ANCILLARY TASK DECONSTRUCTION 2

The layout for this film review is less complex than the other. For instance, one of the pages in this double page spread is taken up by an entire image, whereas in the last deconstruction example, the text is continued onto both pages. Similarly, there is only one image involved in this review compared to the other review. The other review displayed original 'behind the scenes' pictures, whereas this visual is a familiar still from the film. Although it is not something new to the audience, it may intrigue them nonetheless as it makes it clear and understandable what the review is about - Spiderman 2. Blue and red are cleverly used in this review, to make the text stand out and because they are the colours associated with Spiderman. The text is split up by pull quotes and drop caps, so that the audience don't get distracted or bored by the amount of text. It keeps them involved with what the writer is saying. The text itself is formal yet fun, showing a serious review but for the target audience (teenagers+). The writer created a casual, friendly tone for the audience however also seriously reviewed the film. The graph at the bottom shows the statistics for the film - this is a unique point for the review and would attract audiences attention, as it may be something new to them. Finally, "Film of the month" in the top right hand corner would possibly attract an audience who are not familiar with Spiderman - if a regular reader of the review section of the magazine frequently checked the 'film of the month' page, this could possibly be something new and exciting for them.
