Magazine Familiar codes and conventions of Total Film (creating rules)

Total film

The Rules I will follow

• The Total Film logo is placed at the top of the page in whit in a bold font in white. The F in film give the impression that the word total has been cut out of it as you can see the Background through it.


• The title of the film is usually in big bold letters sometimes at the bottom of the page and it is clear and stands out from what is behind it. The name of the film is usually the second largest bit of text on the page and is placed ontop of the picture.


• The colour of the background is usually dark and the image is lighter so that it standsa out from the background


• The image is the largest thing on the page and runs all the way down to the bottom of the page.


• The smallet text that gives the audience information about what is inside the magazine runs down both sides of the page


• The writing that is placed on both sides of the page varies in font styles and colours such as yellow and white to make certain things stand out on the page and is placed ontop of the image and background.


• The writing is usually an opposite colour to the background so it can be read easily and stands out.


• The magazine front cover has all different film advertisements featured on it about things included inside not just for the main film that is featured


• The characters face on the image in the middle of the page is well lit up and is bright so that it can easily be seen.
