Film MagazineResearch

By Yasmeen

There is a range of different film magazines available. Many film magazines feature reviews and are a way of promoting the film. Film magazines are generally aimed at people who show an interest in films. This is due to the obvious of it being a film magazine. Many of the film magazines have similar use of colour and layout. All film magazines have their own specific aspects and individual style. The main purpose of a film magazine is to advertise a film.

Main Features of a Film Poster Magazine

Empire Magazine

Empire is a British film magazine published monthly by Bauer Consumer Media. It is the biggest selling film magazine in the United Kingdom and is also published in other countries around the world. It reviews both mainstream films and art films, but feature articles concentrate on the former. As well as film news, previews and reviews, Empire has some other regular features. Each issue features a Classic Scene, a transcript from a notable film scene. Each magazine includes a "Spine Quote", in which a relatively challenging quote is printed on the spine of the magazine. Readers are invited to identify the film source and the links to win a prize.

BFI – Sight & Sound Magazine

Sight & Sound is a British monthly film magazine published by the British Film Institute (BFI).Sight & Sound was first published in 1932 and in 1934 management of the magazine was handed to the nascent BFI, which still publishes the magazine today. The magazine reviews all film releases each month, including those with a limited release, as opposed to most film magazines which concentrate on those films with a general release. Sight & Sound features a full cast and crew credit list for each reviewed film. Every decade, Sight & Sound asks an international group of film professionals to vote for their greatest film of all time. Critics are asked to provide a top ten list. This is an individual feature of this magazine. This magazine is aimed at people who show an interest in film and also people that show an interest in British film more specifically.

Total Film is a UK based film magazine published 13 times a year (every four weeks) 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.
