The document discusses potential names for a new film magazine. It proposes "Silver Screen" which references the material films were historically projected on in cinemas. Using this name would clearly indicate the magazine content and the alliteration would make it catchy and memorable to help build the magazine's reputation. The second proposed name is "The Pictures" which comes from how early films were called "motion pictures" and audiences referred to watching them as "going to the pictures." This name would also clearly indicate the film-focused content and demonstrate the magazine's knowledge of film history.

1. IDEAS FOR NAME OF
MAGAZINE

2. SILVER SCREEN
• Our first idea for the name of our magazine is ‘Silver Screen’.
This is because the silver screen is the name of what films used
to be projected on when cinemas first came about.
• By using this name it will clearly indicate to the audience the
content in the magazine, and also the use of alliteration in the
masthead will be catchy and memorable. Having a catchy
magazine name will help build up the magazine’s reputation
and therefore attract a wider range of readers.
• The next slide will show what a silver screen looked liked.

4. THE PICTURES
• Our second option for our magazine name is ‘The Pictures’.
This idea came from how before films people used to watch a
series of pictures put together to look like they’re moving,
getting the name ‘motion pictures’. Audiences at the time used
to call watching these ‘going to the pictures’.
• From using this as our film name it will indicate to the audience
the content of the magazine being films and also that we have
a wide knowledge of films.

Hollywood.
