32. Research into Film Magazines


Sight and Sound Magazine

Sight and sound magazine is a british monthly film magazine ran by the British Film Institution.

It is more formal and sophisticated compared to other popular film magazines such as Empire. Below I have inserted photos of pages from the magazine. They use a combination of words and photos in a 'clean cut' style.

This is an independent film magazine and tends to feature mainly art house films and attract a higher demographic audience.



















Empire Magazine
Empire is a British monthly film magazine which is less formal than Sight and Sound and mainly read by males. This could be because of the types of film that are featured on their cover which are mainly superhero and action films which stereotypically attract males.






Along with my research, I also found this slideshare which shows more of the conventions of film magazines.

As the film my group have made is aimed at mainly teenagers, I think it would be best to base my magazine on an Empire magazine article as these readers typically have a lower demographic such as group E -students.
