Different types of magazine front overs
A character in costume magazine cover
This type of magazine is particularly good for making the audience recognise the characters in order to relate to the film that they are advertising. We felt this would be more suitable for our film as we would be able to create an atmosphere of horror by using an iconic character from our trailer.

Actor/Actress magazine front cover
This particular magazine shows off the actor/actress' as themselves rather than who they are in the film they're advertising. We didn't like this type as much due to the idea of trying to maintain the horror genre throughout our work.

A poster magazine front cover
By using the poster as the magazine cover makes the audience recognise more what film they're advertising. This is an option for us as we feel that by doing so the audience would begin to have more of an iconic image of our trailer - however, it would prevent us from becoming less creative.

A still image magazine front cover
A still image from the film placed on the magazine gives the audience a preview of what is to come, it also gives an idea of the genre of film due to their costumes and the mise-en-scene. We are considering this for our magazine as it would create an atmosphere of our trailer.
