Film review page: Empire.

Empire has lots of film reviews within its skins. I looked at a review of 'Up In the Air' which was in the 'IN CINEMAS' section. The review was edited by Ian Freer and written Ian Nathan. It includes the release date, the certificate, the director, the cast, the screenwriters, running time and plot all within a quick information box right at the beginning of the review, which appears underneath the title. There is also a boarder of a double black line, which makes it look all included and together, which makes it look neat, this would attract me in the way I would like my review to look like. It also has a large image which takes up a whole page, which is usually a screen shot, that takes up a single page. The colour scheme of the review pages is orange, black, maroon and white, this is a simple colour scheme which is sweeet and effective. They also have a 'LOOKCLOSER' box that gives detailed information about the people in the film.
Empire also has a range of page spreads, for example 3 page spread consists of on the first page, a title, info and text, then second page is the large image, with the details on the film box, then the third page has another image at the top then 4 columns of writing below it, with quotes to stand out to a reader.
They also have a star system... ***** Classic, **** Excellent, *** Good, ** Fair, * Tragic. Which is quite fun and interesting...


With inspiration from Empire I will concentrate on Banner, By-line, caption, column rule, x-head, drop cap, font, footer, headline, house style, masthead, proofs, pulled quotes,runaround, spread, strapline and teaser.
