A BFI Sight and Sound Magazine inspired film review for the Persistence of memory is simple yet effective; I chose a classic image of my main character as he glances at his watch in his 'dream' setting. This image is strong in it's meanings; the most effective in suggesting his frustration in losing his time keeping. The soil can be seen in the image; it's symbolic denotations refer to the brevity of life and the empty crystal glasses a fond, lost memory. This still image from the film is most effective in implying the main concept of my surrealist feature. I chose a simple font, remaining neural which contrasts effectively to the white, crisp background. The review is in essay style, columns keep it simple and tidy without too much clutter. The 'FILMS' banner at the top is similar to what would usually be seen in a magazine, to identify the type of article being read, with information below such as the heading in large title size. The large size allows the viewer to identify the name, below are details about the film such as cast, film length and director. I inserted the dark lines to create a border and allows separation between the magazine sections, and important information regarding the film is highlighted with the use of italics to allow the audience to identify them easily. I feel that this image works well with my film; being a snapshot of the highest tension point where the character feels all frustration - this captivates readers and audiences in wondering why this character is concerned, and why these props are there. We want to understand what he is thinking, and what will happen.
