My magazine would have to be distributed in places that
are likely to catch potential readers’ eyes. As my target audience are adults,
the magazine would definitely be sold in traditional newsagents with other
magazines for those who browse there. Considering the genre, it would also be
sold in cinemas for those who are fans of films and frequent the cinema. There
wouldn’t be an app, as I don’t feel that my audience would be large enough to
benefit from the effort and cost it would take to create, but there would be QR
codes on some of the covers that lead to the magazine’s website, where articles
would be expanded on and polls would be available to take for those who are
interested.
A new issue would come out in the first week of every
month. When considering the age and habits of likely readers, my magazine would
definitely be up for subscription, because some of the older audience may find
it difficult to get out on a semi-regular basis.
According to research I have done, there was only one
other significant film score magazine in print in the noughties: Film Score
Monthly. This ceased publication in 2005 in order to further take advantage of
the newly advanced web and multimedia opportunities online. The magazine’s
website has an option for readers to download the latest issue for a cheaper
price than it would have been on paper. There are also pages mentioning parts
of latest general news to do with films. At one point, it was the most popular
website of all time, with fifty billion views a day across the world.
SCORE’s website would have an online gallery of all
previous front covers, and articles that are predicted to be the most popular
will be available to read in further detail online in order to benefit the
younger audience.
