How do you find out about a film?

I usually find out about a film through the advertisement in  TV ad breaks. Another way is through social media. This can have a huge influence on todays society as most people are on social media every day. 


What makes you want to see a film?

If I have seen a similar film with some of the same actors. Many people watch a film because they like the actors that act in it.


How do you know what to expect from a film?

The trailer is a huge giveaway usually. There is also hints such as the front cover, film poster and the title of the film.


What are you paying for when you buy a cinema ticket or buy/rent a film?

You are putting money into the cinema, the workers in the cinema and the film company.




Where do you watch films? At home? At the cinema?

I prefer to watch films at home rather than at the cinema, this way you can stretch out and do what ever. Its also a lot cheaper as you can  re-watch the film that you have. You also save alot of money as you don't have to pay for massively overpriced food and drink. 


Do you think that there are differences between watching a film in a cinema and watching it at home on a DVD? If you think there are, then what are they?

Sometimes, it depends on the film. Some films have a 3D effect on and in the cinema they really emphasize this and make everyone wear glasses to embrace this, you dont really get the same feeling at home. 




Are there some films that you HAVE to see at cinema or doesn't it matter?

Yes, there are some films that are a must see. For example the new bond films. This generation especially have grown up in what i believe to be the best bond era and the story is still developing and it only going to get better. I will 100% be going to watch the new one when it comes out. 




What do you understand from the word Industry?
From the word industry I think of all the different industries around the world. For example the music industry, sports industry, film industry and the car industry.
