20 existing film publications

In this blog post I have written a list of magazine film publications. Even though a production/distribution company for a film will not be able to control exactly what appears on the front cover of a film magazine, film magazines however still play an important part in a films marketing campaign. My first piece of magazine research will be looking at different types of film magazines that exists so that I can decide what style of film publication would be most appropriate to feature my film on their cover. I will be creating an imaginary magazine but it will be in the style of which ever magazine I decide is most appropriate for my film.

Box Office - Box office results, top ten, and movie reviews. Audience would generally be for people interested in the box office results and how well their film is doing – directors, producers etc:










Bright 
Lights
 - film magazine which is online and examines classic, commercial, and independent films from a wide range of vantage points from the aesthetic to the political. This magazine contains classic movies and independent films so the audience isn’t mainstream and would appeal probably to an older market.















Close Up
– Online UK film magazine online. You can find reviews, features and interviews for new cinema and DVD releases, articles on independent, low-budget and regional filmmaking. Appeals to an audience who are interested in independent, low-budget films. 














Empire
- Features news, reviews, top movies, upcoming releases, box office results (UK), forum, and more. Mainstream audience.











Film Comment - Quality magazine providing articles on films old and new, foreign and domestic, narrative and documentary. Would appeal to a variety of people, people who are interested in reading up about all sorts of films.


















Film Journal
- Movie reviews, news, and interviews for Hollywood, indie, and foreign films. Mainstream audience.
















Filmmaker Magazine - Presents an insider's perspective on the world of independent filmmaking including: interviews, case studies, financing and distribution information, festival reports, technical and production updates, and more. Audience would probably be for filmmaker’s not the people watching the film, quite a niche market.




Future Movies
- British movie review guide features profiles of new movies, cinema releases and latest DVD reviews. British films are in this magazine, audience would be for the British market providing us with information on new movies that are coming out.













Hollywood Reporter - Newspaper providing movie reviews, box office info, entertainment and celebrity news, more. For a wide audience interested in celebrity gossip and movie reviews etc:




IiF Magazine - US magazine on indie filmmaking. Audience would probably be for indie filmmakers.

Inside Film
- Provides news and information on the world's film festivals. People who are interested in film festivals and people in the film industry.












MovieScope - Magazine explores the various aspects of filmmaking from the perspective of the filmmakers themselves. Audience is small, for filmmakers and people who are in the film industry and interested in film. 







MovieMaker
- Guide to independent film and filmmaking from around the world. This magazine is for independent filmmakers.














Sight and Sound
- Well-known magazine from the British Film Institute. Features top ten movies, the best film music, in-depth interviews, retrospective articles and news. Magazine appeals to a less 

mainstream audience, however still features mainstream films as well as independent and low-budget.












Premiere
- Features Hollywood movie news, reviews and previews, celebrity interviews and inside stories. Mainstream audience.















Preview
- International magazine packed with information on the latest big screen movies. Audience would appeal to everyone, mainstream.














Screendaily
- Daily film industry news from around the globe, reviews from the world's leading festivals and box office comment from every major territory. Wouldn’t appeal to everyone, people who are in the film industry would be interested.















Kamera - Intelligent UK magazine that mainly concentrates on arthouse and independent films. Would appeal to a niche market, people interested in lower-budget films, less mainstream.




Hotdog
-
News, features, reviews, interviews, chat, and more from the U.K. film magazine. UK magazine, would appeal to a wide audience.













Total Film
- Features interviews, mainstream films, review etc: For a mainstream type audience.









When looking for images of each of the magazine’s some of them I couldn’t find the logo or a good image so I replaced it with an image close enough to what the magazine represents.
