Magazine Cover Picture Analysis

I think that this picture would be the most suited to our magazine cover, as it uses a theme that is apparent in other film magazines. It shows the the actress in character, but in almost a personal picture, this is apparent in an earlier magazine cover that i analysed with brad Pitt playing Lt Aldo Raine, he is looking directly at the camera in an intimidating pose with a weapon.
This allows the genre to be shown with the gun on show and also shows off our female lead who can attract a male audience.
This may not be a traditional pose for a female character to pull, but it may just intrigue the reader enough to want to read more or even watch the film itself. Being in Black and white it allows the possibility of dark content, it also adds an air of mystery and with the time frame being unclear she is wearing a hat and holding a gun which are the only two clear props on screen.
This poster is using a clear method of attracting a male audience with the use of a female lead and violence and there is a possibility of being attracted by the mystery of the content, why is it in black and white, why is she wearing the hat, why is she holding the gun and why is she pulling that face?.
