Total Film Magazine VS Empire

When choosing what magazine I wanted my article to be in, the main two that stood out were Empire and Total film. Both of these film magazines are fairly similar as they include film reviews, cast interviews, 'exclusive information, product promotion and detailed descriptions of many locations which films are made.

Here are the deconstructed front covers of an issue of both total film and empire magazine. On first glance they both look very similar, the main image dominating the whole page and the image is the main focus which is anchored by the title of the film; Will Smith being the main actor in 'I am legend' and Keanu Reeves representing 'Constantine'.

 

On both the front covers they promise to provide you with unseen information as the words 'revealed' and 'exclusives' appear when talking about 'Hollywood secret weapons' suggesting Hollywood film stars and producers are to be exposed in Total Film and 'on set with every movie that matters this season' in Empire perhaps suggesting we are to get a 'behind the scenes' view of the films.
