The magazine that we are styling our review on is 'Little White Lies'. Upon looking at an issue of the magazine there are many features of there reviews that stand out. The most notable of these is the theme that runs throughout the whole magazine. For example, in one issue of 'Little White Lies' they had a theme of an apocalypse running and on a few of the reviews they would have scorch marks on the pages. This is unique to the magazine and is more to do with the layout than the actual review its self. We are going to take this idea and incorporate into our review. We are going to use a theme of Alice in Wonderland in our layout. This means we are going to use alot of light colours like blues and greens for the layout of our review.
The language used in these reviews is not something you would expect to find in a film magazine. Although film reviewers tend to have a vast vocabulary, the language that is used in these reviews stands out. The words that they use to describe the film they are reviewing have a sense of upper class about them. Words such as trepidation and thought provoking radicalism tend to be found in more upper class conversations. We have spent a lot of time looking at the standard of language used in these reviews and have made our review as close as we could possibly make it in terms of the text.
