Review Case Study

By Maciej Gniadek

UnstoppablePicture from the movie. Top of the page, pretty common find in reviews. The picture usually shows what the movie is about or in close relation to the theme. Known Actor Vs. the train, is the theme of the movie which the picture shows clearly.

The picture is followed up the title and the rating of the movie. People are usually attracted to the rating as it’s the quickest way of deciding if the movie is good or not. The rating establishes the interest the audience should put in to this movie. It makes them wonder why the movie got that rating, which makes them read on.

The journalist side of the review summaries the story with out giving away much details about it. It also talks about the main actor that the movie uses to advertise its self. It criticizes the movie as being “brilliantly simple movie”. ( It give opinion on the complexity of ideas in the movie). The review must be critical of the movie flaws and its tendencies, especially when the director is the main influence for certain things in the movie.

The review uses 1 sentence to summarise the movie . This allows the viewer to decided if his interested in the movie and if he wants to know more about it.

In addition it summarises the movies complexity in also 1 sentence.

The Millers

The journalist side of the (review/ advert) hypes up the movie. It mentions only its positive aspects, while summarising the story of the film. The review needs to be more critical in our case so there is not much we can take from this, apart from the way it summarizes the story.

Allot of pages like to start the body text with a massive first letter of the text. It eye catching and stands out from the text. It helps the viewer to navigate around the page.

Person on the picture between the text is Jennifer Aniston. She’s placed between the text because she's mentioned allot in it. It means that the actress is of bigger importance to the rest of the cast and that she will bring money to the movie as she's the more known actress.

The picture at the top presents the main characters/ cast of the movie. This shows the viewer what they can expect from the movie its self and the quality of the cast.

Page number and date of release is usually at the bottom of the page on the left/right side. Allows the viewer to find the page easily through the contents page.

There is a small table summarising the plot and giving relevant information on movie (cast, director, run time, certificate, released). This gives the viewer enough information to be able to decide if to watch it or not. It also helps to persuade the viewer to keep reading as the table is conveniently placed above the starting paragraph of the text.

Blue arrow points to where the body text starts, helping out the reader find the focal point of the page (important section). It also goes well with the black and blue house style that is used on the page, as Blue arrow is on a black text while the rest of the page follows similar colour scheme.

The journalist side of the interview talks allot about the budget of the film. The review is biased towards the film as it mostly shows it Positive aspects and doesn’t mention much negativity.

The picture is taken from the movie its self. Its shows all the characters in most relevant scene to the review.
