Magazine Pre Production Progress Report

Thomas Allison 0051


My Magazine Pre Production went fairly well and there were not many problems with designing my magazine. To begin with Research was found to be interesting and the comparison of different film magazine companies and the magazines within the companies used fairly similar methods to attract their target audiences. These included using the same Titles and methods of presenting their pictures. From the research i then determined my chosen magazine company to represent, I chose Empire as they focus more main stream and I have taken more of a interest in their magazines rather than Sight and Sound After research was completed and when I had more of an understanding about the magazine media industry I began to plan ideas drawing sketches and analysing my ideas. The next stage came when filming the trailer. I took as many photos as possible to enable me to chose from a large range to either be the background or main image on my magazine. I narrowed my options down and then began to write about them stating why they were usable or effective in attracting my target audience. My chosen Ideas were the grey clouds in the sky following Empires codes and Conventions and my main image was the protagonist (Ben) posing a dominant stance with his eyes facing towards the top to get the audiences attention near to the main logo. After I had gathered my main images and backgrounds (which includes possible fonts, barcode, Main title and price) it was time to use PhotoShop to begin the construction of my magazine.
