Class Survey Conclusions

The results of our class survey show that I can conclude there is a higher number of American movies watched in comparison to English. There are quite a few reasons for this such as budget, this plays one of the main parts in the process of a movie being made which also determines how the movie can be recorded and produced. For example, American company's have much larger budget, so when recording big scenes such as stunt scenes the company can spend more money on making it more exciting and realistic looking as possible. The budget can also help the movie be advertised, with the budget of American movies, they can afford to advertise there movies in a variety of different ways. Such as longer trailers on TV, the internet and bilboards. Whereas a film company with a smaller amount of money on their budget would not be able to afford the advertisement that the larger company's can do. Most genre's were comedies or dramas, with a few animations, most animations were American which show how the budget of money effected what kind of film you can make.

Our class also did a survey on how people like to watch movies. The best way from our survey which was most popular was to watch movies at the cinema. People thought is very enjoyable since you are watching it on a large wide screen and the HD quality is better. Also you can have the choice of watching certain moveies in 3D or HD. However problems with watching it in the cinema is not being able to sit were you want sometimes, disturbing others for example going to the toilet, you can also not control what your watching whereas with a DVD or Sky, you can pause rewind and fast forward. DVDs were a good way to watch films as most of them now have speical edition and high quality blue ray disks. Another way of watching movies was through downloads either legal or illegal. The pros of watching downloads were you can watch it in your own time, it is cheap and sometimes free, and can save it so you can watch it again. Problems with downloading can effect the quality of the movie, there is no HD and the picture quality can be poor and smudged, because its either been recorded or fake illegal copy. New technology like Sky + allows people to record programmes or movies they've missed to be able to watch anytime, this costs a certain amount a month though and special HD techonlogy can cost extra on top of that monthly price. Also there is the bonus of being able to pause to have break within your own time, rewind if you've missed bits, fast foward to skip the bits you've seen and click onto a continue button if you havn't had time to watch it all at once.
