Audience theory

I asked a few of my friends to find out what people generally like in films...

Rachael
What films do you watch?
I love any chick flick which is easily watched. I also like comedy, anything by Quentin Tarantino and thrillers.

How often do you watch films?
I rarely have time to watch films as I usually have too much homework or am out but I try to watch a film a week.

Do you go to the cinema/ watch DVD’s/ rent etc.
I usually go to the cinema once a week as I can go cheaply on Tuesdays or Wednesdays as I am on Orange. I also enjoy buying films as they are also so cheaply available. I rarely rent films as a lot of the time its very expensive and cheaper to just buy the film.

What are the social factors?
I find films handy when I don’t know someone very well and I can just watch or film or if when I have a friend round it’s something to do.
