Magazine Front Covers Similar To Mine

I like the use of the darker colours used within this magazine front cover and want to use colours of a similar style in mine. I feel they create an eerie and suspicious feel and this would fit perfectly with my film and trailer. I also like the use of less colour and instead using tones such as white, black, grey and blue with the occasional splash of colour. I think it makes the writing stand out more and shows the audience the obvious ideas behind the magazine.

However I would not use Empire to promote my film as the magazine promotes films that are too high budget and my film would not fit into this particular genre. Instead I will use a smaller, independent magazine that mainly promotes films of a similar budget, similar to mine.





Like the image used in the magazine to my right I want my magazine front cover to have important parts of the film both in the near and far distance. For example the tree on the front left of this magazine is very close up and near the camera whereas the girl in the photo is a long shot and simply in the background. I like to use this idea in my magazine as I feel it shows different parts of the film in different lights.

For example I would like Chloe to be at the front of the camera and to be seen as a close up but for Grant and Darren to be either side of her in the background as long shots. The reason I want to do this is that I want it to emphasize Chloe as the main character in my film and Grant as Darren to be seen as merely in the background and not of as much importance as she is. I also want it to reflect the fact that they are both fighting for her.
