Advantages Of Watching Movies At Home

Decent Essays
For several decades watching movies has been considered to be one of Americas past times. In the past, if people wanted to see a movie, the only place they could see it was a movie theater. Today, TV providers allow their customers to watch movies at the comfort of their own home. Although a person might be watching the same film, watching movies at a theater or at home are two considerably different experiences.
First and foremost, at a movie theater, a person will primarily notice its features: projector, sound, and comfort. These are features that improve every year to keep appealing to their audience. The theater’s main component is the big screen. The big screen provides a high definition picture that can be experienced either in the second, third, or IMAX dimensions. Additionally, the sound system at the movie theater enhances the movie’s sound during different times of the film, which help create suspense. Last but not least, movie theaters try to make their audience as comfortable as possible. They provide cushioned, reclinable, leveled seating and even have massage chairs that make their audience feel like they are a part of the movie.
On the other hand, at home individuals adjust exactly how they want

This just expresses the big differences in which why people choose the option they choose. The methods of watching a movie at a movie theater or at home have huge differences regarding features, prices, and intermission, but the content of the movie will always be the same. Just like every other aspect in life people prefer to watch movies in many different ways, and the location just happens to be one of those aspects. Movies have been a source of entertainment for a very long time and regardless of whether it is enjoyed at a movie theater or in the comfort of a person’s home, movies should always be enjoyed around people’s loved

    In the article, “Why You Should Go to the Movies (and Do Other Stuff) Alone,” by Jesse Singal, is about the fears a lot of people have of being spotted in public alone. Everyone who is alone out there has a guideline of what not to do but new research may prove them wrong. In my opinion, I feel being alone only matters on how you feel about yourself and how the world sees you. Scientist have done five experiments over the years to prove that going out alone isn't as bad as many people say, but I still feel that no matter how you go, people will still judge you. To me the only way to actually have fun is with a group of your closest friends because people will see the sheer number of friends and not bother you.…

    When I wrote my post, I was looking at the price discrimination of movie theaters as a negative for people that work normal business hours of 9-5. I didn't give any thought to the fixed income senior citizens that benefit by going to matinee at a low cost. Each individual will look at this scenario differently, this is probably a very debatable subject. I still feel that if movie theaters were to charge the lower cost for all times and ages, that they would recoup this in concession stand sales. Do you agree with this statement?…

No longer was film the top source of visual entertainment, but it now had another medium with which to compete—television. Some of the biggest studios in the 1950s teamed up with network television companies to get a foot into the door of the television field.…

    Super Screen Case Study

    The takeaways I have from this memo is that Super Screen's attendance went down, but in select movies, there were mostly positive reviews. Super Screen should then look further into why its company took a dip in attendance, first and foremost. It could be a symptom of the declining film industry. If there were positive reviews in its movies, then it may not be a lack of awareness by the viewing public. With the advent of direct download, on-demand content and improvements in home entertainment, is it a surprise that people would rather trade high-priced popcorn and $12 dollar tickets for home cooking and convenience.…

The content of the movie is important to sales because that is what determines if you'll make a profit or not.

    The films in today’s society leave nothing to the imagination. The viewers are given a visual of each character and can see their facial expressions throughout the movie. The down fall when watching a film is that the audience cannot hear the character’s thoughts. When they cannot read their thoughts on the page in front of them, it is hard to figure out their reasoning and personality.
