Many film magazines follow the same format as any other type
of magazine with tendencies like Headlines, stand firsts and drop caps.
Therefore, I decided to use the knowledge I developed last year when making a
music magazine to inform my drafting process.
Option 1 is possibly my favourite as it involves having the
whole background as an image which is a very immersive way to present a review.
It is also fitting with my genre which is occasionally decadent whilst being
immersive and beautiful. Therefore, if when shooting on location I take a
strong image of my cast this kind of layout lends itself to such imagery.
Option 2 is perhaps more conventional for a film review because
of the layout and the spacing. It also has two images from the film instead of
one which means a potential audience member can see more of the work and thus
is more likely to be attracted to seeing it. There is also more room for text
within this layout which means more content can be placed on the page and,
usually, the more information about a film the better. The room for pull quotes
and larger sections of texts are also a good way to grab a glancing reader’s
attention if an interesting statement is placed.
Option 3 feels more basic than the other layouts but this is
not necessarily a bad thing. This is a good possible layout as it is clear and
to the point. It equally allows the reader to be attracted by an image as it
does to be attracted by a pull quote or interesting headline.
