The double page spread I have chosen to analyse features the film Clash of the Titans. Clash of the Titans is a remake of the classic of 1981 version which shares the same name.
The first page contains the title of the article, an introductory paragraph, the body of the article and several captioned pictures. The second page consists of a small captioned image showing a scene from the film.
The first page is set up fairly conventionally. Part of the title is at the top of the page in a large, gold. I believe they designed the title so that it complimented the grey background and reminded of plaques on statues and other ancient objects. The title definitely stands out combined with the other half which is on the page. All together the title says “Gods and Monsters”. The monsters part is on the other page which further separates the two words from each other and symbolises some of the conflict in the film.
The first page also uses an image of Sam Worthington (playing Perseus) as a background picture, he is standing there in full armour and standing there looking powerful and gives us the feeling he has just conquered a monster. Also the fact that the “Gods” line is on the page he is on and the “monsters” line is on the other lives us the feeling that he is with the Gods or at least fighting against the monsters.
The introductory paragraph is beneath the title and gives the reader a glance into the film and its production. This part is really just trying advertise how good the film is going to by mentioning what films the actors have been in and how the effects will be truly amazing. This section also talks about the story its relation to the original film.
I think this is a great example of what a double page spread should look like. Allowing clear view of all the text and images, setting them up so it is pleasing for the reader to look at.
