Film Magazine Ideas

The first thing our group had to work on and decide was to make up a name for our magazine that our film would be featured on. We could have used a film magazine that is already out such as 'Empire' or 'Total Film' however we wanted to come up with our own and make it individual. Magazine covers advertise the newest films and important features. They are a good way of attracting an audience and educating them on upcoming films.

We brainstormed various magazine name possibilities. They d
o not necessarily directly link to styles of films however we did our research and many film magazines do not.

These are the last names we had to decide from:
1) Snap!
2) Media

3) Action

4) Report

5) Angle

We decided as a group that 'Report' would be th
e best one to include as we are reporting about films to the audience and it sounds the catchiest. it's not long or completed, it's short, straight to the point and easy to remember.

We had to decide on how to present the title with a font and size that would catch the audience's eyes and this is the final design we came up with after trying out so many possibilities.
We chose to colour in the letter 'R' in red to add a bit of colour and fun to it otherwise the title would have been just plain black. Also from looking at conventions of Film Magazine covers, we know that a theme of colours runs through. Ours will be red black yellow and white.

Also, the letter 'R' could also stand for alot of other meanings such as:

ReportReview
Rate


this would all be included in the magazine which is another reason why we chose to make it stand out. We needed a logo to go along with the title and it wasn't hard to find one because we searched on google and found this one straight away. we felt we needed a logo because other film magazine have one also it needs to be reconized around the world but the public and this logo seems perfect for the job!

This is very steortypical object to do with film however we did want to keep it simple and easy and reconizable.
