On the other hand, with this article it is less detailed than The Witnesses film review. Therefore, this film review from the magazine Total Film is for different audience than that of Sight & Sound. As we can see by the language used in this article, it is less detailed and only tells the main plot and narrative of the film, but not every detail. The potential audience for this magazine film review is normal film goers and people who want to know if this film is worth watching; it is probably for an 18-35 year old male audience. The mode of address for this magazine film review is quite casual, hence its potential audience is quite young. It is also sometimes humorous, for example, the caption of the photo, Glastonbury.
This film review has a variety of breakout boxes including information about predicted interest and the film running time, etc. However, they are used differently compared to Sight & Sound, where it is a full interview with the director, but in this magazine they are just used to fill up space. Furthermore, this review has a sub-title of ‘See this if you liked’, showing it is for a more relaxed, male audience; this also gives the audience a choice of what films they could go and watch.
Moreover, this review always kept on topic about the film and immediately gives any good or bad points about it. The review does not have many columns showing to the audience that there is not that much writing and it is not in much detail. There are many graphics in this review along with a large picture from the film, this also makes it more eye-catching for that younger audience, and shows only by semiotics, that its potential audience is casual and young.
We intend to use this type of casual magazine film review for our film because we do not want to reveal every aspect of our short film, as this will not suit it and we think that it would then be pointless watching the film. Instead, we intend to outline the narrative, include good and bad points and include some breakout boxes.
