Research and Planning - Sight and sound magazine(British)

Sight and sound is a British magazine, funded by the BFI (British Film Institution). This would be a relevant magazine to do a front cover for our film, as we are aiming to produce a low budget British drama. Therefore we will also be pitching our film to our target audience and would get an honest review.

Research and Planning - Total Film Magazine

Total Films front covers are similar to Empire's, in the way that they regularly keep a template in which they edit every month. Also in a similar fashion to Empire, Total Film change there title in order to continue a theme from the film being advertised. On the other hand, they don't tend to be as intricate as Empire's, tending to only change the colour of the title in order to make it more visible. The only example of a theme is the Terminator with the red title and other red text at the bottom of the page.

Research and Planning - Empire Magazine

Empire magazine publishes a magazine each month. It often has a standard template in which they use. However it is not uncommon for them to change it in order to match the colour scheme also making the front cover more effective. For example in the mood board below the magazines front cover edition of The Dark Knight.

Research and Planning - Film magazine research.

• I have looked into film magazines through the use of google, and discovered that there is very few British magazines which focus on niche market films, such as our own. However, i did find that there is a British magazine which is made by the BFI (British Film Institution) called Sight and sound.
•  On the other hand there is also international film magazines. With the worlds leading magazine being Empire.
• Another example would be the magazine Total Film. They are also operating on a global scale and are competitors with Empire. However, Total film doesnt just focus on magazines it also has trailers and other news about films on its website.
