 Total FILM Magazine -  The front cover for the FILM magazine is filled with lots of different conventions and meanings, we can see that this specific cover is littered with that bright red colour. We can gauge from this that they are trying to portray a certain feeling within the magazines front cover as the colour red is a strong colour which often suggests violence/anger and we know from the cover of the magazine how this links to the movie because it is a film magazine based on an action movie. We gather it is an action movie also based on what the two stars are wearing and the props that they are holding,  Little White Lies - The front magazine cover for little white lies is very different to a normal film magazine and does not follow the standard conventions of a magazine. They use graphics and art to alter their images to make them fall in line with their branding.

Have it be a mix between current film magazines, FILM & Little White Lies keeping the standard look and overall idea from the FILM covers but implementing the little white lies graphics into the cover.  the sub genre for my magazine will vary a lot as I want to make a directors magazine getting an insight on the directors/producers POV of how certain films have come about to be what they have become and the process it takes to get there. The specific target audience for this magazine is 16 to 25 year old middle and upmarket media literate audience. Write an overview of your magazine - What values will it stand for/how will it be represented/what sort of content will it include/how will it appear to the target audience? My magazine will appeal to the audience because it will have pages on the contents page based on everything to do with the BTS of a movie which a media literal audience would have an interest in PHOTOSHOOTS I NEED TO PLAN AND TAKE.

Statement of intent  The intent for my magazine is to create it more so for aspiring film directors as opposed to the traditional film magazine based on the movies itself. I aim to have 2 covers and 2 single page contents pages that are filled with director based ideas but also about upcoming films and how they are made / what process the crew have to go through to make them. My contents page will have titles that refer to these things with short comments under each of them explaining briefly what the title refers to. My front covers will have images of upcoming directors on it with fitting headlines to match the main image the will also cover the main codes and conventions of a normal magazine using the barcode in the bottom corner of the front cover with the price and the date all together. I will also link it back to Bauers group by possibly adding their logo somewhere on my front cover to show that we are in fact apart of Bauer for the media literate audiences we are targeting ...
