Ancillary Task Deconstructions 2

 

Layout:

This double page spread has quite a professional look. The large masthead lets us know that this double page spread is a review and also follows the colour scheme of white, red, black and beige. A pull quote from the review is in capitols and in black to catch eyes of the reader and also gives a glance into the review. There's a box in the lower left corner the gives the audience details on the move such as the actors in it, certificate, release date and so on and so forth.

There's only one main image in this double page spread and it is of the two main hollywood actors in the movie that play the largest parts. This shows the reader who is in the movie before they even read the review so they can make a snap decision if they want to read it or not by who they see in the picture. The image mixes well with the colour scheme as it has beige sort of tint.

 

Language:

The article goes into great detail while still withholding facts as to not spoil the movie for the reader. It makes comments on the acting and how well this movie was filmed. This will appeal to readers who want to know as much detail about the aspects of the film while still keeping important plot lines under wrap.

 

Layout:

This double page spread has a large masthead on the left hand side of the page in capitols letting the reader know straight away what this article is for. the use of the movie title in the masthead is quick and to the point. The subheader underneath the masthead tells us the location of the movie so the reader is able to get an idea on what the movie could look like in this setting. A pull quote is placed in a box on the lower right hand of the first page, this provides a partern between the next column and also allows the reader a glimpse at the interview itself. A bubble has been used on the main image to give a special little tid-bit about the movie. The colour scheme of red, white and blue are used throughout the double page spread.

Image:

The article uses a large main image showing the film in production. It shows the main actor and director in the image which allows the reader to know who is in the movie and who helped bring it to life. A lot of movies are judged on who directs them and who acts in them so this is a good way to show the reader. A smaller image has been used between the columns from the movie itself, this allows the reader a quick look into the movie, to see what may be a small clue as to what may happen in it.

Language:

The use of capitols in the masthead bring the reader in and catches their eye.

 

Layout:

The layour of this double page spread is far different from the two above. Instead of a simple two column article with small columns under a large image this double page spread has gone for a three column article and boarded the article with a variety of different images. The use of red, black, white and blue is followed throughout the double paged spread and the masthead seems a little lost in the noisy page layout. A pull quote is used that's put in a bright red bubble to catch the readers eye and pull them in with this little sliver of the article.

Image:

Several images are used on this page to creat and L boarder around the article itself. The images show the main lead characters and a few behind the scenes photographs. The use of movie images allows the reader a look into the movie and how well it has been produces. The little view in on the cinematography is to get the reader excited about this movie. The behind the scenes images also allow the reader a look into the production of the movie, a further insight.

Language:

The article both promotes the movie and an opening of a view into the movie by seeing the props. This increases the publicity of the movie and also allows the reader to find out new and interesting facts about the movie.
