film magazine analysis

Empire
Again this magazine cover follows all the main media conventions for a magazine. For example, the title is the biesst and boldest text on the page to make it it obvious and easy to identify. There is one main image on the page to represent the main article freature within.The font and colour used on this cover represents the different stories and to show the most important and least important stories. For example, 'EMPIRE' has a mocuh constructed font to portrat a building, if you look at the 'M' it could represent two building corners to imply the 'Empire' of the film magazine industry. This makes you think that it is the best magazine to find out about past, present and future films. the quotation 'BLOODY HELL! Harry comes out fighting' is placed right next to Harry Potters face which is indeed all bloody. This ties in with the main article of the magazine which gives you an insight as to what is going to be discussed. There are also features of other things such as other films being discuessed which are of less importance so are displayed at the bottom of the page in smaller writing. There is a '45 new movies you need to know about right know!' block on the top left which is going to take up quite a lot of the magazine so it is quite important to have the visibly on show.
