Introduction

 My Extended Project Qualification will be an informative video on how cinema attendance has changed over the past 100 years and why new technologies and piracy is affecting the billionaire dollar movie industry. I'll be gathering open response boxes on my survey to mostly peer groups, the youth. The youth are more associated with viewing movies in various different ways. An article in The New Post stated the average movie goer 'went to the theater eight times a year; last year, it was fewer than six. In particular, younger viewers are going to movies less often. Attendance per person for consumers ages 12 to 24 is down 40 percent since 2002'  

From this title, I'll be describing in my artifact the biggest competitors to cinemas and how they pose a threat on the silver-screen experience. New technologies is a common popular topic that comes up in conversation, where people are dumping their T.Vs and switching to internet services for viewing what they want and when they want; two options that haven't been made possible with television and cinemas. In addition, I'll also comment on the growing number of illegal torrent downloading. Torrenting becomes popular by the day like websites such as The Pirate Bay, which has currently surpassed a billion page views a month.


Website I used for my own Research

I consider myself to be a rather shy person and giving random strangers a pen and some paper to write their input was the last thing I wanted to do. Luckily, my mother mentioned a website called SurveyMonkey.com, a website where you can create your own questionnaire on the topic of your choice and can be sent quickly and efficiently to people via link.
Useful tool for primary research


In the process, I sent the link to the many social networks I own, so my followers could take about 5 minutes of their time to complete a survey consisting of 10 questions. I recommend it to anyone who need to create their own bit of research and, eventually, gather enough answers to conclude your study/artefact.
