Film Magazine Analysis.
-This cover is promoting a psychological thriller and one of the main clues to this is the play on words all over the cover, we have the positioning statement above the masthead "THE MIND-BLOWING ISSUE" and "INSIDE THE ULTIMATE HEAD TRIP" "MOST MIND-BLOWING MOVIES EVER" and "MEET THE MASTER OF MIND FLICKS" so all of the coverlines (main and small) are based around the idea of 'mind flicks' which is a psychological thriller.
-This cover sticks to the three colour rule although it does bend it slightly, white, red and silver seem to be the main colours which are used for the positioning statement and coverlines, however the background of the cover seems to have a blue tinge all over it and there are various different hues of blues through that so it does seem like it's another colours but that is the image on the cover so does it really count?
-The blue tinge over the background creates this eerie atmosphere and makes it seem quite cold along with the use of silver and the masthead looks very mechanical which maybe relates to the film, all of these features together create a cold atmosphere which emphasises the idea of it playing on the mind because it's very mechanical like the inside of the mind.
-We have a medium long shot of the character, which looks like it has come from an action shot in the film and there is no eye contact with the audience. This could convey to the audience that it's not actually a personal interview with a star from the film, it is just a magazine issue dedicated to the film.
-We can tell it's a magazine from the features:
