Final Review Page
This is the final draft of my review page. I made a few changes since the last draft. I moved around the pull quote as I wanted there to be more of a balance between text and images. I also changed the quote to something more eye-catching. I also added a star counter as a way of giving my film a 'verdict'- I focused on Anticipation, Narrative and Enjoyment and gave my film a mark out of 5- then I did an Overall Rating. This is common of real media models as it is a quite and simple way of indicating whether a film is worth watching.
I like the overall effect of my review page. I feel it does resemble real media models I have seen. I like the range of text and images so as not to make the spread too text heavy.

Latest version of my review page
Here is the most up to date version of my review page. The layout is almost completely finished and the text is not yet written. I have sorted out the problem with the gutter and the centre line by deciding I want a 2cm gap between each column. The A3 review will fold in the middle of the tree in the picture of Tina so as not to disect any of the writing like it threatened to do before.
I have also made the Love facts from match.com box a bit more interesting by making it pink and adding a darker pink stroke around it; then I included three love hearts to make it more appealing and interesting to look at. Once the body of the review is added in, the whole spread will look more realistic.
