Cinema Attendance

This graph shows the worldwide progression and decline of cinema attendance throughout the years. As the economy grew alongside the media it is clear that attendance began to grow from 1995 to 2004. However with the influx of the internet and other media types such as DVD rental from 2005 an uneven decline began. It is, however, significantly more attended than 1995 however with pirate sites that show newly released films for free, people are less inclined to spend money on cinema tickets. Illegal techniques used to watch the latest films for free is not a moral issue for most viewers as particularly in Britain, there has been a recession, in which jobs have been harder to find and the prices of most products has risen. An economic downfall appears to change the ethics of many people, who find that if films are available for free then they are entitled to watch them if they wish. 
There is a similar issue with the music industry as prices soar, the amount of illegal downloads does also.






Choosing a film genre to pursue is dependant on many factors, such as which are the most successful currently? From this chart, in the recent years, Contemporary Fiction has dominated nearly half of the top-grossing films. This type of film is a fictional premise which is neither wholly associated with adults nor children, therefore having a wide audience reception. Fiction and fantasy appear to be the most successful genre of films, which was used by my own film trailer idea however narrowed slightly by its main appeal to teenagers. These statistics are not shocking, as though out these years, films such as the Harry Potter series (which was the high-grossing franchise of all time) took the world by storm. This example supports the statistics shown in the table which infer that Fiction are the most successful films. Others such as the Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games and The Life of Pi.
