Planning and Research- Analysis of Magazine cover

•  This is the 'Empire' magazine which promotes many films and reviews.
• The film this magazine is promoting is 'The Dark Knight' you can tell by the dark colours and low key lighting used in the background connotes a horror look.

• The bright green and purple brings out the text to make it stand out to the audience.

• The main image is of the main character in the film, just by looking at him tells you he is scary by the face paint on his face and the his facial expression, where he is smirking which contrasts with the setting he is in which looks like a prison, also is eyes are the same colour as the green of the text this is so the colours flow and relate.

• The text which says 'He's a cold blooded, mass murdering clown' this give a typical convention of how you would describe a character in a horror film.

• This magazine again is a popular film magazine 'Total Film'. Total film doesn't promote many horror films.
• I choose this front cover, as it does relate to what my trailer is about as i am using a social network scheme.
• By looking at the front cover you can tell the genre could be said to be a drama. The font is original and classy this connotes a drama film.
• The way the magazine is layout with the images of people faces shows what the film is about i really like this idea and have been looking at using this for my own.
