Alongside my trailer and poster, I will also be producing a magazine front cover that includes my film for promotional opportunities. In order to make this magazine and selling of my film a successful, I must communicate my genre and characters successfully. My magazine will include:
- Masthead - The masthead is the most prominent and eye-catching part of a magazine's front cover and will therefore need to bold, easy to read and also relate to the magazine's content.
- Main Image - A main image tends to use celebrities for endorsement purposes as a way of selling the magazine to consumers. For my magazine I will be including one of the characters from my film so that I inform audiences of whom is in my film.
- Coverlines - Magazine's coverlines inform audiences what will be included within the magazine, what type of articles they can expect and sometimes include what page they may find them on.
- Anchorage Text - The anchorage text relates to a magazine's main image. It refers to an article or interview that includes whoever is the model in the main image and tells readers what to expect in the magazine.
- Barcode - The barcode is simply a compulsory feature for all magazines that I will need to include in order for my magazine to be sell-able.
- Skyline - The skyline will give information about the magazine itself, for instance the skyline could be 'Britain's No.1 Film Magazine', it is a small part of the front cover but allows for the magazine to sell itself.
- Date & Issue Number - The date and issue number will firstly inform regular readers who may collect which issue follows which and is also a source for information about the magazine, when it will be available to.
- Price - The price may indicate the quality the magazine, for instance, a magazine worth £4 will be of much higher quality in its articles and content. It also informs audiences how much they need to pay for the magazine itself.
