I nternet has taken over. Print is no more. Everything is seen through the square screens now and the market for magazines is certainly declining according to a recent survey, done by myself in the streets of Essex. The questionnaire was about the magazine market, using Total Film magazine as the object of questioning. Total film has been around since 1997 and is one of the UK’s best film magazines, offering reviews, information about DVD’s and TV and features.
I hit the town of Chelmsford, targeting younger audiences within the student town. One I looked my target I ran over and began. The questionnaire started off by asking “are you interested in film” which were all answered yes. I had hit the jackpot. The next question was “have you heard about this magazine?”. Unsurprisingly, 90% of people said that they heard of it and the remaining 10% hadn’t. This tells me that this magazine is pretty successful and also popular within the film fanatics. This brings me to my next point of what the fans do to keep up with the latest news and film releases. 28% of people said that they watch trailers, and another 28% of people said they search on the internet, possible on the magazines or on YouTube. This tells me a lot of the fans go on the internet for their information and would go straight to the internet to find the information out. However, this is just based on Total film and could be different for competing film magazines. A quarter of the people I surveyed said that they go

Looking at where the company is in the market place, the cinema exhibition business segment has reached maturity (Reading International, 2013). Reading International will be looking towards improving their current cinemas to achieve more growth as well as developing niche-type of cinemas in selected markets and also procuring additional properties that contain existing cinemas. The objective behind these strategies is to attract more customers. Currently, Reading International targets several key groups of consumers by running various promotions across each country; school children are targeted with the ‘Early Bird’ promotion, students are targeted with ‘Terrific Tuesday’, working professionals with ‘Friday Flicks’, couples with ‘Steer & Beer’ restaurant ‘combo’ deals, families with ‘Spit the Dummy’, elderly with senior discounts, and general movie enthusiasts can sign up for the ‘Reel Club’. It appears that these consumers have been segmented on the basis of demographic grouping. What Reading International needs to be aware of however, is that there is a whole new generation of consumers that will have an effect upon how Reding International’s customers should be grouped over the next couple of years. This generation is known as the Net-Generation (N-Gen), and should
The magazine Ladies Repository: A Monthly Periodical Devoted to Literature, Arts, and Religion is a magazine that was published in 1800 and was targeted towards young women. The magazine was a way to help teach and encourage women of the time on how to properly fit in and behave according to the rules that society had placed on them. It taught them how to be considered an ideal, cultured woman with high morals and spiritual standards. Although many readers today would argue that the teachings and ideas taught by this magazine are extremely outdated and outrageously sexist, one must realize that this was society’s standard for women during the 1800’s.
Although cinema is now a priority, some feel as if cinema is no longer the cinema when it was first established. Movies no longer have that special feeling like viewers once had. Today, films are not only shared within a theater, if one pleases they could always have the same experience elsewhere. Moreover, with technology expanding, it takes away the importance cinema once had. “The
There are a lot of excellent significant landmarks that can be commemorated by a coin by the colonial Williamsburg foundation; but here are the four structures that are worthy of being commemorated: The Bruton Parish Church, the Capitol, the Governor's Palace, and the Magazine. Commemorate means to honor a certain place or a person. All these structures are important, but the most significant structure to commemorate is clearly the Magazine. According to my research, the Magazine is the best choice because it succeeds all of the goals it has to meet, it has a lot of historical significance, it is relevant to citizens today, and it has a connection to the mission statement “The future may learn from the past.”. The paragraphs below will explain
The costs, methods of distribution, and themes of Hollywood and Nollywood films reflect strongly their target audiences; how the target audience affects the production of a film and how the production of a movie is designed to capture a specific
Motion pictures are a key driver of the market for entertainment products, one of the largest export markets in US. Motion picture industry consists of three stages: studio production, distribution, and exhibition. The studios produce the lifeblood of the industry, the films that are its content. The biggest players at this level are the majors, big studios which integrate production and distribution, as do the slightly smaller mini-majors. The next stage is distribution. Distributors are the intermediaries between the studios and exhibitors. Distribution entails all steps following a film’s artistic completion including marketing, logistics, and administration. Distributors coordinate the manufacture and distribution of

I open up the “hottest” teen magazines on the market; Allure, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, and Teen Vogue are a few at the top. As I flip through the magazine this holiday season I see pages of clothes that only the rich can afford, pictures of half-naked people draped over each other, articles about horoscopes and editorials talking about which teen star is the sexiest. Fashion, makeup, men, sex, celebrities, and exercising are the most popular topics I see as I peruse these magazines. These popular magazines take no time to tell me how beautiful I am, but only tell me the hundreds of things I need to do to improve. They tell me that I need more new, expensive makeup to look like a movie star. These magazines teach me how to seduce a man, but
This paper will examine the advantages of psychological testing for current and future police officers and firefighters. Both the fire and police services put the men and women who have chosen these professions, in situations that the majority of the population will never see. What do these situations do to a person and their mental health? What does it take to be mentally fit to perform the job and deal with the stressors on a daily basis? These are the questions that departments and training academies need to address as they seek out their new recruits. These professions are ones with many highs and many lows, little sleep at times, along with very physical demands on a daily basis. The totality of these demands can place handicapping mental stressors on our emergency service workers. Psychological testing can be one way in which instability can be identified before it affects those on the job. This type of testing can also assist with identifying Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which can occur even after many years on the job. Through research and collected data we will examine this testing procedure which can save many emergency workers from the disastrous effects of too many traumatic scenes.
About 100 German-speaking families in East Toledo came together and requested the formation of a parish, separate from Saint Mary on the west side of the Maumee River, and thus the Sacred Heart of Jesus parish was built. A fire destroyed the frame of the church in 1900, and the building was replaced with a Romanesque church with a 185-foot spire and two turrets. To avoid debts, the parishioners did not furnish the church immediately, opting instead to use simple chairs and minimal decorations. The stained-glass windows were added in 1906, new pews and two new confessionals in 1915 and 1917, and art glass windows and handcrafted, carved Stations of the Cross from Germany in 1920 and 1921 (209).
