Research: Action Magazine cover; Man of Steel

Man of Steel magazine cover                           
Being on the cover of a magazine that is based around film reviews and news is really good publicity because it sets the film above the others in the issue, as this is a monthly magazine it is all the more impressive. The low angle shot makes superman look superior. That, his attire and body language present him as manly. This attracts the female audience, furthermore by making him look undefeatable attracts audience who like action and combat by interesting them into seeing superman put through his paces and challenged. The setting shows destruction which suggests that there is a lot of action, this will again reach out to the target audience. The cover doesn't have much going on, there only features are the masthead and a few cover lines. This draws attention to the main picture making it look like the only important thing on the page
