Elevate - Magazine: Photoshoot Today

I decided that my magazine cover will focus on the character played by Max Hill. The photoshoot was taken outside and against a black wall. I am happy with the resulting photographs. The originals will be uploaded with my final cover.

Elevate - Magazine: Month of Magazine Release

This issue featuring Elevate will be on sale in November, this gives enough time to get people interested in the idea of the film to read the articles and become more excited for the film's release date of the 6th of January. This date means the most people see the magazine's front cover and maybe attract more audience members before the films release date.

These fonts are the different types I will choose between, to create a text style for my magazine. The different aspects for the style will be the cover title, the article titles, the article text and the cover tagline.

Elevate - Magazine: Title and Logo Ideas

After knowing the titles for real film magazines, Empire, TotalFilm, Sight and Sound, etc I have thought of some similar film related titles for my magazine and then once I ran out of ideas I looked at a list of different film formats from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_film_formats. This has given me several more title ideas, the 5 title ideas that I think are the most appropriate are, there is also a description to how they are appropriate to be a magazine name:

• Reel - the film ree
• New & Unknown
• Talent
• MotionMaster
• Cinematograph - The cinematograph is a film camera, which also serves as a film projector and developer. This would be seen as the magazine that talks about films in development showing the developer part of the definition and then reviewing the films, acting as the film projector side of the definition.

The magazine will focus on independent releases so the title Cinematograph would be the most relevant since the camer films and develops in itself making it indepedent.

The tagline for the monthly magazine will be "Bringing you everything Indie".

Elevate - Magazine: Film Magazine Covers & Content

Stories that are mentioned on the front cover normally are the smaller stories that are used to increase consumers of the product. These are normally just interviews with cast and crew of that film, this will be useful information when I make my magazine cover.

Elevate - Magazine: Introduction

This is the start of my magazine cover research and production of it. The next few posts will consist of research, then on the 15th the Photoshoot of the cast and individual cast members shots will take place. The photo's will be used for the cover and the inside article of the magazine, to demonstrate the difference of a photoshoot in a magazine or stills from the film would have on the inside article.

Mainstream magazines such as Entertainment Weekly take their own photo's of the cast of films and tv show cast, as well as the inside photo's. Example below. Total Film's magazine cover makes use of their own Sherlock Holmes photoshoot and stills from movies on their cover.

      


This is an example of the most recent cover of the Empire Magazine Cover and 3 inside article, 2 of which use shots from the film, the last is an interview with the cast which uses their own photoshoot images.
