Task 6

 10 cinemas in the UK.

  1.  Odeon: Shows the big blockbusters and all the mainstream films. This means they have a wide target audince. tickets range from £6.25 to £10.50. 
  2. Everyman: This shows fewer mainstream films like Hidden figures however they do show mainstream films as well like 'sing". This means they have a smaller target aduince there tickets are also £13.30.  
  3. The private cinema company:  They 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.
  4. Cineworld:  They show mainstreams and blockbuster films. This is the same as the Oden it has a large target audience. Ticket prices range from £10.00 to £12.00.  
  5. Billericay Community Cinema: They show small independent films.This has a very small target audience. ticket prices are cheap. You bring your own food, its more about the films not paying for overpriced food.
  6. Premire Cinemas:  They show mainstream blockbusters. They attract a large number of people. All they tickets are £4.00. 
  7. Vue cinema: They shows mainstream films so has a large target audience of all ages. There tickets range from £5,99 to £8.49. This is the same as most mainstream cinemas where you buy snacks and drinks then go into the cinema and watch the film.
  8. Rich mix: This shows independent films and community films. This means they target audience are smaller and likely to be films lovers. Ticket prices are £5.00 to £10.50.
  9. Prince Charles Cinema: This shows a mix of blockbusters and cult films. This means they is a range of people this will attract and tickets range from £4 to £11. 
  10. Genesis cinema:  They show a mix of mainstream and independent films. This is so they can attract the biggest audience. Tickets are £4.50 to £9.50.

Representation of Disablity

Representation of disability.

·      Mise En Scene
In the breakfast scene, the boy with down syndrome is said to take eight Weetabix. Weetabix is a plain simple breakfast material and is found in most people’s houses. The fact that Ben has eaten all the Weetabix shows how something so simple can become a dilemma when you live with someone who has a mental disability .

·      Camera  
In the opening scene, the birds eye view of the shared bedroom shows the contrast between “disability” and “normal”. Ben a boy with Down Syndrome’s side is bright, colourful and childish which represents vulnerability and immaturity. David on the other hands room is dull and simple, what you would expect of a typical teenager. This shot shows us how different the two children are.

There are multiple shots of Ben and David waiting at the same bus stop, they are wearing different clothes in each shot, meaning each shot takes place on a different day. This shows how time passes very slowly when you are looking after someone with a disability.

·      Editing
When Ben is on the bus the music, conversations and laughter are all edited loudly over the top of the Ben sitting on the bus. This Shows how scared Ben is and how he is trying to process so many different things going on at once. This helps to show the viewers what is it like to be nervous and scared of such a simple place like a bus.

·      Sound

The music choice for when Ben is told he must get the bus on his own, helps the viewer to empathise with ben and see how scared he really is of being alone. The music is slow and quiet and sets a sad theme to the scene.
