FILM MAGAZINE GLOSSARY

Below is a selection of media marketing words that will help me describe and analyse a film magazine front cover (part of a films marketing campaign). These words are especially useful when I analyse a selection of film magazine front covers and my own.
 
Cover lines : Information about major articles given on the front page of a magazine 
Left-side third: A lot of important information designed to attract potential readers is placed in the left-hand side vertical third of the front cover page. This is in case the magazine is displayed in a horizontal shelving system rather than a vertical one.
Masthead: The title of the magazine or newspaper. It is usually placed at the top of the front cover for display purposes
Puff: Words or phrases on the cover of a magazine used to boost status
Plug: Information about the contents of a magazine or newspaper given on the front cover
