From the basis of my own experience and the research I have conducted I have concluded which of my ideas to use for my magazine front cover.
My magazine representation
From my research I have chosen to represent “Empire”, this is due to personal interest however also because our film is focused on a mainstream audience which is essentially what Empire tends to focus on. I also like the codes and conventions used in Empire such as the catchy logo which appears on every issue and the same idea of a chosen film to be used as main imagery and the important article relating to it.
My Chosen Background
My chosen background may seem simple and there may seem to not be a lot going but after deciding to focus on Empire I have noticed a reoccurring pattern which is simply to use backgrounds which do not take the interest away from the main image. Empire tend to use a lot of dull patterns and smoky effects depending on the films codes and conventions. This is shown in my research for Empire Magazine. So I took onboard this idea and took a picture of the sky outside Weymouth College, this image of dark clouds show the codes and conventions of thriller by giving the emotion of danger and evil but also not taking the attention of the protagonist away.
My Chosen Main Picture
My chosen main imagery is of the protagonist. I decided this after researching into Empire Magazines; I concluded that Empires images consist of the main protagonist from which ever film they are focusing on. For example the Harry Potter 6 Empire edition had Harry Potter as the main image. So I have chosen this photo as it is of our main protagonist who has to attempt to uncover the mystery of the antagonist and find his female partner who he was doing the documentary with. This image shows his importance within the film and trailer as the camera is looking up at him, these codes and conventions also reveal that he is going to play a big part within my constructed magazine (most likely an interview) as he is used to grab my target audiences attention along with the recognised title/logo.
