Magazine Design Choice
I have chosen to go with my first design this is because it links best with the conventions of a film magazine. I wasn't my cover to stick to conventions as I feel that they all have a standardised layout, and therefore the magazines sell more on content than on the magazine branding.
I felt that the use of polaroids with the characters bursting out from the frame would be effective as it provides an even greater target audience, this is due to the magazine showing genre's other than horror which is a more male orientated genre. So by including stills and features for a action adventure or fantasy film, it is still in-keeping with the colour schemes for horror however it will have wider appeal.
The positioning of the price and issue number, which is a USP of the magazine is in a similar place than to Empire's issues meaning that this will be easy for the audience if they are looking for the price.
Also the idea of the male gaze links with the horror genre well, meaning that it will attract the young men at which the advertising is aimed at. This is because it is mostly 18-25 men who watch horror films, and therefore by including elements of the male gaze it makes my magazine cover more attractive for this.
