American Cinematographer Magazine Front Cover - Analysis

Below is the cover of American Cinematographer. It focuses on the art of cinematography covering domestic and foreign productions, short films, music videos and commercials. The unusual font immediately suggests to audiences that the films discussed in American Cinematographer, may be lower budgeted and independent films rather than heavily marketed known films. The star n the cover is not an A list actor and to the majority of audiences is unrecognisable as well as the film mentioned.
