Summary

Cinema has a huge influence in today’s society and people need to know more background knowledge on the type of content they are viewing. Most popular movies consist of ideologies that were created by major film industries to change the way we act in our society, influencing the different belief systems we grow to identify with. This project will begin with observational research by reviewing data on different genres of film. It will study what large companies or corporations do to make their movies successful by correlating the box office performance to the film’s critical acclaim. The research will be based on what elements or ideologies entertainment companies implement into their films that resonate with their audiences through cultural relevance and narrative techniques. The content analysis process will begin with categorizing what the overall goal or agenda of the film is. Then the second process of this project will analyze media and text by looking at the ratings, reviews, revenues, ideologies, and agendas of the selected films. Using a hybrid or mix between coding qualitative data will measure the quality of what is meaningful in the research and quantitative data to figure out the correlation and result of the research.
