Brief Magazine Analysis

I chose the NME cover and the Mojo cover for my brief analysis, the NME cover has a quite unusual image on the front of what you might call an 'unattractive' woman wearing no clothes, this is because fans of the band will regognise her and associate her with the band. The colour on the NME cover is a more mellow and easier on the eyes the closer it gets to the image of her, which helps focus the attention on her image to hopefull buy over fans of the band . Mojo on the other hand is a basic design as the colours are mainly red as the background and black to show the main image, which is of the iconic figure John Lennon and any people that see his face will be tempted to buy it also with the background being red it stands out from all the other magazines that will be on the shelf and that will make people focus their initial attention on it and if they're in a rush then they will pick up the magazine if they're interest is in music which is why music magazines like these two examples are good because they're more specific than a newspaper as they usually focus on one genre of music which will make certain fans associate each amgazine with their destined music genre and if the magazine interests them they will become fimilliar with the maggazine front cover layout and will realise it stright away on a shelf and then they won't browse the sehlves for anything else than their magazine they desire. which is why magazines usually keep their layout similar in each issue and trying to use colour to attract new people to the magazine.

Introduction

Hi, I'm John i've decided to make a short film trailer as my Media coursework, i'd like to base my short cilp on a horror theme, for instance something like halloween or a suspence thriller. I am undecided yet on exactly what my film clip will be about, but it will be a horror styalised clip.
