Ancillary: Unnatural Comfort Magazine Reveiw

Above is the two page spread of our magazine review for our film Unnatural Comfort.
We have designed it based on research into other professional magazine reviews from successful magazines.

The layout is simple yet effective, this shows a level of professionalism which makes the audience to read further on. It fits in with the conventions of a film review with the title at the top, a brief catchy headline, some images to draw your attention around the two pages and a text body which describes our film on a contextual level basis.
The images are spread out equally across the two pages allowing balanced compositional rhythm between the images and text structure. This way the audiences attention will be drawn to both pages. They see the images of interesting screenshots from our film then are drawn to reading further to find out more. The same applies to the fonts and design of the title and heading text.
At the start of the first paragraph of the text body on the first page we enlarged the capital letter which helps lure the audience's attention to reading without them being aware of it, somewhat like a subliminal message. This works well with the small film role style image layout beneath the heading with its bright outstanding colours and design.
We used the same font and design for the title and text in our magazine review as well as the background text as we did in our poster. This helps create a strong sense of brand identity linking all of our products together.

For our magazine review we chose to use a black background, the mysterious dark colour promotes the unnatural ominous theme of our supernatural thriller in a unnoticeable subliminal message kind of way as we do with the protagonist in our film. We chose not to use the same white layout of our poster because we did not want to seem repetitive. Also, the poster highlights the parody of the story of our film where as the magazine review aims to acquaint our audience in a more in-depth way to further attract their attention.

We constantly promoted a sense of our brand identity to attract our audience' throughout the entire layout of our review.
The the large eye catching titles images, the text and extras like the rating and most importantly the cue of our production company title, Flowmotion Films.

Altogether we have presented followed a conventional rule as we have used brand identity in a way for our audience to recognise it through all of the elements we have used in our ancillary products. Our magazine review follows a conventional rule through the use of header, headline, brief description in our magazine review, which is a conventional element for our magazine review.
