Magazine front cover Analysis

Other than the actual trailer and the Poster, a magazine front cover is the last ancillary text used in a combination to advertise our films to our target audience.
Again my main inspiration for my film is I am Legend.

The front cover again shows the text is very important to grab the attention of the selected target audience. The text and colour make us firstly aware of the front cover, then the recognisable figure of Will Smith shows us that its a big blockbuster film, which is shown by the way its an Empire magazine.

It also has many other aspects thats are recognisable to the target audience, such as the other things advertised on the front of the film. Which i need to take in thinking when making my own cover.

Poster Research

One of the tasks for our finished media is too create a film poster and magazine front cover, advertising our film to the target audience.
I am Legend is the main film that i would like to base mine on. The key aspects of this poster is that the text and style is very much associated with the genre of the film.
The poster also makes use that Will Smith is the main focus of our attention.
It then shows us a destroyed American city, which firstly grabs our attention, and then makes us very curious of what the storyline could be about.
There is also a big of text and a slogan that is associated with the film making it recognisable to the target audience.
