Conclusion of survey

Conclusion to class survey
The majority of films watched by the students in our class choose to watch films that are either comedy or action, this is because the target audience for these sort of films is people of our age.
You can also take from the survey that American films seemed to be most popular, mainly because these productions have larger budgets and attract bigger stars to appear in them.
Depending on the stars in the film affects the choice of viewing due to the fact people would rather watch films with actors they have previously seen and enjoyed.
Something else that we could draw from our survey is that certain ways of generating interest gets the attention of the students in our class. The main being trailers on television, youtube, and cinema. Also through word of mouth.
The films being watched by our Media class have a target audience for people of our age. This is the case because the content of these films is directed at our age category.
The most popular way of watching films seemed to be at the cinema. However due to the fact of it being the summer holidays, people would probably have more time to use the cinema whereas usually they would watch on DVD or downloads (Ilegally/Legally).

Pros and cons to different ways of watching films
The students in our class raised many points of why different ways of watching the films are better or worse. The majority of people say that the experience of going to the cinema adds extra quality to the film than it would watching any other way. On the other hand, distractions in the theatre can take away enjoyment from the film. Also, the price of cinema tickets can be a put off for some people.
A few students say that they often download movies from the internet. An obvious flaw to this would be the overall quality of the picture/sound. However, not having to pay for the film and sometimes getting pre-release viewings seem to be very appealing to these students.
When discussing watching films on DVD/TV it was clear to see that a positive was being able to pause when wanted, fast forward adverts and adjust volume accordingly. To contrast, the students raised the point that watching films at home sometimes does not have the same atmosphere as the cinema. Also, the costs of some DVDs seemed to cause problems throughout the class.
