Film Magazine Plan



Main image: What is the main image going to be? What type of shot composition/angle etc?


  • The main image is going to be one of the main actors, either the protagonist or the antagonist within the film. 
  • close up shot of the actor, displaying mise-en scene of a suit. 
  • actor conforms to conventions by looking straight into the camera.
Name of magazine: What are the connotations of the title?

Faded – This film title refers directly to Gangster crime films, as 'fade' is the lose of brightness and vividness this definition is shown in majority of gangster films. 



Headline: What is the headline and how does it match the film/actor etc.

The headline will be the film title, this means the image will anchor the headline as the image will be of the main characters. The actor's name will also be positioned above the headline and so the actors' reputation should attract certain parts of the audience. 

Sell lines: reference to other films/actors/directors/ film festivals. 

  • Directors 
  • Exclusive interviews with famous directors 
  • Introduction of highly anticipated upcoming films 
  • Famous actors to correspond with the upcoming films
Banners/splash: other features, competitions etc. 
  • Limited use of buttons/splash to emphasis the image (Similar
Magazine tagline:

No tagline 



Other info: (price, date of issue etc) 
  • The Price and Date of the issue will be positioned at the bottom of the magazine cover in a same font as this is very conventional in magazines in general. 
  • I will also position the Barcode towards the bottom of the magazine cover for authenticity and the website of the film magazine.
