Research and Planning: Film Magazine analysis

This Empire magazine is not a horror based magazine however the way they have structured the magazine could be very useful when myself and Kyle come to do our magazine for our horror film. The image that has been used on the front of the magazine Batman could be simply exchanged with a horror picture from our film and then the rest of the layout would fit perfectly with the horror genre. They follow the use of the three colour rule which in this case is black, blue and white and seeing the three colour rule on professional magazines like this means that this is something we will definitely consider when coming to doing our magazine. Some of the features that are used on this film magazine that we will incorporate into our magazine are that they all have a masthead at the top of the page usually, barcode, tagline, images and a film title that the magazine is promoting for this certain issue.
