Film Magazine Analysation

Total Film is a well known film magazine. Looking at the magazine, the colours are very warm, as the colours that are in the magazine are, white, red, grey and black. All of these colours make the magazine look natural and warm, because they drag in the audience to see what film they are promoting today and also what they are going to talk about. The colour of the Masthead is White and because the font is big and bold this makes the masthead stand out and instantly the reader knows that this is a film magazine. Above the masthead there is some writing in red to show where films have gone up the chart and this is what reader's would want to see that's why it is in bold red and a big font and also above the mast head.
The straplines are in white and they are quite small but, they still catch your eye because of the different type of writing that has been used and the celebrity name's are in bold white, whereas the description about them and the film they are in is in a normal white colour. At the bottom of the magazine, the main film that the magazine is focusing on is Star Trek and this is in bold white and also in a big font, with the word world exclusive just above in red. This ultimately stands out and makes the reader/audience aware of what they are going to talk about and who the image of the man is.

The image of the man, is very simple and natural as it is black and white. There is direct contact with the eyes just staring at your drawing you in to read the magazine. Also, the way that the man is pouting is very sexual and dynamic and will mainly draw in girls and young women. Also, his eyebrows are very in and look tight and slightly scary as if he mans business and they certainly draw the reader in buying the magazine and having a look inside.

Looking at the magazine, I can see that the target audience will be people that are in their middle 20's to their 50's, because the magazine presents and shows nothing to a young audience and also as the film Star Trek is quite old, it really doesn't associate with young people and that is the same for the magazine.

Film Magazine Analysis

Gorezone is known to be the world's most upmarket horror entertainment magazine. Looking at the magazine, I can see that the colours that have been used are red, blue, black and white. The masthead of the magazine is really bold and stands out, from the bold writing, big font, dark red colour on the font and the black colour shadow. Also, the name of the masthead Gorezone, stands out by itself, because the name shows that the magazine will have a lot of really scary pictures, glory writing and photographs etc.
The model on the front cover of the magazine, has be made up to look like a really scary and horrofic character. This is due to the blood smudges that re on her face and also on her clothes, which show that something has happened to her, like she has been attacked by a ghost. Also, the model has bold brown eyes, that just stare at you and give the audience a really scary look!
Looking at the strap lines, i can see that the actors of the films names, are in a bold red colour and the font is quite big, but the actor name of the woman in the magazine, font size is much more bigger than the others, to promote who she is and what film that she is in. Also, underneath the writing of the actor's names, there is a medium light blue colour of the description of the movie, this stands out because the medium light colour is different and, because the rest of the magazine colours are red, black and white, this medium light blue doesn't really fit in and sticks out like a sore thumb.
Overall the magazine itself, looks like a horror magazine, due to its pictures, writing, font, colours, size etc.

Looking at the magazine I can see that the target audience will be mainly teenage to late 20's/early 30's. This is because the magazine, font, colours and the image itself draws attention to these types of people and associates them, especially as this magazine is promoting a horror film as mainly young people are interested in this type of movie.
