Below is the annotation I made on a two page spread on 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' within Total Film magazine. Along with annotation of two pages of a 4 spread of 'Shame' within Little White Lies. I have made notes below both images to show the comparisons I noted from the annotation.
- Total film appears a lot more 'cluttered' and busy, with the 'similar films to watch', 'talking point' and 'predicted interest curve' filling up space where there could be review. In comparison, Little White Lies simply has all review, no 'mainstream magazine' features, just review text and then the scores at the end.
- Little White Lies appears to look more sleek and professional.
- The layout of text in both reviews is actually similar, both compliment the shape of the photograph, however Total Films review is more dotted around the place, whilst LWLs review is straight and without disturbance.
- Both images to take away slightly from the review. The image of Shame does overpower the text due to the small font, whilst the Hunger Games pictures is placed in the middle of both pages and is what the audience see straight away.
