Filmmaker is an independent specialized magazine. The title is in front of the image making it standout which may be because the magazine isnt as wellknown. The masthead is very simple but ionic because of its unique style. Im not sure as to her the main image is of but she looks very simple and natural looking with minimal to no makeup on and her hair is tied back but still has a messy look to it. It looks like the lighting is coming from the side hitting the right side which is mainly showed because of the position of her head.

Overall you can tell that the magazine has a lower budget which suggest to the audience that the magazine concentrates ore on budgeted films.The magazine of independent film is put under the title to express that its not as mainstream which may appeal to certain people.The plain background makes all the information on the page standout and also the image. The plain and simplistic style of the magazine is reflected throughout and gives a indie style.
