Text 1: A Film Review

  
                                              Kick Ass 2 - Empire Review


            Audience: Both genders though probably more so for males, age range = teens
       (This influences the text because:)  must be gender neutral, age appropriate i.e. written for                                                  adults, could reference to comic origins/fan expectations from Kick Ass (both                                                    film and comics.
    
          Purpose: Inform, to advise
                      This particular review has not been written to persuade the reader to watch                                                          the film but instead gives an overview of the plot of the film.
           Format: A webpage from the Empire website and includes a still from the film and poster art.                                             The still photo has been used as a teaser for new characters and plot lines

     Interesting language features: the writer of the review uses the older Kick Ass film as a base line to compare                                                    it to the new film that has been released. the writer also comments on the film                                                    to give readers an understanding of what is happening in the film to get readers                                                  interested/involved with the reviewers writing.
     How Technology has Influenced this text: As the review is on a website the readers have an opportunity to            comment on the review and have their own say on what has been written. Also, readers can choose to like          the post to show their gratitude towards the reviewer as the page offers a 'Like' button for those who have              Facebook making the review more open to those who use social media.
