2 Film magazine front cover analysis'

my posters I have chosen to carry on the dark theme by selecting to analyse both batman and inception film magazines. The 'empire' film magazine produced 2 batman magazine covers in promotion of the new blockbuster 'the dark knight rises'. This is aimed at men as the camera is pointed directly at the main characters faces showing facial expression and costume, showing who's is the bad and who is the good, therefore the reader will get a clear insight of what to expect when going to watch the film. The cat woman front cover is more aimed at men as she seems revealing at the pose is that of fetishism within the business, gaining male viewers, however at the same time keeping that older family reputation, as it being the last installment in the franchise the fans would want to know how the sequel will conclude. 'Empire' magazine also produced a bane magazine cover showing marketing in making the reader perhaps want to by the three as future collectors items etc.

Another film magazine cover that is in keeping with my chosen genre would be the 'total film' front cover of the blockbuster film 'inception'. The front cover is very dark and shows the lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio in a neutral way, almost as if he is 'day dreaming' which is in keeping with the style of the blockbuster film, which focus' on dreams. The film magazine's title is big and colorful in contrast to the actual front cover which is dark and mixes the blue with the black colours as the lead character is surrounded by a concept in the city again because the film is based around architecture and concept. The works 'Film' in the main title of the magazine has the top of buildings as this has a lot to do with inception, therefore the magazine will want to show every aspect of the film to try and promote it on their film magazine front cover.
