Term Two Holiday Tasks

Hi everyone!


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.  :)
