Gas Man Magazine review

In order to advertise my film I need to create a magazine review for my film. After looking at other magazine reviews I had decided on a look and the features I wanted to include in my review. I decided to make this on word as its simple to do, but also can make things look fairly good. I took a screenshot half way through making my review so you can see my progress along the way. As you can see I didn't use a template to make this, I decided on a layout myself and created it from nothing. I decided to put the name of the film at the top and make it the biggest thing on the page, hoping it would make readers look at the name and remember it. In this screenshot I had also written a short verdict, along with a star rating system. I was also just starting a review of the actors as I took this screenshot. Overall I would say I am pleased with how the review has turned out, I like most things to do with it, however there are also things which I would change if I were to do it again. For example the name of the film at the top stands out, however I don't like the colouring of it, and it contrasts maybe a little bit too much. There are also things which I would need to add if this were going into a magazine, such as page numbers, the name of the magazine at the top and the section of the magazine this was in. However as I said generally I am pleased with the outcome and think it looks nice and does what it is supposed to, tell the reader about the film, and hopefully make them want to watch it for themselves.
