Character that has direct eye contact, which helps build a rela8onship with the audience because they would be familiar with the character. Limited colours, there are not too much colours in mine and other magazine front covers.

- 6. What did I repeat?-‐ magazine What is Repeated My group’s magazine Exis8ng magazine Words that encourages the audience to buy the magazine, such as ‘plus’ and ‘exclusive’. These words are important in a magazine front cover as it gets the audience excited about what it magazine contains. Image is at the centre, where the audience would pay aBen8on the most. The image is the most important feature that the audiences actually focus on and sums up the magazine front cover.
- 7. What did I vary? -‐ magazine What is varied My group’s magazine Exis8ng magazine There are no shapes used in my group’s magazine unlike exis8ng magazine front covers. There are shapes, such as arrows and rectangles, used in a different. In my group’s magazine, there are text that involves other things as well, such as celebri8es and food, which makes the audience want to buy the magazine because it involves other things that could interest them. This also does not limit the target audience because there are a variety of things that different age group can be interested, for example young teenagers would be interested in celebri8es and adults would be interested in cooking.
- 8. What did I vary? -‐ magazine What is varied My group’s magazine Exis8ng magazine A line of text is used above the magazine 8tle but in my group's magazine, there is a bunch of text. Even though it is above the 8tle, it makes the audience less likely to read it because it is not short and catchy. The text size in exis8ng magazine varies but in my group’s magazine it does not, so it is all in the same size. This makes all of the text equally important. The only image on my group’s magazine is the killer but some magazines have different images at the boBom, which is a good idea because there is more informa8on.

- 15. Codes and Conven8ons of horror magazines Character is wearing black, which makes the magazine appear more horrific. In typical magazine covers, the main character does not wearing bright colours, instead they wear dull colours, for instance black. Background is dull and dark, which are conven8ons of horror. Language used, for example, ‘a modern classic horror re-‐vamped’, gives the magazine a tense and horrifying atmosphere. The colour red, used in the 8tle, connotes danger and blood. Entertainment magazine has other 8tle colours, such as yellow, blue and white but red gives a horrified atmosphere and is the most suitable colour for a magazine front cover promo8ng a horror film.
- 16. Codes and Conven8ons of horror magazines The main character has blood on her face, which is a conven8on of horror, as blood implies someone has been hurt. This would scare the audience and will be persuaded to watch the film. The text under the film’s name is also in the trailer and portrays the theme of pain. This would persuade the audience to watch the film. The touch of blue, white and black in the background creates a mysterious and scary atmosphere as it is similar to the sky at night. This atmosphere makes the audience think something dangerous will happen in the film and they would want to know what is going on. Plot & stock situa8ons The text implies that the mother is likely to be the killer because her pain is too much. The words ‘who will bare the pain’, suggests the killer’s pain is too much that she will do whatever she can for her pain to go, including killing people. This would scare the audience because they do not now what the killer can and cannot do, which persuades people to watch the film as they want to know.
