magazine cover analysis - Film

The logo at the top of this film magazine ‘The modern Guide to Movies’ This shows that the magazine is updated and modern keeping up with all the new latest film information. I will include a modern slogan in my magazine as this is key in many film magazines as its their own way of selling their magazines better. This is why i will include a slogan in my magazine. The main masthead title ‘FILM’ looks like it is in metal and because it is busted up and broken and bent gives it that action movie feel. This is also complimented by the main protagonist ‘Angelina Jolie’ who is in all black holding a gun looking serious. Having a famous actress celebrity sells the magazine more, the photo of her is strong and dominant and she is taking up most of the space on the cover. background to this magazine is blurry and it has that look of what things and objects look like when you’re going fast paced past it, this whole front cover of this magazine is given off an action movie type feel. This action type based idea could be because it is trying to advertise the newest action movie featuring Angelina Jolie in ‘Salt’. the word 'SALT' is in capitals as its the name of the film trying to be sold on the front cover, and the fact its linned and not a bold colour makes it more eyecatching and different. The background of this magazine is also a firey red colour again complimenting the genre of action and volience. The snippets of information laid out around the main figgure is a common converntion of how a film layout is. The '100 coolest things in movies ever' text, also adds more interest to the front page, and with the catchy other lines and sayings short and to the point makes this magazine easier to read and is more enjoyable.
