Empire Magazine Review Analysis

This article is from empire magazine reviewing New Moon from the twilight series.

At the top of the article there is the 'In Cinemas' logo consisting of a black and orange colour scheme, with an orange arrow inside a black box and the word 'In' is in white. This logo is used in every addition of the magazine and is vital to this specific kind of article. The black and orange colour scheme is also followed in the rest of the review. For example, all the accents in the words or the smaller titles are either in crimson or orange.

The majority of the article is taken up by a large still from the film with a caption under it. The rest of the review is in relatively small text, apart from the title of the film which is in big black letters so that it stands out. Other parts of the text that are supposed to stand out are either in red or orange.

Besides from the actual review, the article contains other features such as the 'Look Closer' box which is in a white box next to the main photo. On top of the main photo there is a red box which contains the magazine’s website in white text. At the end of the article, there is a verdict box which sums up the reviewers feelings on the film. Under this box there is the rating in stars.

I will be using this article as a template for one of my own articles on my film.
