The main character featured in
the "Dark Knight Rises" cover of this edition of Empire Magazine is
of course, Batman, the main hero in the film and a icon of characters
in the media. This helps the audience to immediately identify the film,
even without looking at the title of the film.
The main
character can be seen in the image wearing the icon Batman outfit and is
holding some sort of technologically advanced weapon, and for those who have
seen any films of the trilogy would know it would be some sort of awesome
gadget to look forward to. Weapons and furturisit gadget have become an icon of
Batman, as he doesnt have any powers like almost all of the other super hero's,
but needless to say, he popularity in the world of super hero's is undeniable.
Batman has a huge fan base and anyone that did not know the genre of the film,
or what the film is about are few and far between, even those that are not huge
fans of the franchise still know who Batman is and what he does. If for some
reason a member of the audience did not know what batman is or what genre the
film is, the fact Batman is in a costume and is aiming some sort of
weapon/gadget at something very much infers an action film.
The main
character in the image, Batman, is wearing the standard batman outfit and mask,
this is not surprise as its the most iconic thing about batman. The background
of the image however is different than most of the other Empire cover images.
The background image is just plain black image with some kind of lense flair
radiating around Batman. The lense flair illuminates Batman so that the audicne
can see the character clearly, as the background is the same colour as the
character. This also suggests the dark feeling to the film, that it is by no
means a happy film.
The
title of the film is in white, which makes it very visible to the audience and
makes it stand out from the rest of the image. The positioning of the name of
the film however is alot different that that from alot of other Empire covers.
This one is located in the bottom left of the cover, but most of the titles on
the empire covers are located close to the middle on the vertical center line.
This does have an impact on the cover as the title is not as in-your-face as
the other where it is located in the middle of the page, but that does not mean
that the title is not visible to the audience, because it is. The font used is
the same as that used for most of the Empire covers and is similar to the font
used in the Empire title at the top of the page. This helps to keep the page
looking clean and appealing.
Other
than the main image and title, there is not really much else in on the cover of
the magazine, this helps to attract the audiences attention to the main image
and the main name of the film, which is what you want if you are advertising a
film.
