White Lies Magazine - Keira

Here... is a link to Little White Lies Magazine online, which we have researched in order to start to get a feel for the magazine section of the ancilary tasks. The writing style (from the reviews i've read) is quite formal but maintains a broad audience appeal by being easy to understand by not over-using long words and complex phrasing.

For example, this is an extract of a review of Alice In Wonderland:

"The result is a film both familiar, and inventively different, from Lewis Carroll's nineteenth-century fantasy novels for children, not to mention John Tenniel's accompanying illustrations. Adaptation is not just the medium, but a central theme, as one Alice, half-guided by a book and a vision, is transformed into another."

Some colloquial phrasing is used ("not to mention") but it comes accross over all as a highly intelligent and well-informed review, convincing the audience they know what they're talking about. This is the kind of style we will aim for with our magazine piece, therefore.
