Film Futures Day Preparation (from Film Education)

Some suggested preparation for Film Futures Day 2. 


1).        Please access:
This will provide some background on the areas of discussion.

2).        Please look at Charles Gant’s weekly blog reporting on the weekend’s cinema attendance for the Guardian:

Series: Box office analysis: UK

Skyfall's supremacy and the dawn of Twilight reduce the rest to also-rans

As 007's latest outing goes from strength to strength, the arrival of the final Twilight film will do nothing to help the chasing pack
3).        Your own cinema attendance:
Do you go to see British films?   Independent films?     Foreign Films?
Please think about the last three or films that you saw at the cinema:
What made you see those particular films?
Are there any films that deliberately decided not to see at the cinema?  Why?
Do you pay attention to posters?   Trailers?   
Are there any that have been particularly engaging or influential?  Are there any that you liked/admired?
Have there been any that have discouraged you from seeing a film?
Are there films that you missed but wished you had seen at the cinema?
