2. The magazine has 97 pages.This particular
review has only half a page devoted to it.The
Much Ado About Nothing review is on page 61
which is relatively in the middle.
This may suggest that it is perhaps an
independent film.They may not have enough
money to pay for the extra magazine pages
unlike the ‘Man of Steel’ and ‘Populaire’ review.
Also that it may not be a big block buster film
aimed at a large number of people.
3. The fact the reviews are seen as chapters in
the magazine highlights the move to the
digital age. People no longer will have to buy
a magazine they can just read it online, on
their own comfort and on may platforms like
mobile phones, ipad, and laptop.
4. The style and layout is slightly different here
as it is only half a page for the review.
5. Firstly on the right hand side there is the title
with director and stars underneath.
On the left hand side on the same line there is
image form the film which is smaller as it is
only on half a page.
Then there are two and a bit columns of text
about the film with the rating underneath
6. The image is different than ‘Populaire’. As this
image is in pink which is the magazines
colors.Where as the fill page reviews have
their pictures in colors and at the top on its
own and then the title at the bottom.
7. The main colors of this review are pink and
white.
The pink and white may have been used to keep
the color scheme simple, they have also put the
picture in pink.
The pink may have been used to portray some
themes of the film as there is romance in it
which is aimed at females therefore that’s why
the pink may have been used.
The pink colored text make it slightly hard to
read on paper therefore the audience can read it
online.
8. For the font Serif and San Serif have been
used.
The title is in San Serif making it easier to
read and stand out it is also in bold.
The ‘directed by’ and ‘starring’ are in italics
and the names are in bold showing their
importance.
The text starts with a bold indent letter and
the text is in San serif .
9. The review starts of with some historical context
of the film.
Then is goes on to say where it was shot and a
bit about the actors.
The next paragraph goes on to describe it as a
‘teen drama’ and how you would feel during the
film.
It then goes on to talk about the director and
how well he has done by making this film, lastly
it generally sums up what they thought which
was mostly positive and praises the actors.
10. The unique thing about LittleWhite Lies
magazine is that it has like side column in
chronological order including anticipation,
enjoyment and retrospect, this also what the
MuchAdo About Nothing review has.
11. Long sentences are used to explain the films.
It’s quite humorous when talking about the
actors.
It uses adjectives like ‘witty and charming’.
The mode of address is formal.
They also use informal words like ‘ theatre-
luvvie’.
12. I think the review is quite effective as it tells
us about the film and what it is about.The
image used also gives a clue and raises
questions about the film.
However they give an opinion which is quite
biased maybe they should let the people
decide for them selves.
13. The review highlights the identity of the
magazine as, it is quirky and chatty and
informal. Just like the magazine with the very
unique front covers.
And it also offers interviews and sell
magazines online giving their audience more
information.
14. I personally think in terms of the layout, in a
magazine style will be quite easy to layout on
the page along with the rating system.
However I think the actual language of the
review will be a bit difficult as everyone has
their own style, therefore it may prove
difficult to stick to that.
