One popular convention is to use a double page spread and use large images from the film as this really catches the eye and promotes the film well.

Using stills from the movie that is being reviewed is also another good convention to use, as it makes you want to see what else there is.

Big clear title so you can easily see what film is being reviewed.

The other important convention is the review it’s self witch is often small, because else the reader won’t bother to read it if it’s lot of text. It is white on a black background to help it become more eye catching.

Facts about the film are also another good convention because it really gets the reader interested in the film in just a few lines.
