American Cinematographer is an American film magazine that is published monthly. It is unlike the publications I have previously looked at because this publication focuses on the art and craft of cinematography, as well as covering domestic and foreign feature productions, television productions, short films, music videos and commercials. It also emphasises its interviews on cinematographers, directors, producers etc. Articles discuss technical how-to pieces, discussions of tools and technologies that affect cinematography, and historical features.
The front cover of American Cinematographer also highlights the differences it has with Empire and Total Film. It has traditional conventions such as a masthead at top of cover, with it being the biggest font, and a main cover line being bigger than all other line, which is attributed to the dominant central image. The cover also includes other traditional conventions such as a slogan, bar code, date etc.
