Sweeney Todd magazine cover analysis
The date on the cover makes it clear that the magazine is a
weekly release as the release date is given to the day. Furthermore the fact
that the magazine is called ‘Entertainment Weekly’ can make us pretty sure that
it is a weekly affair.
The price is not displayed on the page, suggesting it is dear, so implying the magazine is of good quality.
The familiar face and name of an A list celebrity is used as a persuasive technique to get people to buy the magazine. The phrase ‘the inside scoop’ suggests that you can only find out information from this magazine, about the article in question, therefore if you don’t buy the magazine you will be missing out.
The mast head is big and bold in blue, which stays within the colour scheme but still stands out as the most important piece of text. The next biggest writing states that the magazine features inside information about 39 new films, this will really attract, information hungry film fans. The magazine uses film jargon to show film fans that they know a lot about film.
The colour scheme is cold with splashes of red connoting danger, blood and gore, which links in with the well-known story of Sweeney Todd. The main image is of the character played by Johnny Depp (Sweeney Todd), he looks into the audience’s eyes from out of the page and wears a scowl on his face which coupled with his white face and blackened eyes makes him look sinister and like our villain. His hair is wild and black which matches his overall shabby appearance.
Again there are no other images on the page to distract from the main image.
