Film Magazine Front Cover Target Audience

Gender-male/female-
My film magazine front cover will be made for both males and females to view. The film magazine front cover shall stick to the codes and conventions of a typical magazine front cover. The film magazine front cover shall not be aimed directly at either sex. Although men would most likely prefer to look at it as it most likely to have a gory and very graphic picture some where on the cover as the film it shall be advertising is my horror trailer film ‘Bloodshed’. Even though some women also find that pictures are interesting to look at as they don’t see that sort of thing every day, even it doesn’t look very nice.

The genre for my film magazine front cover shall be Thriller/Horror like with the genre for the film teaser trailer and film poster. The film magazine cover may include violence and be rather graphic with the pictures. It shall have one main big masterhead (magazine title, a date of the issue line, a main cover line (main topic with in the magazine to grab attention of people), model credit (use of a famous person or character), a main image, cover lines (other things that the magazine speaks about).

I would like my audience to look at the film magazine and think it looks interesting and would make them want to buy it if it were a real product in a shop. My Magazine front cover shall stick to the codes and conventions of the typical film magazine front cover.


Age-the age group e.g. elderly, teenagers etc-
My film magazine front cover will be aimed towards older children/adults aged 15-18 or older. This is because it may include a mild use of violence or explicit materials within the magazine and may use a graphic picture on the front cover which younger children would not like.

The magazine would be put in shops and sometimes in cinemas and in places where young adults tend to look for there magazines, so this would most likely be with other magazine of the same type such as ‘Empire’, ‘NME’, ‘FHM’ etc. This would give the magazine a good advertisement for the audience, as they would know where to look for it.

Class-ABC1, C2DE, lower, higher etc-

I would like my film magazine to be for any class, so anyone who just generally like films and knowing more about them.
