MAGAZINE RESEARCH
Empire + Total Film

Before I begin construction on my movie poster, as I did
with both the movie poster and the actual teaser trailer, I
will have to construct research into real media products
that will influence my magazine construction.
The two magazines I will compare will be Total Film and
Empire, two popular film magazines.

The image, taken from The
Amazing Spiderman is laid over
the masthead of the magazine; this
is a regular feature found in many
popular magazines. Their
popularity ensures they do not
have to reveal the full title.
Masthead written in a bold font, to
attract the eye and make it
noticeable to the customer. This
font is kept consistent each issue.
Colour coding on the skyline
banner; Prometheus in a yellow
font to make it noticeable.
Declarative ‘Worlds best movie
reviews’ The magazine is
renowned by the market and has
weight to such a claim.

Red sticker on left channel; eye-
catching and features a list.
Listing is commonly used in
movie magazines and this one
details ‘12 movie surprises that
will rock 2012’.
Sub headings used to highlight
content of magazine in a
compressed, neat listing whilst
also alternating the colours.
Magazine, issue date, number
and website. Website allows
inter-textuality and ability for
more content online.

Text box; exclamatory ‘EXCLUSIVE’
draws attention to the eye as it explains
the main article.
Bullet points detail content of main
article in a compressed fashion and
stars are used to keep in context with
the cinematic/film field.
‘FREE’ written in red and capital large
font. Striking colour draws readers
attention to a ‘freebie’ – a giveaway
incentive to encourage the reader to
purchase. Adjective ‘Amazing’
describes posters.
‘+’ Plus sign highlights further content
inside the magazine listed below. Brief
sentences, alliteration of ‘playboy, port
and ping-pong’.
Barcode alongside publisher.

Bold masthead in a striking red
colour.
Similarly to ‘Total Film’, masthead
written in a consistent font each
issue.
Issue date and pricing. Two prices
are shown; pounds and USD
representing US Dollars. The
magazine is sold in a number of
regions highlighting its popularity.
A bold declarative is made ‘The
world’s biggest movie magazine’
highlighting its universal popularity.
Also a reference can be made with
the name ‘Empire’.
Website of the magazine; inter-
textuality and more content online.

Bold font; ‘Massive Preview Special’. Massive suggests a large quantity of reviews/content for the reader. More content = more value.
Listing of all the films in the magazine. ‘And many more’ suggests that there is even more content for the reader
Non-standard English/colloquialism ‘Bloody Hell’ used on front cover. Refers to blood on main photo.

My aim for my magazine is to:
Have a banner alongside the foot of the front cover displaying
more content.
Have small subheadings.
Have a colour scheme that meshes well together.
Ensure the final magazine is interconnected with my other
products.
Have a website and issue date/no.
Have a bold, eye-catching masthead.
Have a main movie EXCLUSIVE!
Use a main image but also possibly have other images
alongside.
