I have decided I want to use TOTAL FILM for my magazine as I feel it would advertise the film I am going to create. I then decided to do some further research into Total Film and came up with the following:
- Total Film is a UK-based film magazine published 13 times a year by Future Publishing. The magazine was launched in 1997 and offers cinema, DVD and Blu-ray news, reviews and features. Total Film is available both in print and interactive iPad editions.
- Each month, Total Film provides a range of features, from spotlight interviews with actors and directors, to making of and on-set pieces for new and future releases. Each issue always includes the Total Film Interview, which is a six-page in-depth chat with an actor or director, along with a critique of their body of work.
- Dialogue: In this section of the magazine, the readers are able to interact with the magazine as letters and emails written by the readers themselves are featured.
- Buzz: This section of the magazine is considered the news section in which the editor features information about upcoming films, includes first look photos or exclusive 'sneek peeks.' Some of the regular features include: Ever Met Tom Cruise? where a behind the scenes person is interviewed and You Talkin' To Me? where stars answer questions posed as famous film quotes and Red Light, Green Light for what is hot and what is not in movie-land.
- Agenda: This section often previews of less mainstream releases and players.
- Screen: The main cinema reviews section, with every new movie for that month reviewed and rated. Major releases receive comprehensive coverage, with a star rating out of five, the magazine's own Predicted Interest Curve.
- Lounge: TF's home entertainment guide, including reviews of the latest DVDs and Blu-rays, as well as some games, soundtracks and books.
This information will help me when designing my magazine as I can use it whilst creating my cover lines. I want my magazine to looks as realistic as possible, so I want it to convey the typical codes and conventions of Total Film Magazine.
