Sream Magazine Front Cover Analysis



Masthead
The masthead to the ‘Scream’ magazine is positioned at the top of the page. The font of the masthead is in bright red and the boldest point on the page, this masthead links with the theme of horror as it looks like blood as there are drips coming off each individual letter.
Image
The image used here is a head and shoulder shot of a man which we believe to be a character from the film ‘Hatchet Horror. The man has an axe covering the bottom half of his face, suggesting he has something to hide. The image of the man is also looking directly at the audience even though he does not have pupils. Around the main image there is other pictures of characters which are in other movies that the magazine is talking about, however these images are not as eye catching as the main image.

Language
The language that is used is short but snappy, drawing the audience in but not giving too much away. The language used in the tag line links with the title of the magazine front cover and it has a linked blood theme.
