We chose to have Oracle in a desert to emphasise the global nature of this war compared to the war in the previous film which was just in London. However, to further support his reason to be in a desert we placed and image of Dubai's skyline in the background to make it seem as if there is a major city in the background which is also one of Kronos' targets. Although the desert is not included in the trailer, it gives the audience something to look forward to when watching the film. We also included a sandstorm on our cover. This combined with the characters action of aiming his gun shows the audience that no matter where our group is in the world, there is always an imminent threat, which conforms with the conventions of our chosen genre, action. Although Oracle look as if he is isolated with no enemies around, he is still using his weapon. This shows that he is best suited to long range combat and prefers to contribute a distance so that he may use his portable tablet if necessary without any interference, which can be seen in the trailer when he is using the tablet in a fairly quiet part of the woods. This magazine cover follows the same template as the others with the character placed in front of the Empire logo but behind a slanted band which features the other magazine covers. It also includes sell lines such as "Meet Oracle" and "World First!" which are short and snappy to draw in the reader. We also have our tag line, "You think the war is over?" at the top as it is an iconic line in the trailer and is the first thing that Kronos says in his television broadcast. The colour scheme for this cover is yellow as it matches the desert environment which the character is situated in. We also added the issue date and price in £ and $ between the "M" and a barcode as accustom to Empire Magazine's covers.
