Film Magazine Cover Comparison

This image shows I have followed the codes and conventions for a Film Magazine front cover. It compares both my own cover to a professionally made cover and shows how it was layed out in comparison.

They both use a colour scheme, mine uses a red coloured colour scheme and the other magazine uses a blue coloured colour scheme. Like with my poster it uses semiotics and links colour ideas, for example red could represent blood,guts,evil, the devil etc.

The picture directly addresses the audience as the image is looking straight forward, so they feel as if they are being looked back at. It may also creep the person out as the picture is slightly distrubing.

My poster also, like the other poster uses advertisments and caputures the audiences attention making them want to find out what else is in the magazine etc.
