Analysis Of Dark Knight Magazine Front Cover


Empire magazine has used a picture of the Joker as their main image. It is a long shot of him sitting down, Empire magazine usualy uses long shots for the front page so you can see the full costume, hair and make-up, and so this gives the audience an immediate representation of the character.

The image is centred in the middle of the page which signifies its importance, which is a marketing technique. The character cover the 'Empire' writing at the front which also highlights the films importance.
The joker is sitting down upright with his head tilted dowmwards looking straight at the camera, this makes the audience feel intimidated almost as if the character is watching.

The costume which is purple and green is complimented by the puffs around the image which are also the same colours. The puffs on the left side show what other things are inside the magazine such as other films like 'I am legend'. The main tagline is 'Joker' which is obviously the name of the character in the picture. Underneath says 'one-on-one with Batmans new nemesis' showing that there is an interview with Batmans enemy.

The logo from batman, which is also presented in the poster is shown on the magazine at the top of the page. Around the logo it s says the title of the film 'Dark Knight' and on the other side 'World Exclusive' representing that the film is Universal.
