Potential fonts for magazine cover

I have conducted research into potential fonts for my magazines front cover. I have decided that my film will be a mainstream Hollywood blockbuster. This has led to the type of publication which would feature my film on. This publication will be mainstream magazines, such as Empire, Total Film and The Hollywood reporter. 

 Below I have compiled a list of potential fonts and included reasons for each of the fonts sustainability. 

Kaffeesatz is a potential font which I think could be sustainable for my magazine as it is quite comtemporary. 
Eagle Bold is another potential font which I will consider using. I think this font would be suitable for my magazine, due to its captivating nature. 

Due to its versatility, Antenna is suitable for mainstream publications, such as The Hollywood Reporter. Although, as my film is going to feature on the front page, I feel as though my magazines font needs to appear slightly less elegant, to suit the sinister nature to which my film portrays.

Neue Helvetica is another potential font I will consider using. I think that it is sustainable, as the fonts simplicity is quite effective in engaging the audience. 


Duplicate Ionic is a traditional, which would be compelling for the viewer. This would be suitable for a magazine which features mainstream Hollywood blockbusters. 


I have chosen Franklin Goth as another potential font which I could use. This is because I feel as though it has a gripping essence, which would be efficient for mainstream publications. 
Proforma is a similar font to Duplicate Ionic. both these fonts don't stand out as much in comparison to the other fonts I have come across. Therefore, I most likely won't end up using them. 


 Franklin Goth is the font which I chose to use for my final magazine cover.

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:

list of tools I used in software

Adobe premiere: software ALL DONE ON A PC Camera: HC-VX980 Manfrotto tripod Use of dissolves From black dissolving into next shot – slows the tone down and gives glimpses in (seems like little romantic snapshots at the start) I added an outside sound during the park shots Camera sound from the colleges sound effect library Impact sounds from BBC sound library I included a sound effect of a ring tone from BBC sound effects library instead of the apple iphone ringtone which I recorded with the shot iphone doesn’t sound like a ringtone in a trailer Fading down the volume of the music whenever there was any dialogue from the actors the music was loudest in the 3 rd part so I especially did this here Photoshop, for the film title
