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.
