Film Magazine research

For my project in media i have had to create a horror film trailer, i also need to include a magazine for my film idea. To get any idea of what i need to include on my film magazine i have gathered information on two world famous film magazines 'Empire magazine' and 'Total Film magazine'.

This is the latest edition of Empire.

• I really like the bold Masthead and the colour it is in it stands out extremely well.
• I also like how there is little text around the front page this helps the main image stand out better.

                                                    

                                                         This is Total Films latest magazine.



Here is a list of other interesting film magazines i found.

    

          

• When considering my front cover for my film magazine i must include my film as the main image.
• I have decided to have the stalker as the sole image on the front cover. I will either have a long shot or a close up of the killers mask.
• The background i am choosing will be dark either pitch black or i will take the image in my attic or another ill lighted area of my home.
•  The Magazines name which is yet undecided will be underneath the main image but will be a primary colour standing out.
• I will have other new and upcoming films arounf the front page this is to give the audience the feel that it is a real magazine.
