Mood board a range of film magazine covers - these can include any genre films but should include labelling of key features (title, headline, colour, cover lines, boost, etc.)
Task 2:
Research three different film magazine titles (e.g. Empire, Total Film, Premiere, etc.) - find a front cover for each and discuss the following:
- Distribution (where does it sell, who does it sell to, etc.)
- Cost
- Target audience (who is it aimed at, why, etc.)
- Style (words vs images, layout, regular features, cover stars, USPs, etc.)
Research genre-specific magazines and discuss the differences in look/style/distribution between these and more main-stream film magazines.
Task 4:
Discuss which magazine you are going to 'replicate' and why you've chosen to feature your film in that particular magazine, taking into consideration everything you will have researched above.
