Ancillary Analysis: Film Magazine Review Page

Film Reviews can be found in various magazines that are published for a general and wide audience. Most magazines have just one review page or at most two review pages for a film, such as The New York Times, however there are magazines that completely focus their entire content on film, such as the British film magazine, Empire Magazine.Film Magazine Review pages have a Main Large Image, from the film, usually at the top of the page,that represents the film and enables the page capture the attention of the reader. There is also a Secondary Image that is present on the page as well, mostly in the middle of the page or near to the bottom or the sides, however it is usually present when the review uses more than one page.
There is a Highlighted Part of the article mentioned separately in a box, sometimes with attractive colours and and in a larger font compared to the font used for rest of the review. It is placed either in the middle of the page or somewhere on the page where it would help to attract the reader. Most of the time it contains important information or a certain line that would attract the reader and cause the person to read the whole review.
The name of the Director and the Actors are also mentioned in the review, either separately or in the main article review. The Name of the Film is definitely given in a font, size and colour that would attract the target audience and mostly at the top of the page or in the beginning of the main review article.
The Main Article Review is what mainly takes up most of the space of the review page. It contains the full review of the film or the plot of the film, with a Verdict at the end of the review i.e. whether the film is good or bad. It comments on the positive and negative aspects of the film and on a bit about the making of the film. The release of the film, it's certificate and running time are also mentioned.
Sub-headings are not very evident in all reviews, however in a larger review, they classify the information according to it's type and relevance accordingly.
The film is also rated with Star Ratings to help the reader decide whether to watch the film or not, based on it's story, acting and appeal to the audience. 
In some magazines there is also a Look Closer column that gives a little extra information about the film.

This poster was from the "Newsline" Magazine. The film review section in this magazine does not focus on just one film, or a certain film that is the talk of the town, but all the main films of the month. The reviews seen here are short and consist only of one image of the film, which can also be the theatrical poster. The review in this magazine is also to the point i.e. it has less detail. The image of Thor, which can be seen clearly, is actually taken from the poster of the film.

This page is also from the same magazine i.e. "Newsline". I noticed that in these magazines there is some confusion for the reader as at times the image for a film is on one page while the review is on another, due to less page on the previous page.

This review on the other hand has been taken from the "Times" magazine. This is the complete review that normally a film magazine would have. There is a tagline, an image from the film with the main characters in it. The review of the film in this magazine is in detail and there is also one line from the review written separately to capture the readers attention.
