Kill Bill Magazine

• The magazine cover is similar to the DVD case, in the way that ‘The Bride’ is holding a sword, creating synergy. The sword may suggest that she is protected indicating her dominant persona.

• ‘The Bride’ is standing in the middle of the page and almost as tall as the page, suggesting that she is significant.

• The character is wearing yellow, making her stand out, particularly with the white background, which looks plain but highlighted with the outfit brightening the front cover and making her look confident.

• There is blood through the title, which looks like a sword has gone through it, indicating a reference to the synopsis.

• There is also blood located around the front cover, signifying parts of the storyline.

• The colours of the title are black and red which are iconographic colours of death.

• The woman is looking down slightly, signifying that she is dominant; this is also signified as she is dressed provocatively, accumulating the idea that she is superior, such as her top being slightly undone, and tight clothing.

• The names of the actors are highlighted in red above the title of the film which may entice people in if they are familiar with the actors.

• The sword and the costume indicates the action genre.

• 'The Bride’s' facial expression is blank and is looking straight at the audience indicating a serious and inquisitive sense.

• The character's posture looks laid back, as one arm is behind her back making her seem as though she is slouching. She also looks ready for action as her other arm is in front of her body with the sword, and her stance makes it seem as though she is about to move.

• I have notified permeable conventions of magazines and have figured these main features:

1. Bold masthead- The 'Empire' logo is a recognizable symbol. It is tall and bold, The red is a bright colour that can be noticed.
2. Subtitles/slogan – ''It's bloody genius! And we've got the full gory story!''. This is a catchy slogan and will draw people in, if they want to check the story line before watching the film.
3. Something to draw the audience in- For example ''196 pages'' or fifty top movie moments.
4. USP(Unique Selling Points) – such as in this case the free gift ''The UK's best DVD mag free inside'
