Now that I have decided that my magazine is going to be like Total Film, marketing big budget Hollywood films I wanted to compile a list of names that may be appropriate but will also convey the type of films that it is talking about.
1) Popcorn- Popcorn is instantly associated with the cinema, in particular multiplex's. Popcorn implies a big budget Hollywood film from a recognisable genre.
2) Movie Magazine- Movie Magazine is direct and to the point (it is a magazine about movies). It uses the term movie rather than film which implies big budget Hollywood blockbusters rather than lower budget more serious films.
3) Ultimate Cinema- This name instantly implies Hollywood and main stream movies. However it may imply certain genres such as action or superhero movies rather than romantic comedies.
4) Celluloid- This is a word associated with film but it is not in common usage and I think it would be more suitable for a magazine that focuses on independent movies rather than those from Hollywood.
5) Silver Screen- This instantly suggests Hollywood but it has connotations of 1930's/40's and may not appeal to a younger modern audience who I would want to target with both my film and magazine.
6) Flicks/Flix- This is a slang word that suggests mainstream Hollywood films that are designed purely to entertain the audience.
7) Star- Hollywood films are dominated by A list actor and this name would indicate to the audience that the magazine will be dominated by Hollywood movies and their stars.
8) Film Genre- The majority of Hollywood films instantly fit into a specific genre (life mu film which is a conventional romantic comedy). I am worried however that people may not recognise the word or that they will associate it with more serious films rather than mainstream Hollywood movies.
