Research and Planning: Codes and Conventions of a Film Magazine

Title/Masthead
The title of this magazine is 'Total Film'. This doesn't relate to the film featured on the cover as it is the same on every issue to keep the house style.

Main Story
The main story is the film that is featured on that issue. This issue is 'Alice in Wonderland' and features Johnny Depp as he is a star in this film.

Main Photo
The main photo on this magazine is of Johnny Depp as his character in 'Alice in Wonderland'. He is one of the main stars of the film which is why he is on the cover to promote the film.

Banners
The banners show what other stories and things are in the magazine. For example, this one has 'FREE GIANT IRON MAN POSTER', showing another feature of the magazine.

Coverlines
The coverlines show the other stories that are featured in the magazine. It advertises to the audience/customer so they know what's inside when they buy a magazine.

Positioning Statement
Although it isn't shown on this issue, the positioning statement for this magazine is 'The Modern Guide to Movies'. It is a tagline that comes with the magazine so they're associated with eachother.

Bar Code/Price/Issue Number
The bar code is always on a magazine and the issue number and price are placed next to it. The issue number shows what number the magazine is and keeps track of all the issues.
