Half of the double spread is taken up by a screenshot from the film which gives the reader a visual representation from the film and gives them a teaser of what to expect; the photo caption usually tells the reader what is going on in the image, however, in this example, the caption features a humorous twist, meaning it doesn't actually state what is actually happening in the image. In the bottom right-hand corner of the spread are further recommendations of similar films where the reader can find other films that may interest them. Also in this box is a link to their website, the magazine website and the page number. On the opposite page, the title is a very dominant feature and gives a star rating guide to match the critic's review. It is also clearly states that the film was given a movie of the month award. The magazine is original in its use of a running time/interest graph showing which parts were most thrilling, something I haven't seen in film magazines that I have previously researched. The article itself briefly describes and analyses the film from a critical point of view and even includes a short overview for those who may not have time to read the whole article. A direct quote has also been taken from the article and made vibrant to the reader to give them a brief feel of the point the article is attempting to get at. At the bottom of the article is also the information regarding the stars, age certificate, running time, distributor, director and screenplay.
