The flat plan of our magazine cover includes aspects that we chose to include on the official poster. This means that there were little changes made to the poster.
As you can see the positioning of the title of the film and it’s tagline are identical, both in colour and positioning. The barcode remains on the left hand side of the magazine cover, as this is an important convention of the magazine which will allow the magazine to be sold in stores. I believe this is the way that most magazines position the bar code as a way for it not to take up to much space on the cover and to allow space for any of the posters text. Along with this, the plugs and teasers have remained in the original positions as on the flat plan, as this is also a conventional position for them to be place. I was able to identify this by analysing magazine covers.
The plug gives the audience more information on the content of the magazine and therefore is an important method of attracting the potential reader in. Ours talk about the actress and a special interview , in this interview her fears will be spoken about. Fears are known as a result of the unknown, and with our film having elements of supernatural forces it has close links with the Horror genre.
With the use of an interview about the actresses fear we allow our audience in, and they are able to see the strong contrast between the frightening character Lilith Woods and the actress that plays her Dawn Gallant.
Conventionally however on some magazine covers the actors name appears on the magazine cover, however Empire magazine lists the character on its front cover. We chose to subvert this convention used by Empire magazine as we wanted to give the audience an opportunity to get to know, the actress and not the character because that may have spoiled the narrative that we had created.
The subtitles have remained in the same position along with the texts that further explain the titles. The reason a lot of the conventional elements have remained in the same position are because this will ensure that the magazine comes out as accurately as possible.
The main image on the flat plan was originally drawn inaccurately, now you can identify the costume make up along with the mise-en-scene as it is now a real image.
The masthead of the magazine has been altered slightly in regards to the fake blood splatter. Instead of it being placed on the end of the masthead of ‘EMPIRE’ it has now been placed on top of the ‘M’. With the inclusion of blood splatter on the masthead, this is a way to show the audience that this particular issue of the magazine is related to the Horror genre.
