total film

This is a double page spread of the highly anticipated feature film, 'The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes'. As you can see from a general glance, it contains similar attributes to the Empire spread- The fusion of interesting, widely spread pictures and relevant prose. But the general set out is not very comparable- the pictures are all of different size (some cutting into each other), the prose is placed on different levels etc.
This embedded quote has not only being fonted in large capitals, but is coloured in red (a very powerful colour). It places quite a hype around this 'Andy Serkis' guy who, for those who don't know, played Gollum in 'The Lord Of the Rings' series aswell as Kong in 'King Kong'. If you've seen these films, you're likely to respect the level of performance on Andy's part and how captivating the two plots are. A very nice tool in achieving more interest!
This 'timeline' section of the spread really delivers some variety. Again, the colour red catches attention. The phrase, 'The Apes Story So Far...' is actually quite an effective play on words as, similarly to the Star Wars series, 'T.R.O.T.P.O.T.A' was created as a prequel to 'The Apes' series which began over 40 years ago.
