Magazine anylisis (Shutter Island)

Here is a great example of a magazine cover for Shutter Island which is a neo noir film.




The image on this magazine cover looks very mysterious. We are given little indication as to who this character is although we can assume that he is the protagonist due to him being the only character on the cover. We can also see that he has a police badge and a gun showing that he is a detective, the clothes he wears (Suit and long coat) are often worn by detectives in noir and neo noir. The protagonist is surrounded by fog creating more mystery in the image which follows the themes of neo noir while also intriguing the audience.
