Research and Planning: Film Magazine Story Inspiration

I have researched film magazines, in this case I specifically looked at Empire and Total Film. I wanted to see what type of stories they used, how they worded them and presented them. It seems like they use a word or couple of word to draw the audiences attention e.g. 'OSCARS SPECIAL!' the exclamation mark makes it seem importance so we are drawn to it and then look underneath and see big star names this would encourage the audience to purchase the magazine and read the stories inside. The cover is the biggest selling point in terms of the stories used, if they sound boring no one will be interested so it is important to make them interesting and attention grabbing.
