Magazine Covers
Within the two magazine covers above, both actors are presented in different ways. The role that Halle Berry takes part in is a strong character and so is the role that Christian Bale takes on. The difference is on the cover that Christian Bale is on, he is presented as the character he plays and on the cover that Halle Berry is on, she is presented as an actress. I beleive that when a women is on the front of a magazine cover promoting a film, sex appeal is usually used to attract audiences. Looking at the dark knight cover, Chrisitan Bale is his character that he plays. As seen from the above examples, it is clear that magazines user men and women in very different ways to attract their audiences.
Horror Posters
Both of the horror posters above have many simliraities. Both of the posters have women as the main or central image and they also have a glow around them. This could suggest some kind of purity, specifically for the women holding the child in the orphanage posters. Looking at both posters, the impression of the unknown is given. I came to this thought as on the Eden Lake poster there are figures in the background approaching the women and on the Orphanage poster, there are arms reaching for the women coming from behind the curtains. I think both posters are effective in inticing the audience and give elements as to what the films are about or what could be about and at the same time do not give too much away.
