Conventions of a Magazine Film Front Cover - Action

Conventions of an Action magazine Front Cover 

    

Although women are starting to be introduced on the front on film posters, usually on a magazine only one character appears and in many action film cases it is a strong, masculine and attractive male. This attracts the attention of both men and women for different reasons. Men as they will aspire to look and be like the male on the front cover therefore purchase the magazine whereas women are attracted to it as they like the idea of being with this man. Red, blue and white are typical colours used, these colours together connote heroism, which is also connoted through how the men are standing strong and making direct eye contact with the audience, making them feel more incline to purchase the magazine.
