Magazine Cover Conventions

• A film magazine purely covers the film industry and is usually skewed towards both men and women rather than one target market.

• The main image shows the main character from an upcoming/ current film often in costume and looking directly into the camera.

• The name of the film or the actor is often credited in the anchorage text.

• The background colours & fonts are usually darker and more striking.

• They include official film reviews and interviews with the cast & crew of the current films.

• The point is to promote the new films and inform the film amateurs on the details they want to know.
