Film Magazine Analysis

Due to the nature of the genre of my film, a popular independent film magazine would be likely to host the promotion on its front cover.

After looking at "Little White Lies", I realised that this was not the magazine that would work well with my film due to its bizarre house style - little in the way of words and one distorted or manipulated image giving limited information away. (Example above).

Instead of using "Little White Lies", I will be using "Sight and Sound". After doing some research, S&S proved to be the right magazine audience-wise and also because they use simple images (of one person usually) on their covers, something which I plan on doing with my protagonist.

I see the above copy of S&S as a style model, I like the way Wes Anderson (in this case) is almost blending into the background - giving him a sense of modesty. I would like to do something similar to reinforce the fact that my film isn't trying to be something it's not, like a multi million pound production. This sense of modesty will also reinforce the fact it is supposed to be a film from the UK, and I would like that to come across without having to blatantly say the film is set and filmed in England. I believe this will be effective in its aim.
