Magazine Cover Influences

 Here are some influences we found when looking at different magazine covers.







































We want our main character, Ella, to be standing on the front our magazine covered in blood holding a balloon. We liked this magazine cover because it related to what we wanted to do and thought it looked really effective and creepy. However, the girl on the front is too close and for our magazine cover, we want our main character to be standing further away so you can see her whole body. We also want the background to be more interesting and the font to be less colourful to relate to the chosen genre of horror.


This is the second magazine cover we liked. We really like the idea of the girl standing in her night gown in the middle of the woods as we think it looks really scary and unusual. It also gives the audience an idea of what type of genre our film is or what it could possible be about. We also like the use of the rhetorical question underneath the film title "WHO IS MARIA SWEET?" we thought this was really effective and make the audience wonder about 'Maria Sweet' and what she has to do with the story and what her role is in the film. 







































The final magazine cover we looked at was 'Showreel'. Again, we like that the girl is the main subject of the cover. We love that the eyes are blacked out, making it look really creepy and disturbing so we are thinking of definitely using this effect for our magazine cover. We also like the use of the teddy bear as a prop because it shows how young the girl is, but then contrasts with her face as it's covered in blood. Finally, we like the colour scheme of this magazine. We think the colours go really well and relate to the clear genre of the film as the colours are quite dark and contrasting.
