To compare my film poster with a professional media product I am going to be using the poster for the film 'The Last House On The left'. I have chosen this professional media product for comparison because, like with my poster, the main image is of a house. Here is the Film Poster for "The Last House On The Left":

-
For Comparison purposes, I am going to be analysing Two main areas:
-
Denotation and layout: Comparing this poster to mine, they layout and denotation is is similar. The main image has the house centralised in conjunction of mine, however the image on 'The Last House On The Left' itself is a much longer shot than the image used on my poster. The other three objects on the page, the name of the film, credits and slogan are again in simlar positions to mine. the slogan and credits are centralised and positioned in the same place as on my poster. The title of the film is slightly different however purly because it is a much larger title.
-
The 'Last House On The Left' poster has two very apparent differences with my poster however; the first being there is no reviews on the poster and the second being no classsification logo. The creators have done this to make the house in the long shot image the complete focus of the page, attracting people to the title and slogan of the film.
-
Denotation: Due to this Film poster and my film poster being very similar, the connotations that each poster generate are simlar. Both slogans on the posters engage the cousmer on a personal level as one is a retorical question, asking the coustmer to ask themselves what they would do, and one engages the consumer directly, as the slogan is refering to 'you'. Furthermore, the connotations of the house shots in both posters is a sinsiter location, connoting the genre of the film as well as causing the consmer to ask themselves more questions about what goes on at that location, thus generating the apprehension that a poster is supposed to.

Film Magazine Front Cover
-
To compare my film Magazine front cover with a professional media product I am going to be using the Magazine front cover from 'Total Film' a famous professional film magazine. I have chosen this professional media product for comparison because is it the type of magazine front cover I was trying to emulate in the creation of my magazine front cover. Firstly, here is the front cover I have chosen to analyse:
-
-
Like with the analysis of the film posters, i am going to be looking at two main areas for comparison:
-
Denotation and layout: This magazine front cover, though it is centralised on a horror film, has quite a few differences to the layout and denotations as my magazine front cover. in comparison to my magazine front cover, this magazine is quite conventional. The first main difference is that this total film magazine front cover is much brighter, the prodominat colour being white while it being greys, blacks and reds on my magazine front cover. Another distinctive difference between the two is that my magazine as distinct font and object differences; for example, my magazine has two three dimentional starts in the bottom left corner and top right corner, which is somthing that this magazine for total film did not include.
-
some similarities between the two magazine front covers is that the title of the magazine is at the top of the magazine and underlapped by the images. furthermore, all other text and objects are leading down the right and left of the pages.
-
Connotation: Though the magazines in themselves are different, the connotations are very similar. This is because that magazine front covers are constructed to make the magazine eye catching and create shelf appeal. in terms of this, both magazines are effective because they have eye catching in different ways
