2. Research of similiar trailers, posters and film magazines from your genre, style, chosen audience

Empire Magazine

Sin City: stunning graphics, dark narrative, amazing SFX and epic dialogue...only in a Tarrintino film. This cover has taken images from the film and imported them onto the Empire backgrond. It uses a simple range of colours, bold & breath-taking; the layout reflects the essence of the film.


Dark Knight: outstanding performances, big explosions & deep voices.



1. Describe the audience of Empire Magazine. Would you say that it appeals to a niche or mainstream audience?
2. Research who owns and runs Empire & how many magazines it sells per year.
2. How does the font and text of Joker draw upon the key themes in the film?
3. Comment on the colours that have been used in the Joker cover.
4. Why does Sin City have a movie strip at the bottom? What's the purpose of this?
5. Why do the images in both front covers overlap the magazine title?
6. Which magazine cover do you think is the most effective stylistically and why?
