creating new film review double page spread


When creating my horror film double page spread I needed to consider different conventions such as the colour and images as well as the written information within my actual double page spread.

By also looking at previous attempts I was able to develop my knowledge and understanding of how a review needed to sound and  look.

  • I then began to use a Program called ‘In Design’ which allowed me to create a blank double page spread template to be the foundation of my actual review and also creating columns to help me easily insert images and text to create a structural double page spread

  • I then began finding backgrounds of crinkled paper which helped illustrate the setting which was in a school
  • Then I began to think of the type of images I was going to use within my double page spread I then thought by using my main image from my previous poster I was able to create a scarier effect due to the look and detail u did previously when constructing this image. I also used different images from scenes within my film, this aided my audiences to be encouraged to watch the film as the images look appealing.

  • I then inserted my logo ‘OMINOUS’ and changed the position to a verbal angle as it challenges the traditional mastheads used by actual film reviews.

    I then created a blank word document and copied out my dialogue which I was going to use within my review.  I also wrote my dialogue in  3rd person as it helps conform to other film reviews which have been written by critics who voice their opinion regarding the positives and negatives of a  film. I wrote my review regarding the strengths of the film as well as a few negative as it helped my review become more realistic 

The difference between old review and my new review

When producing my old review I struggled to understand what was needed and I also believed the main objective of the review was to look appealing, this is the reason why the quality of  my double page spread did have quite a lot of aspects of a horror film. However the content didn’t reflect the actual look of the double page spread which has effected the final products

Old Double Page Spread




The New Horror Double Page Spread





However, in my new horror double page spread I do believe that I had time to plan and write from a 3rd person perspective how good my actual film was and what could be improved or changed to make the film become more effective . I also use different effects such as the crinkled paper background which showed connotations to the setting of the film and also the use of darker colours and reds helped illustrate the genre of the film which was horror and as you can see there is a dramatic difference within my actual work which highlight the development of skills .
