Insperations from pennyslidenshare
I have decided to look at Empire film magazine as it is one of the most successful film magazines out there and the most recognizable. When looking for the magazine I discovered how over priced it was in my opinion one issue was £4. Going back to my audience survey Abbie states one of the reasons she does not buy magazine is because of the price.
My analysis of the front cover. I have selected a few different front covers by Empire and I have noticed all the people have Practical or Catalogue facial expressions this shows seriousness and confidence, the main reason I think the expressions are like this is because of the genre the film is. Inception, X-men and Star Wars all have serious aspects to them they are all action based. To link in with Empire I will ask my models to look serious. I took some pictures of a Empire magazine on sale at ASDA, The contents page has a very long wordy editors not a full bleed image with no sub images. a black and red colour scheme.
the clothes the characters have on are all clean and fit them well they don't look cheaply made and aren't hanging off them this makes the cover look more professional. The characters will obviously be wearing foundation so the camera doesn't pick up any imperfections but it looks very unnoticeable and natural.
The background/ setting is CGI I can just tell as it would be cheaper to edit a background in rather than build a set of go to a destination for a photoshoot.

I have collated a collage of regional magazines to help inspire me and collect research for my regional magazine, looking at Empire was helpful to see what "Film" magazines look like but I also looked at regional marines as they are my focus. I notice that regional magazines don't have celebrity on the front as they are normally dedicated to one specific area and they focus on what goes on in that area.
Penny, make sure that you show you understand the difference between what may be represented in a national/global film magazine vs. a regional one.
