Scream 4 magazine cover analysis
This issue of the magazine gives the date down to the day,
which suggests that the magazine is, released weekly, that and the fact that
the magazine is called entertainment weekly. There is no price given on the
front of the magazine which would suggest it is quite pricey, connoting
quality. Furthermore there is no web address or method of finding out more print
on the cover suggesting Entertainment weekly isn’t multimedia, or that
everything you need to know or want to know is included in the issue. There is
no tag line which implies that everything is said by the central image, which
shows us clearly that the point of the magazine cover is to advertise and promote
Scream 4. The cover uses well known celebrity names (connected with the film)
as a persuasive technique to get the audience interested in buying the
magazine. The masthead is white and stands out as the most important
information on the page, as it is bigger and bolder then the other writing on
the page. Above the masthead other articles are advertised, they showcase very
different stories and so attract the audience by showing the diversity of the
magazine, they are separated from each other by different fonts to make the
information more assessable.
The main article’s information is a lot bigger than that of the article above and features next to its associating image. The text uses words such as ‘bloody’ and the ‘battle’ which associates with the genre attracting fans of horror.
The colour scheme is black, white and red, very traditional colours linking to the genre. This dangerous blood red inhabits the background connoting with all these scary things. The only image on the page is the figure dressed in black robes with the scar face mask on. This image heavily relates with the film which is known for its villains all taking on this same appearance. The audience’s attention will be attracted by the familiar face (or mask) that is the symbol for the well-known film franchise.
There are no other images on the page to distract from the main image representing the key article.
