Digital News - Research into Digital News shows

Screen Junkies

Screen Junkies is a youtube channel which hosts various shows to do with film and television today. They provide the latest news and reviews on a multitude of content from the big screen and the small screen. Some of the shows are just a bit of fun and a laugh, such as honest trailers where they take a film/television series, new or old, and make a mockery of it, picking holes wherever they can. However they also bring up more newsworthy topics such as the new Deadpool 2 director and what is known about other upcoming films.


It was this show (as well as others such as CinemaSins) that gave me the idea of creating a show around cinema and television. I wanted to focus on the biggest films as well as smaller, lesser known films. I wanted to follow the idea of setting the show in a small studio room with sofas and films posters etcetera to give it a more relaxed and informal feel while still keeping it informative.

There are a number of interviews with actors and actresses about their latest film and they get a lot of background and behind the scenes to these films. This was not what I was looking to follow as access to behind the scenes footage would have been difficult to come by and finding someone to give us background to a film that is yet to be released would have also been difficult to organise.
