The town review by Empire magazine


This article for Empire magazine is about the town, film. It has a big image with a large font saying the name “The Town” in capitals. Both of these features grab the audience’s attention and suck them in. The images used back up what the text is saying and stops it from looking dull.
The text is clearly written for film lovers as it links in other films with similarities (the other film Affleck produced) expecting the reader to know of them, without explanation or description. The review is positive and cheerful and is clearly written by a Ben Affleck fan. It state the genre and some of the plot with quotes weaved in when relevant to the film. It shows quotes from a short interview with Jeremy Runner one of the cast members to finish.
The images all contain a small sentence explaining the picture so its clear to someone who hasn’t watched the film. It’s obviously written to persuade its audience to watch the film as it shows it in a very positive light.
The magazine shows good quotes in bold so it makes more of an impression on the reader. The colours highlight important features to make them stand out it also makes the whole page look more interesting to the reader.
