Product Research - Film Magazine Analysis

In order to produce  two  of my ancillary  tasks : a front cover of a film magazine and  a film poster for my  teaser trailer i had to do some product research on both  mainstream and independent film magazines and  film posters  that will help  me gain an understanding of  how to layout my own when i produce it. I decided to look at   two of the most famous  mainstream film magazines ' Empire Magazine' and  'Total Films' and did some analysis on the front covers.
