The document discusses options for the name of a film magazine: FilmTalk, Film Review, or Film. It suggests that FilmTalk is the best option as it is short, tells audiences what is in the magazine, and will look better on paper without being too long or short. It will help fill space on the page to avoid empty areas.

3.  FilmTalk - short and to the point, tells audiences
exactly what will be inside the magazine
 Film Review - Slightly longer, may be difficult to fit
onto an A4 page in large font
 Film - Although its shorter, it doesn’t really have a
catchy feel to it and wont fill up space on the page
which may make the top third of our magazine look
empty or boring
Overall we feel that FilmTalk is the better option
because it will look better on paper and is neither too
long nor too short.

5.  Due to our audience feedback, we decided to make some
changes to our magazine cover in order to make it more
original and less simplistic. We added more text and
secondary articles to fill spaces around where our main
image will be which would give the cover a fuller look and
minimise negative space.This is a technique we saw being
used numerous times throughout our research of real
magazine covers (examples shown below).

6.  Similarly, we added a comic strip with stills from
our film in order to give audiences a preview into
our films aesthetic. This will intrigue audiences
and hopefully catch their attention. This was a
dominant feature of most of the magazines we
researched to make the covers more interesting
and give them some depth.

7.  For our secondary font, we wanted
to find something that was
interesting yet didn’t take away
from the main titles of the film. We
feel that ‘Raleway’ is our best
option as although it’s simplistic, it
also has many variations shown to
the right which could be useful in
highlighting certain pieces of text
such as the title of our film.We feel
that the lighter ones would look
better used in articles.

8.  We want our magazine to stick to the three colour rule.
One colour scheme we have seen used within our research
is blue, white and yellow and red, white and blue. This is
something we would like to use within our own work in
order to fit into the general look of film magazines . We
feel these colours are appropriate as they appeal to both
male and female audiences and act as neutral colours.This
means that our audiences would be more likely to pick our
magazine up and buy it if it were to be printed which
would make our magazine more successful.
