Researching types of horror posters, to decide on the style model for my magazine.

Firstly I have researched just the standard horror film magazine,

And after looking at several results, that google have shown me. I have decide on the style model 'Empire'. As empire are a well established and internationally recognised company. 

 (here is a screen shot of the results from my search onto the search engine google).

WIKIPEDIA SEARCH FOR BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

In common with most British film magazines, Empire is populist in both approach and coverage unlike less irreverent and more 'serious' magazines such as Sight & Sound. It reviews both mainstream films and art films, but feature articles concentrate on the former.

As well as film news, previews and reviews, Empire has some unique regular features. Each issue (with the exception of issues 108 – 113) features a Classic Scene, a transcript from a notable film scene. The first such classic scene to be featured was the "I could have been a contender" scene from On the Waterfront.

I have picked this particular magazine company to base my style model, as they specifically incorporate, and manipulate each magazine every month to have a specific and different style which links into the film in which they are portraying. As I have highlighted within my research. You can also see the unique attributes for each magazine cover, in the following images which I am using for a style model. 

Within these masterpieces, they can be deconstructed to show the unique qualities in which they portray.

For the first image, this being a cover for the film 'Tron Legacy', Empire have easily engaged the attention of the type of audience for the genre of film in which it is. To do this they have suited the style of the films genre with the colour scheme on the magazine. They have used a sci-fi neon blue to compensate with the fictional content of the film, to allow the audience to relate to the magazine, and therefore buy the magazine.  They have also shown off the main character of the film, so people can relate to the genre from the costume, but it can also make fans buy the magazine.

The second magazine, for the film 'twilight', has a dark and sensitive theme, to compensate for the fictional genre. And there is a distinct image of the main character of the film, as stardom from this actor creates more profit, and more likely hood that a fan will buy the magazine.

The final magazine shows off the stylistic feature of a sci-fi thriller called 'Hell boy'. This magazine uses a colour tone of red throughout the magazine. And therefore allows the sense of the films motif, fire. To com across greatly. I have chosen this final magazine to base my magazine on, as I love the way that Empire have used a texture on the main title of the magazine.
