Magazine Cover Analysis (3)

Entertainment Weekly Magazine is a Film and Television magazine. The image used here is interesting as the colours help to give a good flow to the magazine. Once again the title is placed behind the main image which is a good editing decision as it allows the audience upon first glance to see the main point now interest before anything else. The Blue is also good as it complements the yellow font, which is made even more powerful as the colour allows it to stand out, thus drawing the attention of the reader to their specific subject of choice. The main image is constructed well. The mid shot and body language shows intimacy between the characters and lead us to believe the most emphasised character is our protagonist (right) while the other plays a key role within the narrative of the piece.  We could also say that the character (left) could appeal to Laura Mulveys male gaze theory, to try and attract a broader male audience, while the same could be said for the protagonist (right) and women.
