What do they have in common?

With the films I have chosen there isn't actually that much in common overall. There is a mixture of dramas, comedies and true stories. One similarity between the comedies is that they are all the same stupid, relaxing comedy that you don't always need to be completely focused on while watching it. This is why I enjoy them so much I can put them on in the background and you can still enjoy the film and not get confused or lost in the story line.

How do you find out about a film?

I usually find out about a film through my friends or family, or if its a large mainstream film I will usually find out about it through TV adverts or the adverts before I watch a film at the cinema.

What makes you want to see a film?

The actors play a large part in whether I want to see the film, for example if a film has Jonah Hill or Tom Hardy in it I would usually like to watch it as I have enjoyed the other films I have seen them in. Another reason that makes me want to watch a film due to the kind of film it is or if the trailer makes it seem appealing.

How do you know what to expect from a film?

The trailer gives an idea of what to expect from the film I am going to watch, another thing that gives me an idea is if people I know go to watch it. I am usually curious about how the film is and that is how I get an idea of what to expect from the film.

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

I am expecting to get my moneys worth and have an enjoyable experience watching the film,

Where do you watch films?

I usually watch films in my room on Netflix or somewhere else on the internet, usually putlocker.

Are there some films you have to see at the cinema?

Not particularly I usually just wait for them to come out on DVD or on the internet, but for some films such as the new star wars I will have to watch in the cinema.  

How many industries can you name?

Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, Paramount, Disney, Lionsgate and MGM.
