Flat Plan- Magazine Article

This is the layout of what I would like my magazine article review to look like. As you can see, I want one page to be very much just one photo with minimal text on top. The next page will be full of information and the article itself. The article will be positive and almost advertising the film, persuading people to watch it. I want the colour scheme to be dark greens and black, to go with the army and war theme, but also to make the white of the wedding dress in the photo stand out more, to attract attention.

I got inspiration for the layout of this from a film review article I had read about the film Twilight, as shown below.

I like the layout of the text, as well as the fact it stand out for being white on top of a dark background. I like the simplicity of it and how one page is a photo and the other is text. 

Rationale:

Colour Usage: I want to have the majority of the text in white, so that it is easy to read. I want the main colours to match that of the poster, so dark greens and blues and black will be used to contrast with the white. I want a lot of dark colour to highlight the fact that the film is quite dark in itself. 

Image Usage: I only want to use one image on the left page and then dedicate the other page entirely for the magazine article. This way, I can include one big image and the audience can have a glimpse of the narrative and what happens in the film. The image will be of a woman wearing her wedding dress and crying while clutching a photograph. I think this will again signify that the film is dramatic and enables the audience to see what they will be receiving when watching the film.  The setting of the image will be in her bedroom, a place where the audience can relate, and I will most likely use a long show so that I can show her emotion on her face, as well as her costume and the props she is using, and the setting around her. 

Text Usage: I will have an article on the left page which will have a positive tone, to persuade the audience to watch the film. I will also have a title which will just be the title of the film 'Bombshell'. I will then have a tagline, to pull the audience in- possibly a pun or something the audience would take pleasure in reading. I would then begin the article with an introduction, briefly summing up the film. 

Layout and Font: I will have very simple fonts that are easy to read and the biggest font will be the title of the article/film. I think any information that isn't about the film (text at the top, like the title of the magazine) with be in a different, more artistic font. One page will be image based and one will be text based. Both pages will be filled entirely and I want to try to include as little deadspace as possible. I think the layout will assist readership because they wont have to switch from page to page, as all of the details and the article will be on one page.
