Ancillary 2 - initial ideas

For my second ancillary I chose to make a film magazine front cover as I felt as though it would tie-in with my poster that I chose to do for my first ancillary.

Design:
For a design I am going to have an 'action shot' as a main image in order to capture the audience's attention.
At the top of the page I will have the title of 'Film Weekly' so that the reader/audience is able to know the name of the magazine, also all real film magazines have titles/names, so this means that I will have to make one for my product.
On the front cover I will have small amounts of texts that will have information in them, such as reviews and also information about what is inside the magazine.
I will also have an advertisement on the front cover for a free poster that will be inside the film magazine, by doing this it means that it will make my product seem more original and professional as this is sometimes seen on examples of real texts.
Another thing that I will add to the front cover is a barcode,as all magazines have barcodes and prices on them. Barcodes are a cheap and easy way of identifying the price of a product.

I will have to make sure the genre of my product is clear through the use of mise-en-scene and what font style and size I use as this will make the genre easily identifiable. Mise-en-scene is important in identifying genre and it is also important in engaging with the audience as it is what the audience will notice first and base their views on the genre off.
