In order to get a full awareness of a film magazine front cover we needed to analyse two front covers. I decided to use total film magazine. I have decided to use two action films because it offer a lot substance for me to analyse. Firstly the main image is a very in your face and takes up the majority of the film magazine front cover. It show several elements of the film that it is an action modern film that will be quite fast pacing. It also draws in the eye of the reader to the machine gun which is firing out into the sky. This is quite a clever thing that they have done because they have positioned the title below so this draws in the readers eye tot eh title of the film. As well as the main image being the focus of the film they have also used several sub titles which is giving the reader and idea into what is happening inside the magazine again drawing the reader into read a lot more. Also there are several puffs around the magazine which indicate special offer and also what is going on in the magazine. All of the special techniques images and heading have all got one purpose of and that Is to draw the reader in. also one of the other things which is rather clever is the colour scheme of the cover due to the title being the green hornet they have used a green colour scheme for most of the magazine with only certain bit like the machine gun as not a shade of green. The masthead itself has been not made to look as big and noticeable due to the publisher relying on the film itself to sell the magazine not the name of it. Total film only does this with big blockbuster films. Otherwise they use the title to sell the film by using empowering colours.
