Sight & Sound
After looking through this magazine I can already see differences from the first mainstream magazine I looked at. In this magazine it seems although the title is in a bright colour it does not seem to be the dominant text on screen. The picture in the centre of the magazine is a director instead of a main A list actor, it is very normal for this to happen as this is an independent magazine and tailors towards a independent audience. The cover lines consist of independent film titles and certain well known directors. If I were to produce a independent film this would be the kind of magazine that it would be shown in.
Empire
After looking through this magazine I can see a massive difference between the Sight & Sound magazine and a mainstream magazine. The title of this magazine is the biggest font on the page and can be instantly recognised.
American Cinematographer
This magazine is for the more serious film goers, people who are interested in what's behind the scenes. The front cover of other magazines I have looked at have been A'list actors or directors. This magazine seems to be more of an independent type magazine so when I come to making mine, depending on what time of magazine it is will depend of the features that I put into it.
Screen International
After annotating the front cover of this magazine I can see this magazine is aimed at a more niche market and much different than the big and bold mainstream magazines that are full of huge blockbusters. This magazine focuses more on the behind the scenes at the making of the film.
Movie Maker
This magazine also seems to tailor towards an independent audience but still has some mainstream features such as it has cover lines about mainstream movie's. The central image is an up coming actor in Hollywood who last played in quite a mainstream movie. When I decide what magazine mine will tailor to I will definitely have a much broader idea of the kind of things that magazines focus on.
