Magazine Cover
For the main image on the magazine cover are the main characters that star in the film. Their facial expressions show that they look scared and anxious and they are positioned holding one another’s hand which gives us the impression that they are comforting each other as they are terrified. The movie titled is right in the middle and this is what will get the reader’s attention straight away. Also in a bold font using the colours black, red and white which we can relate back to the film poster, which shows what this movie represents. Other features such as the magazine’s title and sub heading “how a tiny $11,000 movie became a big, scary smash” tells us that this film has become really big at the cinema which will encourage more people to go and see it.
In this horror magazine front cover we immediately recognise the cover model which is popular mass murderer Jason, from horror film Friday The 13th. We don’t always recognise Jason from being the killer in the film, but what makes him with the use of costume and props. Here we see that he is wearing his famous white mask and has the terrifying machete which he uses on his victims. When making a villain for a horror film, they would need several things to make up their image and make them memorable to the audience. Also the main headline ‘Friday The 13th’ is used in a crooked, bold text in a red font which could signify blood or death. On the side we see other images, accompanied by sub headings. The images are mediums shots of characters from other horror films that feature inside the magazine. They look like they have been edited so a shadow effect has been used on their face which could suggest evil or mystery. For the magazines mass head we have the magazines name ‘SCREAM’ which is presented on a wooden sign and looks as it has be painted on but not very neatly. The wooden sign has also got blood splatter on it which is common in horror and adds more of an effect on the magazines overall cover and purpose of it being a horror magazine.
This magazine cover is of popular film magazine 'EMPIRE'
