Research & Planning- Analysis of a film magazine

When looking at film magazines to analyse it was hard to find covers that went with our genre because we are doing a horror, so instead i looked at comedy film magazine cover.

Genre
  • Looking at the main image on the cover you can tell its a horror/comedy, as the actor is Simon Pegg who usually stars in comedy films. You can tell its a horror because of the blood on his costume.
Narrative
  • Even though Simon Pegg usually stars in comedy films he has a really serious facial expression and blood on his clothes, he also has hold of a cricket bat which suggest that is has some from of action in it.
Representation 
  • Simon Pegg on the front of the magazine is represented as a bit of a hero, he is also the protagonised in the film which is also shown on the magazine because he dominates the front cover.
  • Also the red text represents blood in the film and also the blood on his costume shows it is going to be some kind of horror hybrid.
