Having evaluated EMPIRE magazines in depth I decided to look at a different magazine: Entertainment Weekly. I did this in order to compare the shots used in the magazine instead of the content of the article.
Although this film has not yet been released I decided to look at the new film directed by Guy Ritchie. The two shots I found online from Entertainment Weekly were both obviously from photoshoots and most of the ones that I could find display the main character instead of any of the others such as the villain or the mysterious sorceress shown in the trailer. This I thought was key as the audience obviously require images of the main character more than the other characters. This is useful regarding my magazine article I will be producing as it means that I should perhaps focus more on the main character than the others. One thing that seems to be evident in the photos taken for Entertainment Weekly is that they are (like fantasy film posters) colour coded to be more greys and blues than bright colours. This I will definitely take into account for not only my film poster but also for my magazine article for colour coding the photoshoots with filters that are more grey or dull in tone.
