Today we designed our film magazine cover, which is just a rough draft. We decided to have our character in the centre of the cover as she is the main attraction of the magazine and we want people to see this straight away. we have yet to think of a magazine title, so we have left it for the time being. We decided to have the character and not the actor on the poster as it is more iconic and more recognisable as it relates to the film. Next to the image we are going to have text, with the characters name, the film title and the actresses name as our audience will then be informed if they are not already. The font will be in a white colour to match the characters out fit and make it stand out from the black background. we decided to have a black background as it fits in with our thriller genre. Other information will also be on the magazine cover, including other films out at this time. Also to fit in the conventions of a magazine we will have the price and date of the issue.
Clear analysis of your reasons given here - well done. I like the look of this. Don't forget you can use a real magazines title if you want to - Total Film or Empire. Reference magazine covers that have the chaacters rather than the actors to attract people to a film. Good knowledge of conventions of a magazine shown. Specify how this targets your audience.
