Magazine Review article draft

When it comes to the magazine review article of our short film, as a group we must make sure to create drafts of the article and correct any mistakes making sure with the final product, it is of the highest quality and sounds professional.

Possible Introduction

"When I grow up, I want to be happy". Words that have been spoken by a young British girl dreaming about her fairy tale future; naive, innocent, bright. Little did such a character know that within a few short years of becoming a teenager, things would spiral downwards as short term happiness becomes the priority and long term consequences were completely forgotten. Sound familiar?

Since the article is aimed at students (mostly sixth form and lower university students) the introduction must hook readers in, in an intellectual manner immediately mentioning the film itself and getting to the point. As shown above within the first   couple sentences the plot of our short film is revealed without it being too obvious or over revealing for example a spoiler. The rhetorical question at the end of the introduction would aid to communicate with the readers more as they would feel personally addressed with the question helping them relate therefore more likely to watch our short film.

Main Paragraphs

These paragraphs must again be written in a formal manner however keeping in mind it is aimed at students who are possibly doing Media or Film studies. In order to make the article more engaging a quote of some sort should be used to add life for example from the director, or a member of the audience or some sort. Also, due to magazine reviews being a different company to the film production company it has to be unbiased therefore some realistic criticisms must be added to the article. 

Possible conclusion

The film leaves you wondering: in modern Britain can there be a "Happily Ever After?" 

The conclusion or ending paragraph being one simple sentence makes it effective and memorable. The incorporation of the title of the film within the rhetorical question asked again is an interesting way to engage readers to the last word.
