Analysing "Empire" magazine front cover.

On the left is the famous film magazine " Empire", the film being advertised on the front is a new Drama/action called "Green Zone".

If the audience was already familiar with the film green zone then this unique colour scheme may attract the audiences eye, however if the audience wasn't so familiar then this cover would immediately connote the name of the film ( having green all over the cover) but would also portray the genre of action in the film. Having Matt Damon's face on the front also advertises this film as he is a well known sucessfull actor which may promt people to see the film as famous actors are often an attraction to the audience.

The Colours also make a diffrence as they differ from the usual red that the "Empire" title usually sits in. This would catch the audiences eye as it may show the film in a diffrent light, as though the diffrent flouresent colours say something about the film itself. The way Matt Damon has been positioned center with a weapon in his hand is conventional as this dare devil action man fits the part he plays in green zone, the way he is portrayed on the front with weapon in hand walking towards the camera portrays him as the character that the audience are familiar with which is also a huge attraction.
