Research; existing products

Before starting production, I decided to research some of the existing products out there which will incidently be the competion. What follows will be the products that have shaped and influcenced my decison making;

 This is the cover of Empire magazine, one of the biggest film reviewing magazines in the world. It is one of the more tamed covers as opposed to the dinamic covers they usually use. I love the medium close up they used here with the characters in costume, promoting the new Star Trek film. I think the simplistic look of the cover works in context with the genre of the sci-fi film which I think would work well with the idea of a medium close up of the star of my trailer.

On the other hand, the Total Film magazine cover is much more dynamic that Empire which I

like. The way they make Tom Cruise pop from the cover by busting and bleeding thje pictures and headers together is very effective. The layout is more centrulised which I like as well in a layout as the eye is automatically drawn to the centre. The thing which I would like to include when it comes to shooting the cover is props. I like the idea of including a prop from the film on the cover with the star.
