Colour Code:Red, black and white was the colour code I wished to use as they are your stereotypical horror genre colours. They connote many horror themes like blood, death and anger etc. This also links with my magazine as it also uses a similar colour code.

Skyline:I used the stereotypical skyline to tell the audience, what other movies the creators of this movie has made. This creates appeal to the audience as if they liked the purge they will like this movie also.

Star appeal: I put the main stars appearing in the movie at the top of the page. By showing the stars it will interest the audience, as they will therefore base the movie on how good the actors are.

Slogan: By using the movies slogan on the page creates continuity through your media products as the slogan will be used in the trailer and any other promotion for the movie. This helps create a brand to the movie.

Main image: the main image stereotypically displays the protagonist of the movie. However with the use of superimposition, (the scratches in front of the image) you can’t fully see the protagonists face which creates enigma, still not fully showing who the protagonist is. The scratches also keep continuity with the trailer and magazine as it displays the killers signature weapon.

Masthead: the masthead has to be iconic as the typography will become its own font and brand. The typography very much fits the horror genre and also advertises blood splatters, to emphasise the genre.

Release Date: as this is the final poster, it displays the final official release date. The release date is Halloween, which is its own unique selling point as by it coming out on Halloween indicates it will be very scary.

Website: By advertising a website it allows the audience the research more into the film if they are interested it also can show us how many people are interested in the movie.

Credits: The credits, give the audience the institutional information on the movie. It gives them information or who is staring in the movie, the institution, the directors, producers etc.

Main Image: the image is of my protagonist links to my poster and trailer, which creates simple continuity throughout all my media pieces. That is why the costume and props (knife) is very crucial. This is a niche magazine therefore it was not as important using a studio to take the images, however the lighting still came out really well.

Skyline: I used a skyline to give some information to the audience which will appeal to them making them want to buy the magazine.

Colour Code: I used red, black, white and yellow and they are all your conventional horror colours as they have many connotations of themes like death, blood, danger, warning etc.

Masthead: The masthead does not use superimposition as this is a niche movie therefore if the writing was behind the audience would not know what the name of the magazine was.

Issue Date: Gives the audience a date in order to collect the magazines etc.

Sell lines: a colloquial register used, in order to appeal to audience. Sell lines simply give the audience an understanding of what is in the magazine.

Tagline: the main tagline uses anchorage as it links with the image and also shows audience what is the main article in the magazine.

Barcode:

Unique Selling Point: Telling the audience they can win something or get something for free will become an incentive making them want to buy it.
