Typical codes and conventions of a film review page are to have large images, that are eye catching so the audience wants to read it. The images usually consist of one large primary image then one smaller side image. The images usually don’t overlap the text as they have a border round it so it has no bleed. This is done to ensure that it is rigid and easy to read. A conventional film review page is a double page spread, almost A3 size.

The text of the typical film review is quite consistant. Font size and colour stays the same other than the title and tagline which has to stand out. The colour schemes of review pages are also consistant we a typical ¾ colour scheme. This doesnt usually relate to the text, but of the image and borders. In most review pages they also have a couple pulled quotes which are embedded in the text, with a rap around.
