What days do audiences go to the cinema?

A lot of people go to the cinema are Friday and Saturday as most people are not working on the weekends. So most people go to the cinema as they have more free times. This is why a lot of special offers for cinema  are during the week for example meckat movies 2for 1 on a Tuesday. This is trying to increase the use of the cinemas during the week. The use of the cinema also increases when a big blockbuster is realsesd as lots of people want to see it this can mean people can go to the cinema any day of the week.

When and where are most audiences likely to go to the cinema?

A lot of people go to the cinema on a Friday evening after work as like a end of the week treat or on a date. Families often go to the cinema during the day on Saturday and Sunday with their family as a treat. Teenagers often use the cinema in the afternoon with their friends or with their boyfriend/ girlfriend. Older teenagers and younger adults will often use the cinema in earlier to later evening for things like dates.

2. Chelmsford Everyman= This shows less mainstream films like Hidden figures however does show mainstream films as well like the Zootropolis. This means they have a smaller target aduince there tickets are also £13.30. This expernice is very different as you order bigger food and drinks which include alcohol and you can then have waiter service which gives the cinema a higher class feel and the ticket price represents.   
3. The private cinema company = This shows small independent films. This has a very small target audience. I couldn't find the price of these tickets. I believe this company shows very small films and you bring your own food and sit on a chair and watch the film.

Coming down the mountain- analyse disability

Coming down the Mountain

Camera 

The camera looks down at Ben to make the audience feel like they have power over him. This poetry's him as weak. I believe this is because he has a disability which makes it look like just because he has a disability that he is a weak character. This is because the stereotype of someone of with  a disability is weak and unable to be a powerful character and needs someone to look after him.

Ben gives his brother power over him by also look up at him and agreeing with him. The camera angle also looks up at him which makes him look like he has power over him. This is empathising the idea that Ben needs someone to look after him and make deacins for him. This furthers the point that because he has a disability he is weak and unable to make descions or live without someone to make his choices for him.

Editing 

The transitions to look at Ben are slow. This is to show that it takes time to catch up with what is going on. This is to show that Ben takes time to catch up with what is going on. This is to further the the of porting his disability as meaning Ben is then unable  to keep up with what is going on.

Transitions are simple to show how even basic living is different when having down syndrome. This is used to show that even basic things like looking from one person to anther could be difficult. I believe this is showing us that Ben is conforming to the stereotype of someone with down syndrome. I think that the simple transitions also show us how simple Ben's life has to be to make sure he understands what is going on. I also believe that the simple transitions are used to show the audience how black and white a person's life with down syndrome is and that they stereotypical cope with complicated or different changes in they lives.

Mise en scene 

The opening shot is a bird eyes shot of the boys room. This shows Ben's side of the room as littered with toys that are brightly coloured. I believe they use bright colours to show Ben's mental age. I believe this as young child like brightly coloured toys as it excites them. I believe this shot is conforming to the stereotype of a person with down syndrome it also shows the audience that they is something different with one of the characters without seeing him or hearing them speak.

Ben is holding is rucksack as if it was a teddy. This could be that he always needs some kind of comfort. It could also be to highlight the fact that he is not normal as it is not on his back or on his shoulder like most people would wear it. This could be to show that he doesn't really blend into a normal society. I believe it is done to show the audience that because he has a disablitly he can not act like a normal member of society not matter how simple that way is like the way of carrying his bag.

Sound

The music throughout the clip was very childish due to lack of words or meaning in the sound. I believe this is done to show that his what Ben would listen to due to his disability he is unable to understand the music other people his age would listen to. This could be to show the audience that because he has a disablilty he can not act like a normal child his age due to his lack of understanding.

The music is quite a simple beat. I believe this is done to empathises the point that Ben is not as mentally capable as other people his own age due to his disability. I believe that the music was used to give the aduience a negative opion on Ben and only see his disability as the music used does not help give any of his personality and only represents his disability not him as a person.
