What specific stuff would you want to read in a magazine based around movies?

Question

I am creating a magazine for a class project, and it will be based around movies. I need specific stuff to write about, and not celebrity gossip. I want real cinematic suggestions please. Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

This sounds so exciting - pity we wont really get to read this.

- I would like to see reviews and rating; from the editor and viewers (like editor might be a pro and viewers just bloggers, people leaving the cinema, a panel?)

- Set Crew details; a feature on what each set member does (best boy, grip boy, directors PA, costume designer, makeup,script writer, lighting, on-screen-extras, catering)

- Behind the scenes ; Actors, Directors, Crew (details like best thing about movie, this crew, the location, the script, the other actors, the problems, weird/crazy things asked for/wanted for or by an actor/director etc)

- Upcoming movies

- different features like Top Ten - Chick Flicks, Sci-Fi, Drama, Romance, Horror, of a particular year (1996?/2005?), Childrens Films, Nostaligic movies, Party movies, chill out session movies, sports movies, dancing movies, golden oldies... the list is endless

there is quite a bit more, but i'm sure you have a fair bit and these things may just be able to top you up.

Enjoy and Good Luck

Answer 2

I would like to read about how stories are developed, how they are written for the screen as opposed to, for example, writing a book, what the heck a grip does, what is a "best boy," and why great films can be made for very little money and horrible ones cost hundreds of millions.  For a start.

Answer 3

I would like to read such things as behind the scenes of a movie such as set location, plots, organizing scenes, weather problems, stunt scenes, costume, directors opinions, and just anything interesting that was related in making the whole movie. It's not gossip but what and how it took to put this movie together and get it to the screen.
