TRENDS & MY PATTERNS OF CONSUMPTION

We practised writing about this, the final bullet point in the specification outlining G322 section B (see below). We integrate our response about national trends and our our consumption. You made your own notes.

Major online Indie film distribution platforms for uploading content:
Consumers as producers
Web 2.0
iTunes
BitTorrent Bundle
Vimeo on Demand

Platforms for home screenings as consumers continue to migrate towards online platforms:
Netflix 
Amazon Prime
BBC iPlayer
BBC Britbox for US audiences 
Mubi
Home cinema
Other platforms that you prefer

But we also go to the cinema
for the wide screen, Dolby surround sound
for 3D experiences (name the film & say why you chose cinematic exhibition: e.g.Fantastic Beasts, Arrival, Star Trek Beyond, Rogue One)
for the social experience.

Cinema attendance is robust with figures for 206 holding up, only slightly down on the previous year at 2.6 times a year per head nationally.
At the BFI study day, Rob Kenny, director of operations for Curzon, told us of his plans to open 50 more screens in the next five years. Curzon's USP: screenings tailored to engage diverse audiences, Curzon Artificial Eye as distributor, special events.
