Total Film sweded film article

I have found an online magazine article for the popular magazine 'Total Film' and this has will really help when I create the magazine article. The article discusses the 7 best sweded films on YouTube and helped me determine the tone of these sorts of reviews.

There’s something about a man choking the life out of a stuffed toy that makes a scene so much more moving than when it’s a real dog. This piece of text (referring to the sweded 'I am Legend') alone determines the tone and focus of the review. The review (like the sweded films themselves) are very lighthearted and appeal with 'B-Movie' audiences that find low budget stunts appealing, especially when it is a memorable scene. The reviews are focused on how it reflects the original film and features such as the best scene recreated. Modern sweded films are created for comedy as well expressing a love for the film. Many people see this as a generic pleasure of sweded films.
We’re not entirely sure why the toy dog catches fire, but it’s funny. This text (referring to the sweded 'Edward Scissorhands) further backs up the point that the article and the films themselves are focused on comedic value. 


From this article I have established a tone and focus for my magazine article. I have learnt that articles focussed on sweded films (even by high standard film magazines) focus nearly exclusively on the comedic value and the reviews are very informal. I have chosen an online magazine review compared to offline as it is less formal and sweded films are internet based so it makes sense to use online magaszines as examples.
