I have learnt a great deal about the conventions for a magazine review through the research of this task. I was able to understand what is typically found in a review and why this is typically used by the creators of these texts. An example of the conventions are the use of large, colourful images which are shown on the page of the review. This is done to grab the attention of the audience as they may be flicking through the magazine. The image is often used from a pivotal moment within the film, as it gives an insight to the audience as to what the film may be about. From this task, I am able to apply the knowledge of magazine reviews conventions to my own magazine reviews as part of my ancillary tasks. I aspire to follow the conventions of these reviews, as it will allow anyone who views my own review to identify what the text is about and fits into existing review patterns.
