Here are some examples of a film magazines promoting a horror film on the front. The typical convention seem to be that the main character, either the protagonist or the killer, are directly in the middle of the magazine. There are dark backgrounds on all of the covers, but one in which you cannot see the background, and a theme of the killer looking at the camera but the protagonist looking to the side of the camera seems to be common. Therefore, if I were to have the misogynist on the cover, he would have to be looking into the camera. However, it was the point of the film not to see the misogynist (perhaps until the end of the film) and so without darkening his face, there would be no reason to feature him as it would give too much away. Because of this, I have decided to use my main character for the cover, the protagonist looking scared, possessed, confused or trapped.
