2. For A2 Media Studies I am trying to decide which is the best name for my film magazine, out of these colour/highlight the
one that you like the most:
 Dominant Cinema
 Cinema Palace
 Supremacy
 World of Movie
These are the choices that I gave to people who in particular are in my target audience, they then decided the name they
would like a film magazine to have. These name seem more appropriate for the film magazine genre they are in in
this case since the genre is thriller/suspense, adventure and drama.

3. Film Magazine
Dominant Cinema Ultra Cinema Cinema Palace World of Movie

25%
20%
Out of 20 people I questioned to see which name they would like for a film magazine name the name ‘Dominant
Cinema’ won by one against ‘World of Movie’ and ‘Cinema Palace’. I will then name my film magazine this as it
seems that it will attract more audiences of the same, I will also follow the codes and conventions to ensure that
the magazine looks professional.

4. TEXT 1
TEXT 2
To give the font of the header in the film title I went through a number of steps to make font more appealing to the
reader of the magazine. I also added some shadow effects to bring the realistic of the magazine. This is the
name that has been decided upon by the audience that I queried as slide 3 shows. The colour is also bright
implying that there is light even in dark places and the shadow shows that as there is light the darkness must
exist too, this follows the genre of film trailer we are creating the magazine cover for which is adventure, drama
and thriller/suspense. The way that the black shadow lurks on the orange gleam of orange contrasts the plot of
the film trailer which is the children being the gleam of hope and the black being the power authoritive figure the
master mind Mr Prentiss.

5. To create the effect of TEXT 2, by following these settings I have given the text effect of my film magazine.

6. The colours that would suit the genre of the film magazine would correspond with the film trailer which is
drama, adventure and thriller/suspense, the colour that suits these type of genre better and in more detail is
red, yellow, orange, black, and white as they are the colours that are always associate with
adventure, thriller/suspense and drama.
That is because red is danger, action, risk and courage which is shown by the characters which is what adventure is
always associated with, yellow is a warm feeling which brings upon hope and reassurance, orange which is a mixture
of both the warm feeling and the red dangerous atmosphere combining it to make the perfect colour for adventure as
it will always have its red dangers but the yellow warmth of reassurance that all is well. The black is what always
brings with a bright colour which is white, they will always be the best colours to contrast each other as the
thriller/suspense and the drama will always be contrasting each other with the intense atmosphere and having the
audience wait to see what will happen.
These colours are best to describe and are present the genres of the film trailer.

7. This is the final basic layout of the film front cover, after I have finished taking the images I will then replace the one of
the main image of the front cover with my own original image. I will try to ensure that it will have the same effect as
this image has on the magazine. It is the right type of atmosphere for both the film trailer and fits perfectly to the plot
of the film trailer, which is about a circus which has a ring leader that takes children on his own accord.

8. The organisation that will be helping promote and sponsor our film magazine will be Lionsgate this
organisation is best suited for the type of genre that our film trailer follows so there is a high chance
that there will be a lot of audiences that will be attracted to the film as it also follows the codes and
conventions of the reputation of Lionsgate.

9. These facts are what make Lionsgate
more suited to be the best distributor
for our film. They deal in the felid that
is appropriate, it has a very stable
environment to work in for film.

10. The style of the film magazine follows the codes and conventions of other film magazines which possess the
same genre. It corresponds with the expectations that the audiences have for other magazine covers in the
same film genre. The codes and conventions are followed strictly to ensure that there is no doubt that the
film magazine is representing that type of genre, for example with the layout, colour, text and images that
are used to make it more professional and on a high standard, the style is up to date.
