Film Magazine

As our film, 'Viewpoints' is aimed at a target audience of 15 we decided to make the film magazine suitable for a young audience also. The aim of our film is to raise debate and disscussion in the classroom about moral issues such as racism, violence, cultural values, right and wrong etc, therefore the film magazine will also include similar features with the same purpose. The title given to the magazine is 'Spark'. The title has an exciting tone which would appeal to the target audience. It also illuminates the colloquial mode of address of the magazine. The fonts used in the publication will suggest an element of fun, there will be a consistant house style of bold and brightly coloured headlines throughout. Spark will be launched in schools particularly to advertise the short films that will be shown in PSE lessons at school.
Overall, 'Spark' magazine will aim to fulfill three main purposes; Raise awareness on certain issues, educate and entertain. It will include profiles on actors full of fun facts, quizes/competitions, advertisements on the latest games/DVD's/ films, a TV guide for movies and film reviews. It will also include factual pages about current issues and affairs in Britain to allow the young audience to learn from 'Spark' as well as be entertained.
The title Spark was chosen as we feel that it is an appropriate title to our film magazine considering the magazine promotes short films that will be used in shcools to raise debatable issues in PSE. Therefore the films 'spark' discussion in the classroom, Spark magazine will emphasise this.
