The image adds a horror feel

through the un-natural non

human man. The knives as

fingers reinforce the horror

and add a dangerous

threatening feel.. The use of

props through creepy broken

dolls are conventional in

horrors and add a terror to

the image as loss of

innocence. The ripped chair

shows this man is out of

control. The eye contact also

builds tension as the

character is looking directly

at the audience, making

them scared.

The red color connotes

danger and is

conventional for

horrors.

The medium close up shot

adds to the atmosphere of

the magazine as you can

see more of the soundings.

The ripped and bold

affect of the font adds to

the dangerous sense.

The black edges of the

magazine adds to the

tension as you don’t

know what's going to

come out, the

unknown.

The title of the magazine is

being placed behind the

image showing the image is

the main focus and nothing

is going to get in the way of

this character. This connotes

power and control. It also

shows the magazine brand

is well known as audience

will still recognize it. The image connotes danger

straight away due to the eerie

amount of blood on her

clothes and in her hair. The

mysteriousness of the blood

connotes danger and

violence which could

anticipate was the film will be

like.

The fact there are no cell lines

or other things that are trying

to sell the magazine show that

this character has ‘scared’

everything off and doesn’t

need to be over crowded as

she alone will the sell the

magazine.

The fact the background

is completely black

connotes horror as the

danger of the unknown

creates mysterious

tension.

The cold tones of the

black, white, grey and

blue connotes a

ghostly feel. The red

bits of font connote the

danger horror aspect

even more

The evil stare of the

main character create an

intimidating atmosphere

to promote the horror

aspect to the film. His

look is very

stern, serious and angry

connoting the baddie in a

horror film.

The pale skin and

old fashioned style

is eye-catching and

mysterious along

with he grey

background.

The actors name is in bold

making it stand out as if

that is what is going to sell

the magazine, because

Johnny Depp is a well

known actor.
