Drafting and planning: Adding Movie reviews.

Just before i handed in my poster i decided that it would be a good idea to add in some movies reviews in the terms of the star system from three different film companies.  I thought that by adding in this simple convention my poster would be nicely pulled together and then i could be happy as i felt that at the top there was something missing and so by adding this it would finish off the poster.

As you can see from the image to the left i added in three different reviews from 'Empire', 'Total film' and 'sky movies'.  I decided to use these three companies as they are well known companies in the film industry and are easily recognisable and so would add more legitimacy to the poster and also more realism to it.
I also liked the design idea by having the stars follow the colour scheme of the split down the middle of the page which can be seen in the middle as half of the stars are in white then at the split they change to black.


I decided to use the company EMPIRE as this is a well known and trusted movie magazine and reviewer and so they can probably influence what and audience will see  as if they give a movie a good review people will think and know it is a good movie and so will want to watch and will be more inclined to watch it. Furthermore Empire the magazine company that i chose to advertise my movie for my second ancillary product so i thought that it would create a nice link between the ancillary products.

The second company i chose to use to review my movie was TOTAL FILM I decided to use this company for the similar reasons as choosing Empire in that it is a well established company that can probably sway people into watching a movie.

The last movie i chose to review the movie was SKY MOVIES this was a reviewer that was questioned as to why i would use it but after doing something research i found that sky movies would be the perfect choice to review my movie as the movie is a UK produced movie and Sky movies is a movie and broadcaster based in the UK. As well as this i found that a similar combination (Empire, Sky movies, total film) was used for a Uk produced movie called Legend which proved to me that i made the right decision to use these three movies together as they had been used for a similar movie to mine.

As you can see from the poster for the movie 'legend' which is a UK produced movie has used Empire. Total film and also sky movies. This therefore justifies my choices for the companies to review my movie as i can see that that the combination i used has been used before.
