Film Magazine review page flat plan

Below I have created another flat plan for my second ancillary task and some examples of review pages from the like of Empire and Total Film. This relates to my product as it presents the first stage of the review pages development.

This review page has a main image and a strikingly bold title

This page has two slightly smaller reviews and additional information such as the running time for the audience

I like the style of this page because it is simple to navigate and easy to understand

Rationale 

I have planned to use light colors that are not to bright or distracting to use on my double page spread. The main reason for this is that the central focus should be on the main image in the foreground.The main image will feature a still of the closing shot , an eye overlooking the city.This eye was meant to be  a metaphor for the totalitarian government, who have full control over the residents within this world I have created. I have decided to write an article for the double page spread that includes lots of puns and humor. One issue with my previous work was that I did not re read my work and as a result it was lacking in good grammar and punctuation.I intend to check my work regularly to ensure that this does not repeat itself.Also , This year I will take care with positioning text and columns as I want it to be as ordered and easy to understand as possible. I will follow the conventions of Empire and Total Film without mimicking them as I want this to be an original product. I think at AS level, the main flaw of my double page spread was that it looked to plain and had a lack of originality in its design, so I intend to improve on that here. I also intend to add an additional information section on the page giving a glimpse of the actors, genre and synopsis , similarly to some of Empire or Total films works.
