Research and Planning: Existing Film Magazine


Empire 
This magazine was first issued in 1989 and since then it has been issued every month at a price of £3.99. The typical things which you may find inside an Empire magazine are reviews, the nominees of the rewards which they host (named the Empire awards, voted by readers), film news, previews etc. A unique selling point of this magazine is that it sometimes features a classic scene, basically being a transcript from a film that will be easily recognised due to its popularity. 


Sight & Sound
This film magazine is independent and is produced by the British Film Institute. It was first published in 1932 and since then it has been published every month. As a result of it being independent magazine it features much more the Arthouse type of film as oppose to the conglomerate films which feature in Empire. Typical things to find inside of the Sight & Sound magazine would include reviews, upcoming films, film news etc. The unique selling point of this magazine is that every ten years, Sight & Sound ask film professionals to vote on their favourite films of all time. They will then publish their findings and results in a special issue of the magazine.


Total Film
This magazine was first issued in 1997 and since then has been issued every 4 weeks, at the price of £3.99. The things which could be found in each issue of this magazine the audience is offered full range interviews, photo shoots, film previews and interviews with actors and directors. This magazine is seen to be in the shadow of Empire and has been the second biggest selling film magazine in Britain for many years. The unique selling point of this film is that it has a parody page ,which mocks a recent release.
