Film Magazine Cover First Draft

Here is the first draft of my poster which I hope to gain feedback for and improve later on.
For this piece I kept the black background to link it to the poster, despite this not being a conventional idea. I still used the colour scheme of black, red and white for continuity and used similar fonts for the coverline as the poster. The positioning of all of the text and image is similar to that of any other magazine front cover and I used many of the conventional features. The logo for 'Instinct' has been kept the same as I feel it tells a lot about the genre of the film and is recognisable when seen in the poster and teaser trailer. I believe the red and white font stands out very boldy against the dramatically dark background and the font of the title is befitting for a film magazine. I am pleased with this first draft, but still believe it needs to be altered as in comparison with existing film magazine front covers, it isn't as effective or attention-grabbing.
