1. Magazine research

2. On the Empire magazine website they talked about the film and what its like then they rate it on a scale of 1 to 5 stars and then there is a key showing what the stars mean. Empire is a British film magazine published monthly by Bauer Consumer Media. From the first issue in July 1989, the magazine was edited by Barry McIlheney and published by Emap. Bauer purchased Emap Consumer Media in early 2008. It is the biggest selling film magazine in the United Kingdom and is also published in the United States, Australia, Turkey, Russia, and Portugal. Empire organises the annual Empire Awards which were sponsored by Sony Ericsson, and from 2009 sponsored by Jameson.[2] The awards are voted for by readers of the magazine. Empire Magazine: http://www.empireonline.comhttp://www.empireonline.com The picture above shows the gender and the age of the people that read empire and this really helped me when it came to picking a magazine to put my film in. I really liked the way that empire promotes films but it’s a big mainstream magazine and my film has more of a independent feel to it so I wont be using empire as my magazine.

3. The little white lies website is very easy and basic but this isn't always a bad thing because it is very simple to use and everyone who wants to use it can use it. Also you can see in the bottom right hand corner that they use six different web 2.0 sites (Facebook, Instagram etc.) Little White Lies is a bi-monthly, British independent movie magazine that features writing, illustration and photography related to cinema. It is published by London-based creative agency The Church of London who also publish Huck Magazine. It is a small independent magazine and we felt that it wasn’t big enough to promote our film therefore we didn’t go with this magazine when it came to promoting our film.

4. Sight and sound don’t actually have there own proper website, instead they are part of the BFI (British Film Institute) website. We are going to use Sight and Sound magazine to promote our film as we feel it looks more at the director and the people making the film rather then just looking at the main actors starring in the film. “Sight & Sound” is a British film magazine, published monthly by the British Film Institute. It was first published in 1932, before being taken over by the BFI in 1934. For the majority of its history, “Sight & Sound” has been published as a quarterly magazine, except for a brief spell as a monthly magazine in the 1950s and from the 1990s onwards. “Sight & Sound” is marketed as a high-brow, consumer magazine. This is the price of the magazine and if you live in the UK you get it cheaper which I think is really good and also it isn't that much money for 12 months.
