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.
