BFI Statistic year book

BFI STATISTIC YEAR BOOK 

After some research over genre in the BFI statistics year book 2014 it shows some interesting facts such as:

• Animation , Action and Comedy were the 3 most successful genres at the UK box office, with Romance, Documentary and War being the least popular at the UK box office.
• Sci-fi didn't reach the top three most successful but attempted to by releasing 422 films in the years 2013-2014.
• The top two films: Animation and Action released just 273 and 206 films. respectively. 

    This allows us to understand that even though more Sci-fi films were being made it is clear that more people enjoy animation more!

I then went to chapter 15 where I attempted to understand more about the audience viewing a specific genre.

• the largest age  proportion of cinema admissions were: 15-24 yr old (Hanger III was by far the successful with this age group)
• Django unchained , Fast and Furious 6 and Rush where the top 3 films for the 25-34 age group
• The most popular genres for men where : Thriller , Action and Comedy. For women it was: Documentary ( One direction movie)  and Animation.
• The over 50's enjoyed  a movie called "Quaret" which turned out to be a Comedy/ drama. 

It is clear that the preferred genre for the audience aged 7-14 is animation has two of the top three films in that year viewed by that age group was: Wreck it Ralph and Despicable me 2. Due to the fact that it is typically the ages between 35-44 that are mothers and fathers who would bring their younger child to watch a movie, the age group's popular films were: Frozen, The Croods and Jack the Giant Slayer. 

• UK genre of films that appealed more to audience was: Comedy, Crime and Drama. However if we go into detail London viewers liked movies like: Django Unchained, Fast and Furious 6 and gravity with  the Scottish audience liking movies that featured " home grown talents" such as: Sunshine on Leith , Filth and Star Trek.
