Sight And Sound magazine review analysis



Sight and Sound magazine is an international film magazine published by the BFI. 
The review page itself is simple and easy to understand. The title of the review ''Memory bliss'' has been placed at the top of the page, in an easy to read black font. The title is situated just below this, the text is smaller but uses the same font and colour. Just below that is a short summary of what you will find in the review page, informing the reader of the journalists name. Next comes the credits, which tell the reader who made the film, how long it runs for and who you can find starring in it. The actual review has been split into three columns, breaking up the text which is not as daunting as having a page full of wordy analysis. A picture, probably of a key moment or strong shot within the film has been placed in the top right of the page, keeping the layout simple and not too crowded. 
I think this type of review page would be most suitable for us as the magazine promotes experimental and niche films where as Total Film and Empire magazine rave about blockbusters with well known actors. The layout will suit our film well and we would be able to choose one of our strongest shots to feature alongside the review.
