5 potential names for magazine

Below I have come up with five potential names for my film magazine, which I think will be appropriate. I have also written a small paragraph besides this, talking about why I chose this name, what it suggests and how it is suitable for the type of publication which my magazine will be. My magazine publication will be similar to Empire, this mainly focuses on mainstream Hollywood blockbusters.

Potential names:

1) Frame

The name 'Frame' encapsulates exactly what a film is; a series of frames. However, this structure links to films from all publications not just mainstream Hollywood blockbusters. Although, it also targets all audiences, who are into Horror films. 

2) Rise in motion

This is a good potential name for a film magazine, as it conveys how audiences are increasingly receptive to films made in all parts of the world. The audience for this magazine is the vast worldwide audience for the Hollywood movie industry. Even in non-English speaking countries, Hollywood films are popular with audiences because of the advance in both dubbing and subtitles 

3) Panorama Focus 
The word 'panorama' symbolises an unfolding of events. Therefore, this would be an effective magazine title for Horror genres in particular, as they are usually action packed, eventful and constantly keep the audience on edge. Likewise, the word panorama is associated with mainstream films.   

4) Cinema today
This name automatically links to Hollywood mainstream films. This is due to the magazine showing an appeal to top rated movies, of all genres, which appear in cinemas. Additionally, all genres of films are shown in the cinema, so the magazine is guaranteed to include Horror films. 

5) Screening 
This implies mainstream Hollywood blockbusters as it suggests how the most popular films chosen by audiences are the ones which will be placed in the magazine. However, some audiences may argue that often comedies and action films are screened the most, over other genres such as Horror.

Poster analysis introduction

I am going to conduct research and analysis towards the conventions of film posters. I have looked at five different posters from a variety of genres, in order to see if there are similarities within the conventions. This will help my understanding of the depth in film posters, thus benefitting me when I am making my own.  Below are the five posters, each of different genres, which I chose to analyse the conventions of: 1) La La Land  2) Spider Man  3) Insidious 2  4) Hangover 2  5) The Notebook 

SFX front cover analysis

This is one of the front covers from SFX magazine. SFX is a British magazine, which covers topics in the genres of popular science fictions, fantasy and horror, in different types of medias such as films, video games, comics and literature. The magazine was founded in 1995 and gets published every 4 weeks for Future PLC. The genre of the magazine can be told immediately by the 3D, silver masthead in bold. This futuristic tone has also been accompanied by a visionary dominant central image. The cover lines mention films; 'Dawn of the Apes' as well as tv shows such as 'Walking Dead', 'Super Natural' and 'Doctor Who'. All of these productions fit in with the Sci-fi genre, which SFX promotes. 

Poster analysis 1

The first film poster I am going to be analysing is La La Land as has been classified as the musical genre.  The poster conventions I found for this film were smaller images, reviews, reference to awards, film title, name of stars and star ratings. I suspect the rest of the posters I analyse to include the same conventions, despite the differing genres.
