I have analysed several film trailers as well as film posters and now I have a clearer idea of the film I am going to make, I can analyse magazine covers which will fit my film.
Since my film is going to be semi-independent I don't want to analyse anything from Total Film or Empire. Instead I want to look at magazines such as Variety, Little White Lies and maybe the Hollywood reporter.
Though Variety and The Hollywood Reporter aren't film magazines they will occasionally focus on actors or directors and since my film has two main characters they are useful to look at since they'll put several people onto one cover. Little White Lies is also interesting since they focus on semi-independent films which are still popular yet they use art styles. This would be fairly easy for me to interpret into my own ideas since I do art. However Little White Lies don't show two people together, so instead I could focus the cover on one of my main actors.
I'm not sure which magazine I want to use as my primary inspiration so this is why I'll look at several. If I still don't decide I may make two magazine covers and chose one that I like the best.
