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 

Magazine cover analysis introduction

After looking at the conventions of movie posters, I will now do the exact same, but for film magazine covers. Both film magazines I will be looking at are aimed at different audience and will both be for different front covers from a different film magazine. In terms of design and layout, I will be able to see if both film magazines share the same conventions.  Below are the two film magazine covers I will be analysing:
