By Midnight magazine cover

This is the magazine cover for my trailer 'By Midnight'. I also chose the colours red and white for my cover so it fitted in with my poster and trailer. I chose to name my magazine 'Action' because it is associated with film and the production side to it. I thought this would be a good title for a movie magazine and is short and snappy and easily recognisable by an audience.

I followed typical forms and conventions when making my magazine cover because I thought this would make it look more realistic and professional. I put a barcode and price on the bottom of the cover, this is the same as other magazine covers I have looked at. I included a banner on my magazine cover featuring other films, most magazines do this because it appeals to a wider demographic. I used buzz words such as 'Exclusive' and 'Plus' to entice the audience and make it look more realistic.

I turned the main image black and white so it would fit in with the rest of the magazine cover and work as a contrast to the coloured text.
