Magazine Cover Analysis

I have chosen this magazine cover to analyse as it has similar conventions to the ones that we intend to use e.g. guns, dark clothing, dark setting. However this idea does differ from ours as there is a single protagonist on this cover where as ours will feature a pair of characters, which will be more of a challenge to still portray a single idea whilst featuring multiple characters.

In terms of the poster itself it depicts many of the conventions of a typical film magazine cover, first and most obvious is the fact that the image itself is over much of the title of the magazine which brings it forwards and almost off of the page to directly grab a passer by's attention and create interest in the film. Also there are a lot of bold eye catching statements to pull the reader in such as World Exclusive or PLUS all to make the reader feel like they will be getting their moneys worth.
