Research and Planning: Magazine Analysis

Due to the Genre that I am doing for my film trailer, there isn't many UK Crime film magazine covers out there, so I am doing crime films in general and will talk about how my genre will be different.
Banner- The banner is just highlight a story that I will be featured in the magazine and that they want you to see so that you will be interested in buying the magazine.
Masthead- The masthead is to grab your attention so you are drawn into looking at the magazine closer.  The reason for making it so big on most magazines is to grab your attention an making you want to pick it up.
Cover Lines- Cover lines are placed on the right hand side so you can see in this case who the hero's will be of 2010.
The main image is a medium close up of the main articular of the magazine.
This is a magazine follows the 3 colour rule again because it works in all areas of different magazines including film magazines   
The bar code is something that is standard on all magazines.
