Congratulations surviving Term Two! I've seen some really strong work in filming / editing and all-round producing of your group assignments. Well done!
And since you did that so well, let's do this:
1. Survey-
Conduct a survey, with the goal of ascertaining film consumption patterns
- Survey should involve at least 40 randomly selected people (not your family!)
- Make it easy on yourself! Construct a chart that allows you to poll a small group simultaneously rather than one individual at a time!
- Taking the survey should take between 2-5mins at most. Let people know that.
Data for each person polled should include, but are not solely restricted to:
- Age
- Preferred genre
- Estimated number of movies watched per year
- Estimated number of times they watch those films at a cinema
- Names of top three most frequented cinema establishments
- Most recent movie seen
If film-watching normally takes place at home, do they generally:
- Watch film from start to finish, no breaks
- Watch film with short breaks (get water, answer door, etc)
- Watch film with longer breaks (please specify break length and reason)
It could also be a good idea to find out about people's use of LightBox / Netflix / DVD / other forms of home-viewing including illegal download.
2. Coursebook Activity 3.2
Details of this activity are on page 140 of your course books.
Text asks you to collect cinema listings for "five multi-screen cinemas in a specific region". We will do four, not five; we will collect those listings from the following establishments:
- Rialto
- Lido
- Bridgeway
- Event Cinemas
Finally, I said there would be a film extract or two for us to analyse. We're not doing that. Having reviewed the above, I think that is quite enough for this term's study break.
See you in a few weeks. :)
