1. The scary mask that
takes up the entire
page signifies that
this is the villain In
the horror movie
and this will entice
people to come and
look at the
magazine.
The way this is written in
the big font and text
underneath the title are
there to scare readers
and urge them on to
open the magazine and
read it.
The dark red
background
signifies the blood
and that there will
be gore in the
movie.
The dark colours
illustrates that there
will be a lot of darkness
in this film and there
will be parts where
there will be dark
emotions and pain.
2. The title is big and bright
this will attract
audiences that are into
the action thriller genre
of film. This can also help
our film as if it is big and
bold it will attract our
audience and if we make
the font and colors
darker and creepier.
Similar movies and actors
scribed down the left section
of the cover this also tells the
audience what to expect
whether they like these actors
or not and a little description
of them.
Title of the film is important as it tells
the audience what to expect inside the
magazine, this can be implemented into
our cover if we make one.
3. The front picture
takes up the majority
of the magazine cover
which is good but the
background is black
so it will not interest
someone as it needs
to be related to the
movie such as a dark
red or something that
fits.
The font is good as and is a
good colour as but it is
concealed by the picture so
it has taken the effect away
from the title but as I have
said the font and colour is
good which gives it a good
horror feel about the cover.
4. The foggy background
scares the viewer as we
can see one figure
already in our face but
with the fog we have no
idea how many more
there could be. And
combining this aspect
with the title, the
uninvited is plural,
meaning there is more
than one intruder, but as
we don’t know the exact
number, it scares the
audience even more.
We can see this figure
right in front of us, but
it’s face is hidden. This
hides this persons face
and expression. Because
of this, we have no idea
of the figure's true
intentions. This
realisation is what scares
the viewers.
The border/frame of
the poster is depicted
as a window frame.
This can relate to the
average person as they
can visual being in the
same situation. With
an intruder at their
doorstep.
We can see the
panes of glass in the
frame have chilled
up with frost. Now in
most ghost films, this
happens when a
paranormal presence
is nearby. But
considering the
weather (foggy) this
could be
coincidence. And
because of this, the
audience has no real
idea if this film is
murder horror or
paranormal.
