NEA Task 8 : Research Into Existing Film Magazines For A Media Literate Audience

Little White Lies

Little White Lies is a British magazine company published 5 times a year by TCOLondon. A 1 year subscription for Little White lies begins at £28, whereas a 2 year subscription begins at £50. A typical front cover of Little White lies includes an illustrated main image of the film (usually including the actor) in the center, with the masthead in a white circle in black typography above. On most covers the coverlines are limited and they will usually focus on the most relevant and important film during that time of publishing as the front cover. The colour scheme for the magazines are broad as they follow the colour scheme related to the film at that time. They do have a website, Little White Lies - Movie Reviews and Articles (lwlies.com) , which includes reviews, membership, features and podcasts.








Film Stories

Film stories is funded and founded by cinema fans. It is published 12 times a year (once a month) and costs a £29.99 subscription for 6 issues, however one copy typically costs £3.99. A typical front cover of Film Stories has a main image dominating the page, usually of the film that is most relevant at the time of publishing, with a masthead of 'FILM STORIES' at the top. Additionally, the main image may overlap this, which suggests they have a strong brand identity. There is a lot of empty space around the focus of the main image (also usually an actor) which is filled with coverlines of stories featured within the contents of the magazine. Film Stories does have a website, Film Stories , where audiences can find news, reviews, features and podcasts.








Sight and Sound

Sight and Sound is a British film magazine, founded in 1932 and published monthly by the British Film Institute. Subscriptions for the Sight and Sound film magazine begin at £50 for 12 issues, however one copy typically costs £6.50. A typical front cover for Sight and Sound includes a masthead in (usually) yellow typography. Additionally the colour of the main coverline would typically match the colour of the masthead. Similar to Film Stories they have a lot of empty space around the actor featured as the main image which usually holds information about the contents of the magazine. Sight and sound does have a website, Sight and Sound - BFI | BFI , where audiences can watch and discover, shop, become a member and more.
