The structure of this review has three columns as this is a
common media convention used by most magazine reviews I have looked at so far.
The font of the title is in bond and enlarged in order to capture the audience’s
attention but can also relate back to the seriousness of the monkey as it
creates suspense. This can be further explored in the image that is used here
as there is much emphasis on what the monkey is actually holding. The use of
this image followed by the actual name of the film shows that the monkeys are
up to something of no good and what the monkey holds in his hand could be the
rise of the monkeys as the title of the film suggests.
The language of the text is mainly in high lexis for example
the use of the word “prequel”. The effect of this is that it makes the review
look really professional and fits in with most magazine reviews. Also the use of high lexis I the review
targets an educated audience.
There
is also a star rating system present on the magazine review which I felt
appealed to me and I think I would use this in my own magazine review of
Monty’s Day Out. This appealed to me because I was under the impression that it
was already rated and liked by many other viewers so it would make me want to
watch it. Underneath this, the use of the director’s name is in bold which suggest
that they are trying to attract viewers who know of the directors previous
successful films and suggests that this film will be of the same standard and
quality. If viewers do not know the directors name, it will definitely stick in
their minds as it is in bold writing.
The
use of the pull quote ‘film of the week’ adds to the reputation of the film as
it makes it seem that the film was so good it won an award for film of the
week. The use of this would make a person want to see the film too.
