Empire magazine analysis



The noticable feature of Empire front covers is the contrast between text and imagery. The text completly complements the images and gives brief statements encouraging the audience and cosumer to read on. Aswell as having one main story they also offer many sub stories that amy also appeal to the reader as a commercial product with a need to make money.

What is also noticable is the constant mention of popular actors and directors to further entice the audience to consume the product. The gneral format is simple but at the same time dure to the use of colour it appears busy and almost gives the effect of bursting with 'you' want to read and hear about.

The inclusion of article in film magzines boosts the potential success of a film massively as the ratings go up because of another branch of unforced advertisement. It comes across as impartial but realistically it only displays the film that are believed to be sucessful.

We plan to adopt the use of colour and a busy front cover but at the same time ensure our production is the main focus of the page. The layout is important but if it is more noticable than the article then the production fails. We also plan to adapt the choice of shot used to a more conversational appearence as to encourage the reader that the film isn't all about violence.
