This review of the film “Warrior” displays a large wide shot image of the main protagonist of the film. The picture is positioned on the top right of the magazine article, even though it takes up most the two pages. The use of only one image draws all eyes on this particular image, this helps capture the viewer’s attention in reading the film review. The enlarged image is screenshot from the actual film, giving an insight to the audience on what the film is like. The image chosen for the article is a picture of the main character in the film “Warrior”.
The font used for the main title is plain simple but effective. All letters “WARRIOR” are in capitals and in blue. Because of it being plain, bold and in capitals it gives the sense of masculinity and enables readers to pay attention to the name of the movie directly.
The type of languge used to discuss the film is formal and targeted at an upper or middle class audience. The writer mentions “ there are diffrences, ofcourse. The fighter was a true story...” indicating it is formal yet fairly relaxed and engaging with the adience as he says “ofcourse”. This was used to excite the audiences interest as its a reality based movie, then there will be a sense of formality when audiences are watching the movie.
Also there was a quote in the article that quoted ‘Intensely Thrilling, While it gets-you-here stirring’ from the line, audiences are put on the edge of excitement, the quote was in a gold bold capital letters with a blue highlted background, this way the writer made sure the quote stands out from the article, as it is a opinion from a proffesional movie critic, audiences are more likely to watch the movie due to this sense of proffesionalism.
Furthermore next to the main image, there is a word box that gives facts about the movie, for example it says the main protagonist is played by a famous olympic gold medalists and a former WWE wrestler, this was mainly used to enhance the chances of audiences goin out and watching this movie, due to the actor being a fan favourite, the poste ris a one way trip to sucess , as who wouldnt want to watch their favourite hard knocked wrestler in a modern movie? By raising the levels of intrugue , it gives a question to the audiences, is this movie worth watching?
