Chapter 4: Genre

- According to the UK box office, Animation (Despicable 2), Action (Iron Man 3) and Comedy (The Hangover Part 3)  was the 3 most successful genre's. On the other hand, War (Lore), Documentary (One Direction: This is us) and Romance (Give it a year) was the least popular at the UK box office

- During 2013/14 Comedy had the most films released which was 153 releases.

- During this period 33 Animated films were made.

- During this period 47 Action films were made.

Chapter 15: Audiences

- In the UK 15-24 year olds made up the largest proportion of cinema admissions in the UK.

- The Hangover Part 3 was the most successful with the 15-24 year olds age group.

- Sunshine on Leith (Musical Film) was the most popular for the 50 + age group.

- For men Captain Philips ( Thriller, Drama and Biography) was the most popular film and genre.

- For woman One Direction: This is us ( Documentary) was the most popular film and genre.

- UK films mostly appealed to the male audience aged between 15-24.

- One Direction: This is us, Wreck-It Ralph and Despicable Me 2 was the 3 most popular films for the 7-14 year old. This tells me that kids from 7-14 years old prefer animation and documentary genre.

- Frozen, The Croods and Jack & The Giant Slayer was the 3 most popular films within the 34-44 age group. The reason being for this is because all three of these are animation genres, this tells me that the ages between 34-44 is the ages which parents mainly have kids and the reason being for these films to be popular for that age group could be the fact that they take their kids cinema.

- Django Unchained, Fast and Furious 6 and Rush was the 3 most popular films for the 25-34 age group.

- For C1 audience (middle class audience): Rush, Captain Phillips and Gravity was the most popular films for the C1 middle class audience.

- For C2 audience (middle class audience): O2 the great and powerful, Fast and Furious 6 and Despicable Me 2 was the most popular films for the C2 middle class audience.

- The differences I came up with the popular films in London and Scotland is that the audience at London mainly enjoyed, Thriller and Western genre. Whereas the audience at Scotland mainly enjoyed Comedy and Action genres. This shows me that there are always difference in audience at different areas.
