NAMES FOR MAGAZINE

These are the names if have thought of for my film magazine. Whether my magazine is just a film magazine or specific to the horror genre will most likely be dependent on the name I choose.
Show reel
This name is the first one I thought of, I started to think of connotations of a film, and came up with 'reel' then added show to it. I think it’s a good name, it doesn’t specify it’s a horror magazine, but just a film magazine in general. By looking at this name, the film audience will be targeted and they will realise it’s a film magazine because Reel can only be associated with a film reel; this will grab the targeted audiences attention.

Horror reel
Similar to the `show reel' I changed the show to horror to make it specific to the horror genre. I am still deciding if I want my magazine to be on general film or just horror. If it is specific to the genre, this name will be perfect as it targets my audience perfectly for those who are looking to buy a horror magazine.

Action
This is a simple name, just an idea but too typical and boring.

Play
This also has the same effect as 'action' it’s not great, but just an idea.

Horrific
This name is interesting, horrific has the meaning of causing horror and by having that as a magazine name I can get a message across that by buying and reading this magazine, it will cause horror by the films mentioned and talked about inside, or even resulting in the audience wanting to see the film.

Horror
This is a simple title, easy and the target audience can automatically understand what magazine it is and what it specialises in. The genre is the title, therefore the magazine and what it’s about is self explanatory.

Lights camera horror
This name is from the saying 'Lights, camera, action', instead of the action, its horror. I changed the word to horror because it allows the genre to be slipped in and makes the magazine to be a specific horror magazine rather than a general film magazine. It would be a general film magazine if it was called lights camera action, or even in relation to the genre of action.
