Potential Magazine Names

As I have decided that my magazine will be a mainstream special horror edition, I am going to complete a list of potential names and comment on its suitability.

Red Carpet

As one of films most recognisable icon associated with big Hollywood Blockbusters and A-List film stars. Therefore I feel this name would be appropriate for a mainstream magazine as it reflects Hollywood and the film empire.

Tinsel Town

'Tinsel Town' is a nickname for Hollywood, suggesting glamour and mainstream films. This would work well as a magazine name as it would be part of a 'special edition' feature.

Flix

Flix is a slang' word for movies and brings to mind the kind of films people would see at a multiplex; Again would be appropriate for a mainstream type of magazine.

Movie

Since the word 'movie' is most commonly recognised worldwide, it would suit the magazine for an all-rounded audience as they would know what it would include and would seem user-friendly.

Ultimate Film

The word 'ultimate' suggest it covers the best and biggest films. Therefore it implies it covers Big Budget Hollywood films.


Film Star

Again this implies mainstream Hollywood films as Hollywood is dominated by stars.

Genre

This would immediately relate to Hollywood as genre would normally be associated with Hollywood films. Whereas British or independent films may be more specific. This could also indicate potential special edition focusing on specific genres.

Mainstream

This one speaks for itself, dealing with mainstream films.

Projection

Although this could be related to mainstream films, it would tend to apply to more classic / independent films.

Zoom

Short and punch, referencing film might be good if it was a magazine to focus on action films.


Jump Cut
 I really like this name, however the name 'jump cut' was insinuate the breaking on continuity and a breaking Hollywood rules.

Box Office

Most commonly related to cinema, the box office os the central 'hub' of film. Therefore would be a potential name for an all rounded film magazine.



Dissolve

Another film term, though readers might not instantly recognise this
Montage
