Cover Image for Magazine

Hello!

Part of the ancillary task is to create a magazine cover in conjunction with the poster and film trailer. I have stated that I will be choosing Entertainment Weekly as the magazine which will feature my own film because they follow the genre of the main topic. In this case, the genre of my product is thriller/crime. To capture this genre for the magazine, I have taken pictures for my magazine cover and below I will be choosing the final cover image that is most suitable for this genre.

Firstly, I chose one of the 'suspicions' from the storyline to leave the audience question whether she is the true suspect of the crime.

The use of medium long shot and her hands gesturing as if she is handcuffed on this photo makes the character quite menacing and could possibly fit as the cover image of the magazine. The reason for not choosing this is because of the character looking too distant from the audience.










The low key and harsh lighting make the photo quite dark and the character less visible, hence, I will not be using this.

 

I have decided on this image as the soft lighting makes the character more visible compared to the previous photo.  This is the perfect camera shot as it is medium shot and enough for the audience to capture the model's menacing and suspicious gaze.
