Research and planning: film magazine analysis 1

This magazine is clearly a film magazine. I can tell this because it says "The 500 Greatest Movies Of All Time" and it also has a picture from a well known movie scene on the front. I can tell this magazine is based on horror because of the film displayed, which is The Shining. The colours used also represent the stereotypical horror look. The audience for this film would be people interested in both horror films and films in general. That makes the audience very wide. On the front of the magazine we can see the cover line saying the title of the film, along with a cover line above that is bold "100 covers to choose from" this will appeal to a wide range of audiences; this is what I need to think about when designing my own magazine cover
