1. Idea Brief
• For the film magazine, the brief only mentions secondary school children so I will aim my
audience to mainly 14–18 year old boys with a social class of A B C1. I’ve chosen this age range
because early and late teenagers will be very interested in film and TV and so it is a much more
mature audience than bellow 13. Having my target of mainstreamers would mean if my magazine
covered child movies like animations or superhero movies for example, I will more chance of
appealing to a large group.
• The product magazine must inform readers of the various film related news they will be
interested in, such as upcoming films, actor/celebrity news, film ratings and various articles
relating the events in the film/media industry. The magazine must also be entertaining because
having a target audience of 14–18 year old boys means that my magazine wont be appealing if
there is too much text and no interesting subjects. I can make the magazine interesting by
covering news about actors and mainly revolving my magazine around the animated, fantasy and
action film genres.
• My magazine will be seen online. As stated in the brief the magazine is electronic, as such it will
be viewed on various digital devices such as tablets, computers, mobile phones and possibly
games consoles which will be fitting since the target audience are teenage boys, they will be
playing a lot of video games.
2. First Idea
• I want to use the upcoming star George Cook as my inspiration for this magazine article and
picture. I want to create a double page spread containing a large picture and a large article on
each page that is inspired to be like the James Bond films. For the picture, I wanted it to be a
medium shot of George dressed in a smart suit with the left side of his body at an angle and his
arm extended holding his gun out towards the left of the page. I’d like his facial expression to be
as if he is serious about the situation. Think picture will be taken in a London street with the
buildings and people behind him out of focus slightly to symbolise his importance in the shot.
• I want to also have antagonist also played by George Cook. Named Keith Cook in the film, his
character profile will be in the magazine. I have made a rough Photoshop imagine of a typical
gang outfit George may wear during his photo-shoot of Keith (any weapons used will be fake or
simply just props.
• I will then interview George Cook and get his opinions on his films and his carrier as a movie star. I
want to get enough information to put into the article that will go on the opposite page to the
picture. George will be dressed in a smart grey suit and he will speak quite formally and be
modest about his new found fame and talent. I will take George to London for the photo shoot by
car and take various other pictures of George from different angles, although I would like my
specific angle it would be useful to take more pictures for the editor/designer to play with.

5. Second Idea
• I want to use the upcoming star Fraser Hallett in a romantic comedy type film. I will have a few
pictures of Fraser in different outfits scattered around a single page. The page will consist of an
article relating to Fraser’s recent success in the comedy genre and the pictures will have him
dressed In costumes like, a business suit, some casual clothes, a party suit and some sports gear.
This will tell the reader that Fraser is very talented in portraying a large variety of characters.
• The article will talk about how Fraser was always good at drama as a child and was the lead role in
a number of his school’s performances. He become a movie star when some directors came to his
school and he was nominated for the auditions for a film which he won and took part in.
Afterwards he kept getting requests from producers to have him play a role in their movies and
eventually become famous. Fraser is very modest about his fame and doesn’t feel he is deserving
of it since he finds himself to be very normal.
