[magazine] A2 Media Studies Max Payne Magazine Analysis
- 1. MASTHEAD – The title “Total Film” is bold. The words are sharp, crisp and stand out in the poster. This was used in conjunction with the weapons Max Payne’s holding. It represents him as a strong bold person. PRICE – The price on this magazine is relatively small to prevent customers looking elsewhere as the price is £3.90! If the price is large e.g. how Glamour set the price large then customers will go somewhere else!
- 2. COVER LINES – The cover lines are referencing to the film Max Payne as one cover line says “MOVIES MADE ME… KILL! ROB! CHANGE SEX!” which is fanatical. This might suggest that the magazine is aimed at fans who are serious about this type of genre. BAR CODE – The bar code is located at the front of the magazine on the bottom left side
- 3. MAIN IMAGE – A medium shot of Max Payne is the centre image of the magazine. The weapons he’s holding with the concentrated look represents the power he has. Dark scarf, dark clothing with the dark background represents a cold world he’s in. Almost telling the audience “be prepared for the worst”. Max Payne is being used as part of the misc-en-scene.
- 4. COLOUR SCHEME – The colour scheme is based on dark contrasting colours such as black and grey. This adheres with the shattered broken font of Max Payne representing the dangerous conspiracy location. The addition of snow represents the cold struggle.
- 5. SKYLINE – There is no special attraction on top of the magazine STRAPLINE – There is no bar of information that runs across the top of the page ANCHOR TEXT – The actor Simon Pegg and movie GI JOE is used at the bottom of the magazine to lure to read the article inside the magazine about them.
- 6. LAYOUT – The hierarchy of this magazine with the words Max Payne with the Total Film scrolling to the guns to the words Max Payne. This represents that this magazine aims at the more 16-30 male target audience. The gun sticking from the foreground shows the audience he will shoot you.
