Jane (pictured) has been Editor since January, having acted in the role since last July. She has worked for the title, on staff and as a freelance, for more than a decade. As Editor-in-Chief, she will oversee all elements of the expanding brand – including print, online, Tablet and mobile editions, video and all other related Total Film brand properties.
Jane says: “It’s an amazing time to be editing Total Film, and spearheading the entire TF brand range is a tremendous, and exciting, challenge. We are thrilled with the reception to our iPad app, and technology of this kind is going to be the portal to unprecedented opportunities for us.”
Total Film’s iPad edition launched on May 11 built on Future’s own app-creation software, FutureFolio. Leading with an exclusive report from the set of The Dark Knight Returns, the iPad-only interactive content includes animated feature intros, picture galleries, full-screen movie trailers and shareable text.
Totalfilm.com, meanwhile, goes from strength to strength and, says Future, overtook Empireonline for the first time in December 2011, with 236,000 unique users – compared to Empireonline.com’s 235,000 – and 5.3 million page views to Empireonline.com’s 4.9 million [source: comScore].
Lee Nutter, Publisher of Total Film, says: “Total Film's continued growth through digital channels has exceeded our expectations both at home and internationally. Jane has been instrumental in driving this growth with the fantastic interactive iPad edition and will deliver further success for the brand in her new role.”
The Total Film Interactive Edition is available to download from www.totalfilm.com/newsstand. Each monthly edition is priced at £3.99. Film fans can also download a free sampler edition from the Total Film Container App now.
