Research in existing similar products (features that or both
positive and negative)
In terms of similar products that already exist within in the mainstream media industry, an example would be (Entertainment Empire, Best Movie,Film), they cover films and similar
content as to what I intend to include within my magazine, their basis would focus around on predominant new trends within the film industry.

Entertainment Empire covers a variety of elements such as TV, FILM, Cast Interviews, other magazines follows a similar type of international format, they would probably use some
consumer research e.g (Primary and Secondary Research) to condense interest of the consumer also any streaming or high seen grossing Film/TV/Music Media would also be used
as a basis for content that other magazines would use to make a formatt that would influence the consumer to buy the magazine.

However, in contrast it’s primary focus will be on budget made films e.g amauter films/restricted budget films, the content will focus on types of media made by these creators, not
stand out directors, accredited actors who have been part of these types of media productions. So I feel personally magazine hasn’t been accredited to such a creation as these so I
hope my publication will be some sort of breakthrough magazine to create recognition for these film creators.

the way in which I intend to compete with major multi million pound rivals is through the distribution to my consumers, The target audience will still be at the standards of other
publications such as (Total Film, Empire Entertainment)

I will change have a format also a detailed interactive features available with e-magazine, that allows you to see the features of a also I would intend to include either a (Twitter,
Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram) this again would identify to the consumers I am trying to interest. By reaching out through media on a larger scale than some other amauter rival
proudcts this gets my publication out more vividly without using just one resource to get the product through to the consumers.

By adapting my publications to cross over to different media streams the allows for more distribution as well as a sharing scheme to become part which through allowing people to
read my publication and stream through different devices more people can interact with the product.
Outline of the Chosen Idea and Target Readership
In terms of Target Audience, in relation of Demographics, it intends engage a broad range of different
consumers from all races, genders, and ages, through a variety of contents, genre, materials, and special
editions.

My publication will have a distinctive mix of contents, that will differ completely from other and previous
publications, who write or publish articles on these features. The Primary Audience for the publication is
between ages of 16-50+ years of age.

The content will then spread onto upcoming amauter films. Their production process, who other people could be
influenced on beginn to create such materials, also to reach out to my consumers, due to the content not
really being a stand out against other publications such as (Empire Entertainment, Total Film), it then about
how I get the publication out to my consumer

I will obviously intend on creating a physical edition for people who either do not have access to any such
media device, or have lower income revenue to afford or subscribe a monthly or single edition for the target
audience.

The target audience will still be at the standards of other publications such as (Total Film, Empire
Entertainment) I will change have a format also a detailed interactive features available with e-magazine,
that allows you to see the features of a also I would intend to include either a (Twitter, Snapchat,
Facebook, Instagram) this again would identify to the consumers I am trying to interest.

Legal Issues
● Despite only being a sample, your front cover seems to replicate that found on magazines such as Q and Empire meaning you
need to find creative and artistic ways of making your magazine more distinctive to your target audience. You also need to
ensure you avoid any legal or copyright issues regarding this and also explain how you will deal with any complaints or legal
action taken against your magazine.

● Your magazine will also need to seek permission to promote and advertise all content and movies therefore with some films
being made my amateur film makers this may prove difficult so you need to state how you intend to overcome this?

The way in which I intend to make sure I regulate within the parameters of publication regulations and those of the productions, I would
try to reach out to each amatuer production company that is linked with the person(s) that are relevant to the product I will be
discussing within my publication, as part of this, after I have finalized the product I will allow them as the (contents owners and topic) to
discuss any relevant issues with the editors but also gaining written content to publish the article I have written this would therefore be
documented as part of my publication portfolio.

I will try to look at others and moreover cross different publicational formats to form my own original layout, I totally concur that my
sample design does replicate the likes of Q Magazine, for which I could be legally prosecuted, so I will intend on developing the house
style (colours, layout,etc) as this would again replicate the ideal of being original.
Ethical and PPC (Press Complaints Commission)
Regulations.
In terms of PPC regulation I have to adhere are as follows, each underlined regulation is what I
believe could be part of my final product.

● Accuracy
● Opportunity to Reply
● Privacy
● Harassment
● Intrusion into grief and shock
● Children
● Reporting Crime
● Victims of sex assault
● Discrimination
Accuracy
● The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information,
including pictures
● A significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distortion once recognised must be
corrected, promptly and with due prominence, and – where appropriate – an apology published.
In cases involving the Commission, prominence should be agreed with the PCC in advance

In terms of my first regulation I have to make sure that as part of my article that it truly
reflects a purposeful and reliable source being point on point fact, not either misleading my
audience in any way, breaking down and using facts reliable to the content this ensure a more clear
and purposeful publication.

To ensure my second bullet point is also adhered too, I will proofread all draft and final draft of
all outlined article content in my publication this way I can ensure that this is outlined to the
context of the Press Complaints Commission if any is misleading an immediate statement would be
issue via all social media sites, direct email to the individual(s) and a re-draft and correction
to the publication would be made immediately.
Opportunity to Reply

● A fair opportunity for reply to inaccuracies must be given when reasonably called for.

In terms of my first regulation I have to make sure that a reasonable amount of time is given to
each individual(s) are given a suitable and sizeable amount of time to correspond to reply to the
publication of an article about the individual(s) that could be shall be part of the publication,
to regulate within the parameters of the regulatory body, I would intend on giving each person that
will be part of my articles a 13 week notice to the publication of their articles, all draft and
final publication draft would be given two week before the deadline and a two week response time
would given with a deadline of response to alter or decline the publication of the given article.
Privacy
● Everyone is entitled to respect for his or her private and family life, home, health and
correspondence, including digital communications.
● Editors will be expected to justify intrusions into any individual's private life without
consent. Account will be taken of the complainant's own public disclosures of information.

In terms of my first bullet point I have to make sure that privacy of each individual(s) is
protected, no phone or technological equipment would be allowed in the room without prior notice or
consent of the given individual being interviewed, this would ensure reasonable allowance between
both publication and individual(s) also data protection, any notice would need to be written a
signed by individuals, these would be recorded as liaison between each parties ensuring Privacy of
all involved in publication.

To ensure that my second bullet point is adhered again would ask that a file is made and signed by
all individual(s) with notice of higher position, all notice would be recorded and a file of all
evidence would be sent to the individual(s) telling them of all correspondence, and allowing time,
a letter would need to be justified with all requirements, and an immediate notice would need to be
displayed to regulatory bodies.
Intrusion into Grief and Shock
● In cases involving personal grief or shock, enquiries and approaches must be made with
sympathy and discretion and publication handled sensitively. This should not restrict the
right to report legal proceedings, such as inquests.

In terms of my first bullet point I have to make sure that any issue such as the grief and shock of
the individuals I am referring to is handled sensitively, all information shall be backed up with
direct source as to ensure that no misleading information is placed within the article, this then
makes sure that no further distress is brought against the individual, any further approaches
regarding this must still be made with sensitivity, or made through external links (family,
friends) but all notice must referred to the main source allowing them a correct source and giving
provided direction to the source.
Discrimination
● The press must avoid prejudicial or pejorative reference to an individual's race, colour,
religion, gender, sexual orientation or to any physical or mental illness or disability.
● Details of an individual's race, colour, religion, sexual orientation, physical or mental
illness or disability must be avoided unless genuinely relevant to the story.

In terms of my first bullet point I have to make sure that when referring to select people within
my article that it does not come across prejudicial, if in any terms of reference any reference to
feature of the individual (race, colour, religion, sexual orientation, physical or mental illness
or disability) must not be of primary focus, unless referring as the main source of the article,
this can be referred to as evidence and explanation to the distribution and accuracy of the
articles facts to the consumer by relaying through this method this ensures that the publication is
correct and accurate and is not discriminatory to any parties.
Formatt (Front Cover)
A Here you can see two these are the
primary choice I have come down to be
used for my opening (Front cover).

In reference to Image (A), the gentle

smile connotes a welcoming and suttle
feel to the magazine the body positioning
does look tense and not very smart, and
the over exposure (lighting) is making it
hard see.

In reference to Image B, this is my

primary option as the body seems more
natural and relaxed with hair being more
scruffy but more contextually correct to
the article I would intend to write about.

Overall both Images both convey a

seemingly presentable and smart
overview of the industry page, but my
open option being (B) has or seems more
appropriate due to the context and
presentation I plan to build around this

Explanation

In terms of my front cover for my magazine, I am going to cross different styles of the Q Magazine,
for my finale product the graphic listed is a draft of sort of kind of cover I am aiming at
creating it context of types of font, I am going to use Minion Pro as this is clear and
professional text that can be clear view but also stands out as context for the cover, In further
terms I am going use blocks to break down specific elements that will be included within my piece
so using rectangle, with the colour scheme of Red and whites, these colours both contrast with each
other, as listed I am also going to have my main image enlarged a serious focal as it identifies to
the audience what the article is about and the direction of the product.
