Mise-en-scene analysis.

'The Reign' is an example of a magazine that uses an image to connote different interpretations. The actor used in this image is female which may instantly direct this magazine at females. However the actors costume could also direct the magazine towards males as her outfit is slightly provocative, showing skin with her shirt knotted, this could possibly connote her lack of innocence and confidence. Although, the actors outfit would not be deemed as inappropriate as most of her body is covered up.  The setting is in a studio against white seamless paper used in the studio. This plain effect benefits the front cover as a whole as it does not draw any attention away from the actor, cover-lines and masthead. Also, the use of a plain background also draws even more attention to the actor and text, making the information stand out and therefore engaging as well as attracting the reader to the text. 

More over, the lighting used in the image is subtle but enough to see the image clearly. This effect again  focuses on the actor, making her the centre of attention. Overall, I do not like the the look of the front cover as it looks too 'busy'. Many different styles of fonts have been used with a total of four different colors. I think that if the font styles and colors were toned down, it would look better.
