Ancillary task- Magazine cover concepts


Empire Magazine: #173 (November 2003)

This cover captures violence which links to our theme although this may be a bit different to our style of music video as this is a film magazine cover. We would like something with a similar effect but using our protagonists as the main feature of the magazine. Also, we would choose appropriate colours and fonts to have a dramatic and personal effect.

 These two images from The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest film stills on the empire website express a similar feeling to what we are looking for. The angle shows this girl to appear frightened or nervous and on edge. If we used a similar idea, we would probably change the angle of the girl so she was side on and only showing one eye like the image below, which shows links to the title of our song. This still image definitely sets the right ambiance.

 This film still I found very interesting as you can see that the girl is deep in thought and doesn't look happy, she looks torn and down. However, I love the angle of both images, it really creates a perfect ambiance for what we are hoping to create ourselves. If we dont feature this in our digi-pack then I would love to use a shot inspired by this in our video.

 Here, I like the angle of her face and the way shes positioned herself to the camera as it portrays a very serious image and she looks quite serious and terrified. We would also like to feature this in our video because it would match our theme very well and would look quite good as one of our shots. Also, in this image we can only see one eye which is a brilliant angle to feature as one of our shots because it has strong links to 'Girl With One Eye'.
