Magazine Analysis

Here this magazine shows many features that are applicable to other profession publications. First of all, the title of the magazine - Total Film - is in bold and of opposite colour to its background which makes it stand out a lot. Next a pug is used with text inside it advertising how to win free cinema tickets. This gives the reader an incentive to buy and read the contents of the magazine which will widen its appeal.

Down the right hand side are the main contents of the magazine which are related to it being a 'Horror Special' issue. This is in a red font to furthermore back up the fact that this is a Horror themed special edition.

Next is the Movie title 'The Woods' and the tagline which are in the same font which is on the movie poster. This is to create synergy between both forms of media. The priece and issure number are also included to create a sense of professionalism within the magazine, also as well with the inclusion of the barcode.

Finally we have the text at the bottom of the magazine which tries to sell the magazine to the consumer normally with eye-catching and boasting terms. Here, 'The UK's Top selling monthly movie magazine!' is used to give the magazine credibility and worthiness. I decided to change things around from my original mock-up due to the fact that the image used didn't make the other features look as good as they are now, and if they where used then the film magazine would look cluttered and unprofessional
