Entertainment
Entertainment weekly is a film magazine that is published weekly in America. By looking at the image it looks as though it is aimed at a more mature audience, this magazine looks like it would attract males between the ages of 25-30. The title is bold and easy to read, the colour of the title also ties in with the rest of the colours used throughout the magazine cover. The font used for each title and sub title is easy to read and is very basic.
The composition of the image can be seen as quite demeaning, this is due to the low angle, expressionist angle that has been used. Although the angle of the image is titling downwards, his facial expression doesn’t lack any confidence; this image therefore challenges conventions due to the angle it is taken at, if the angle is tilting downwards it usually makes the person within the shot look small and weak. The name of the person within the image is also clearly written in a bigger font size than the rest of the titles and selling lines.
The mise-en-scene also helps to conjure the Victorian diegsis of the film.
Only four sub titles are used, this means makes the magazine cover not look crowded or contain too much empty space. The magazine cover also features other well-known actors on the front cover as advertisement to encourage people to buy the magazine.
The colours used within this magazine cover suggests that the character within the image is not very welcoming, it suggests what kind of character he portrays and gives the audience a clue as to whether he is the protagonist or the antagonist. The colours give the atmosphere of the magazine cover an unhappy, sad, cold and mysterious feel.
The use of space is also used well, the writing does not cover the importance aspects of the main image, and it also doesn’t leave too much free space. The hints of red throughout the magazine cover suggest that the character is from a film that is from the horror or thriller genre.
