ANCILLARY TASK DECONSTRUCTION 1

This film review in a magazine shows an effective layout over a double page spread. The title of the film is at the top in the largest font, to make the reader aware which film the magazine is reviewing. Similarly, the colour of the font stands out against its paler background and the slightly purple coloured text underneath is used to give an insight - all colours are similar, however they stand out from each other due to the tones. Following the blue theme, the first sentence of the review is in a pale blue colour, to navigate where the review starts. It also uses a drop cap to reflect this. The text itself is black and this stands out well against the contrasting white page.

The review demonstrates two images and they both show a backstage insight. The larger one is of the main actor, Will Smith, mid-scene with the cameraman in front of him, and the second is a smaller image of a close up of the actor, again showing crew members. This makes the review stand out against others as it possibly shows the reader pictures that they haven't seen before which are other than stills from the film. The review also highlights a pull quote from the text and places it separately under the largest photo to reinforce it. It is black text on a pale blue background - continuing the blue theme but still allowing the audience to be able to read it.
