1. Analysis of a Film
Magazine Cover: Total
Film
By Sam Burgess

2. The film Man of Steel
is the focus of this
issue of Total Film.
Henry Cavill as Superman
and Amy Adams as Lois
Lane take up most of the
cover. The actors are sized
this large as they are used to
draw in the reader. If an
audience recognise the pair
they are likely to go over and
pick up the magazine.
The title of the movie: Man of
Steel is placed in the centre
of the cover. As well as the
centre it’s been out into the
foreground. It’s the biggest
sized font (other than the title
of the magazine). Also the
title is written in a 'steel font',
reflects the name of the film.

3. The title of the magazine
(Total Film) is located in it’s
usual place at the top of the
cover. White magazine title
font, contrasting with dark
grey background.
“100 greatest heroes and
villains ever!”. This list is a
technique used to bring in a
reader.
The cover includes a
buzzword, this time being
"PLUS!“ which is in a red bold
font. It stands out over the
other text due to the colour.
It is there to highlight features
inside the magazine.
