Home Movies Beat Theater Ones
It is quite a different experience to view a movie at home versus viewing it in a movie theater. Furthermore, there are positives and negatives associated with each of these viewing experiences. Nonetheless, an analysis of the benefits and drawbacks associated with each of these experiences, reveals that the more enjoyable experience lies in watching a movie at home.
Virtually the only advantage that watching a movie in a theater has over doing so at home pertains to the special effects. Theaters are equipped with a host of state of the art audio visual experiences to provide enhanced viewing experiences that are difficult to match in domestic settings. When one considers the 3D capabilities of movie theaters that can "provide an experience never before experienced in a theater" (Their, 2012) it is clear that these special effects are optimized for viewing in a theater, and are much less spectacular when viewing them at home.
Still, one of the more noticeable points of comparison between watching a movie at home and watching a movie on television is the audience. The crux of...
There are certainly instances in which watching a film in public can add to the experience because of a consensus of audience appeal and influence. Teenage audiences, for instance, might have similar responses to films that can add to the excitement and intrigue of a movie (Wilson, 2014). However, there are a host of other factors such as audience members talking over the film's audio, intruding upon a viewer's personal space, and engaging in illicit activities such as smoking or amorous advances which can detract from a movie simply because the audience was not selected by the viewer. When watching a movie at home one has much more control over the viewing audience, which results in less complications and lessens the impact of the crowd. Since there are more instances in which the crowd can negatively impact a movie in a theater than positively impact it there, the greater crowd control at home makes domestically watching a movie more advantageous.
Additionally, there is a familiarity and degree of comfort associated with watching a film at home that is difficult to match in an…

Movie production is one of the world's most enduring, exciting, and economically prosperous industries. Whether Bollywood or Hollywood, Bonnie and Clyde or Batman Returns, the film industry continues to rake in the dough and please a wide range of audiences. Chapter 6 of the text describes the origin of the film industry and its evolution and development. The authors also discuss the potential for film to influence cultural values as
Cain (afterward coupled by Mickey Spillane, Horace McCoy, and Jim Thompson) -- whose books were also recurrently tailored in films noir. In the vein of the novels, these films were set apart by a subdued atmosphere and realistic violence, and they presented postwar American cynicism to the extent of nihilism by presuming the total and hopeless corruption of society and of everyone in it. Billy Wilder's acidic Double Indemnity
Film Awards The film industry produces experience goods for consumer enjoyment and consumption, and substantively relies on consumer differentiation for the economic success of movies. Moviegoers appear to differentiate films primarily on the basis of genre, starring actors, exposure to promotion, recommendations from other moviegoers and film critics, and -- for the dedicated film buffs and connoisseurs -- directors, cinematographers, and even screenwriters associated with the film production (Albert 1998, De
Woody Allen's Annie Hall Music is hardly used at all throughout the course of Woody Allen's classic comedy film Annie Hall. Like the great Ingmar Bergman, a director that Allen has idolized throughout the course of his career, Allen chose to leave a music score out of the film altogether. Allen has always been known for his unconventional use of music in his films. He has never commissioned an original score for
Stage Lighting vs. Film Lighting For some people, lights are lights. When a production team has lighting to throw on a subject, and can control that light, it seems straightforward to the layperson. But the requirements for film as contrasted with the lighting needs for theatre are a world apart. This paper delves into both kinds of lighting, and explains the uses, advantages, and major differences. The Literature on Lighting Rick Shaw of
The first special screening I saw hits closer to home because it is about the BP oil drilling fiasco that occurred only last year. The Big Fix is a film by director Josh and Rebecca Tickell that documented the problems brought about by the largest oil spill in history. The film did not only center on the actual disaster but what went on behind the scenes. By exposing the
