Main task- article research

by looking through a variety of articles for example empire and total film i have summed up what it necessary to put into my article and what could be put in if i wanted to add a little extra.

• Pictures of the film (this is a necessity) i will therefore provide a variety of different images that represent my film as well as advertise it to the correct target audience. I will have a main focus image that will be the main attraction visually to the readers of my article
• I will also have a star rating for my film which will provide an overview of how critiques have rated my film based on a 5 star rating
• i might include a release date for extra information
• film credits are not used all the time as well however this may be important to add if i want a varied article that is very informative
• i could also add a 'see this film if you like' which will enable me to inform my target audience of what media products best represent my story line for example Mr and Mrs smith.
• it also important to continue a colour scheme mine is going to be red and white which connotes death and a sense of mystery however the white background will not distract the readers attention away from the text.
• It is important to provide the name of your magazine as it is a brand therefore i must create my own and publish it at the top of my article in order for it to look realistic and represent a conventional article from a magazine.
