Magazine review ideas


In order to create an authentic magazine review we need to come up with ideas for the name of the Magazine and the section title for the review itself. Some ideas for the name of the Magazine  name that we have come up with are:

"Movie King" - This idea is a bit cheesy but states he purpose of the magazine and gives the idea that it may give an extensive review, but the use of the word "king" almost acts as an exaggeration, which would give the reader the idea of a Total Film-esque Magazine.

"Film Guru" - Again this idea is a bit cheesy and like the previous one, gives the idea of an informal audience for which we are aiming for. A danger is that it may seem too relaxed and needs to be a more respectable name.

"Weekly Film" - This provides a more professional look to the magazine with which our review will take place. it doesn't provide as quite as an intellectual name as "Sight and sound" but provides a more layman magazine name, for film buffs.

"Vital Cinema" - Again this provides a professional and fresh look. the idea isn't so original as most movie review magazine names consist of an adjective and a film related word, and we feel in keeping with this, that this would be a sensible review magazine name.

Another vital name for our magazine review article is the name of the section title which will highlight that the page will consist of different film reviews. Examples of this from Total film are "Screen", simple words that highlight that the fact that the page talks about film specifically rather than TV or news in he film industry. some examples we have thought of are:

"Movie Zone" - although slightly unoriginal  and cheesy it highlights to the audience what the section will be about and considering our magazine will be aimed at more layman movie buffs this section title would be more than suitable.

"Screen Watch" - This title provides a more professional look to the magazine but not too educational in its written code. The section highlights the topic being "screen" which people commonly associate with movies and the word watch highlights the depth of analysis that people have gone for it. we have decided to go for this one as it provides a more professional of the three yet not too educational in its aim, providing the lesser of two evils from the other two titles.

"Silver Screen" - this refers to the old fashion way to describe cinema in which the projectors would show the film onto silverfish screens for the audience to view them. it highlights the idea of movies and gives a fresher and professional tone, for those who know where the term came from. however this could be deemed as more for the higher and more educational magazines that provide a more analytical view.
