Journalism Response: Movie Lecture

The lecture over movies was very interesting. I had no idea how complicated the movie industry was until this lecture. I also learned quite a bit of information about the importance of movie theaters and how actually going to a theater is much different than watching movies on Netflix or On-Demand at home.

This lecture made me want to go out to see a movie and have the immersive experience of physically going to a theater. This lecture also reminded me about how there are huge social aspects to physically going to a movie theater that you do not get from just sitting on the couch.

I found it kind of sad but not surprising how movie theaters are losing their audiences because of TV and new companies like Netflix.

I didn’t specifically know what made movie theaters so much different than movies at home until this lecture so that was interesting. I didn’t really think about the distinct differences between watching a movie at home and watching one at a theater, but I learned that movie theaters make the overall movie a special occasion. Movie theaters have 3D/color effects, large screens, sophisticated sound, uninterrupted/dark environments, and specific content that make for a more not only immersive, but overall enjoyable experience.

So I found this lecture very educational and fun to listen to and learn about.
