Looking into Film Magazines . .

I have been researching different film magazines before we start our own as I wanted to look at the typical conventions and different elements that are popular.

These are some magazine covers I have annotated;

These two magazine covers have a lot in common, the main character is in the middle in front of the magazine title, bringing attention to them - there is also not much going on in the back ground as that would take away the attention from the actor in the middle. So I think that we should aim to this in order to make it look more professional. Also the name of the film is almost as big as the title of the magazine itself, this draws the eye towards it and if you're interested in the said film you are more likely to purchase it - I have already done this to our magazine cover.
