Media Task 3 updated final presentation.
- 1. Mindscape A psychological film-basedmagazine by Charlie Williams
- 2. Purpose of mymagazine ● One of the purposes of my magazine is to make sure people are aware of how common psychological issues are around North London and to talk about the reality of psychological issues and how psychological thriller movies can sometimes be someone’s reality. ● Another purpose is to promote an independent film that is being produced by Cinecloud Pictures. ● The genre is also really popular, so I thought that it would be a good magazine to produce in order to gain and maintain a good audience and a growing audience for the future.
- 3. Form and genre Iwill aim for my magazine to be shorter than others, only 36 pages. My magazine will also have a red, black and dark blue colour scheme and will be made and printed on coated paper. I will also have an online presence through the use of my app called Mindscape, where all new and old issues will be there every week to download for £4.99 The genre of my magazine is psychological and not only thrillers but the feeling and issues too. Many people experience psychological issues in real life and these films and my magazine can put people in the perspective of someone who may be struggling.
- 4. Content My magazine willcontain a striking and eye-catching cover image to entice anyone who may see it. The title will read Mindscape in bold, large letters which highlights the main theme of the magazine and it will then contain a table of contents. One of my sections will be interviews with actors who have played such tough roles and they will describe how it affected them and what they learnt from such a daunting and intimidating role there are actors in the past who have had suicidal thoughts after being so committed to a mentally ill character. Throughout my magazine , there will be various QR codes that will lead to helplines for any mental or psychological issues anyone may be going through My magazine will also be priced at £4.99
- 5. My magazine willbe based on the film ‘Translucent’ and the North London film studio producing the film is magazine. The film release I am promoting and the North London film company producing it The North London film studio producing this film is Pebble Studios.
- 6. Target audience The primarytarget audience for my magazine will be people aged 16-24 as the film will be aimed at young adults. My secondary target audience will be adults aged 30-50. They may also be interested in the magazine as it analyses not only the genre but also the effect of mental illness too. It will also be aimed at both genders because both will enjoy the magazine from their point of view. My targetted class will be lower and middle as they may be more associated with mental illnesses, whether it's them or anyone they know. Whereas some upper-class may want to steer away from the subject.
- 7. Streaming services I amusing Disney+ and the up-and-coming service ‘Swipe’ because the genre of the film settles in nicely on both of them as they both have many thrillers, horrors and psychological films

- 9. Resources and personnel 1. Formy magazine, I will need resources and personnel to make a high-quality magazine. 2. For example, I need resources such as renting a good camera and laptop to reach the highest quality possible for my magazine. I will also need coated paper as that’s the material of paper I will be using. 3. My magazine will also use personnel. I will need a photographer, models and stylist who will help me convey the emotion and theme of the magazine. I will also need an editor, graphic designer and writer to create the best possible script and appearance for my magazine.
- 10. Distribution and marketing methods Thedistribution and marketing methods I will use will be very important to promote my magazine and reach my target audience. I will use direct sales as my distribution method. I will partner with large shops and bookstores such as WHSmith, Tesco, and Sainsbury’s so that my magazine will be on shelves where it will be seen. For marketing, I would use content marketing, which is where customers know that my magazine will be the go-to place to find more content and information on a topic like my magazine and the film release it is promoting. I will also offer online subscriptions through my magazine's website with options to print copies as well.

- 12. Mood board This wasmy mood board which describes my magazines style and content
- 13. Existing magazines incompetition This magazine is a competitor because it is the world's number one horror magazine and psychological thrillers can fall under horror so many people may turn to popular magazines. This is also another competitor as it also falls under the wide range of psychological/horror genre.
- 14. Article ideas ● Oneidea is a section is discussing how filmmakers create suspense, which will look at how filmmakers manage to create tension and suspense in psychological thrillers. ● Another idea is to discuss cinematography, which is one of the most vital parts of the creation of a good-quality psychological thriller ● Another idea is talking about the genre's evolution from early cinema to the latest hits, highlighting key directors and showing films that defined and influenced the genre and cult classics ● Another idea is deep diving into character case studies which analyses classic psychological characters such as Hannibal Lecter, Norman Bates, Patrick Bateman etc. and exploring their character I can show what made them so good.
