Ancillary Task - Article review

This is a draft of our magazine review. the first page is split into two sections. each section being almost as a profile page of the two main characters , Danny and Maggie, a picture of both characters will be on their profile and also introducing the audience to the characters, this is a good technique in order to get the audience to see the difference between the two characters personalities. The use of bright colors and bold writing is going to be used on Maggie's side to reflect her bubbly, unique personality, whereas plain colours and italics will be used on Danny's side to illustrate the contrast between them. At the top of the page there is a rhetorical question; 'An ugly girl,a good looking boy and a dream... Now who said dreams don't come true?
This question will help place the audience in a situation where they would be questioning their own imagination. This will be useful as it creates an unrealistic mood.
The colors used in this review are mostly Pink and Blue. These colors will be also used in the poster to create a coherent style. this shows that the production company has a particular motif color scheme that is used in all their film reviews. This is done to show consistency in their reviews and also to make their reviews recognizable to their target audience. The layout of the review helps attract new readers due to the strict and ordered layout. The review is presented through the use of columns. The columns help keep the review in an orderly fashion and is also part of the consistency used on all the reviews. The review is a double page spread and includes a profile section about each character. This is done to create a comical effect which can ease the mood of the reader and allow them to drift into a feeling of euphoria.
In terms of images, there is an additional photo connecting both pages at the bottom. This image helps create the split lifestyle of both characters. Each character is placed on their own side of the page however,the image itself shows them looking at each other. Presenting this to the readers will create a clear view of the romance that will be going on throughout the film. In addition, the image also leaves readers to envisage their own idea of what may be happening because they see a good looking boy dropping his eyes on an ugly girl.
