I have chosen to analyse this magazine film cover which is advertising, 'The Golden Compass'. There are aspects on this cover that I am thinking of using for my own.
The first feature I was inpired by was the camera angle which is an over the shoulder shot- I like how the girl looks, 'stuck in the middle' of the two other characters. I think this can represent a number of things such as how she is feeling, maybe under pressure or doesn't know what to do. This is also shown by the facial expressions used, as she looks quite shocked and surprised. I think if I chose to use a camera angle similar to this it would also show how the 'bride' feels stuck in the middle of her friends.
I dont like the big compass used at the top of the page- I think this looks to much and makes the page look to busy. With the title already including, 'Compass', and the girl in the middle holding a compass I dont think the big one is needed.
I do think the way the editors have used an image over the last 'E' in 'Empire' looks effective as it shows thet are confident people will recognise their magazine.
Lastly, I like the fact there isnt too much writing on the cover, so the main focus is actually the image. Although, I think less writing looks better on covers I do think there should be a hint or clue to what will happen in the film to entice to viewer.
