Film Magazine Research

As part of our coursework we need to create a film magazine front cover. As part of the research for the film magazine we looked at film magazines such as "Total Film" and "Empire" as these are two of the most popular film magazines today, also the layout of these magazine front covers are interesting and attract a lot of attention for the films.

Total film magazine uses the conventional elements to create a layout which is relevent to the new film releases coming out. this film magazine cover shows this by having the magazine title like the different sets in the film inception. As well as this the background is also the same as part of the film in inception. by having Leonardo Decapro in the middle of the film magazine it also attracts the reader to the new film that is being released.

Empire is one of the biggest film magazines that is around, the large image of megan fox also makes the magazine cover stand out as the image is large and contrasts with the simple background. The magazine title is also big and bold so it is easy to establish what the magazine is called. This film magazine also has the conventional layout where it reveals the information about new films that are being released. Also for our film magazine we decided to use the colour scheme of red blue and white for our film magazine as we believe it represents the romcom element of our film.
