book		At the picture show : small-town audiences and the creation of movie fan culture / Kathryn H. Fuller London: University Press of Virginia, 1996. Call No: 410.1:465.2 FUL Author: Fuller, Kathryn H. Source: US/UK Place: Charlottesville; London Publisher: University Press of Virginia PubDate: 1996 PhysDes: 248 p. : 23 cm Subject: AUDIENCE RECEPTION; AUDIENCES; AUDIENCES USA; FAN MAGAZINES; EXHIBITION; EXHIBITION. USA; EXHIBITION OF SILENT FILMS; NICKELODEON Summary: Although the transformation of the movies into big-time entertainment had multiple sources, Kathryn Fuller argues that ultimately the maturation of the film industry depended on the support of both urban and rural middle-class audiences. Providing the fullest portrait to date of the small-town audience’s hanging habits and desires, At the Picture Show demonstrates for the first time how a fan culture emerged in the United States, and it enriches our understanding of mass media’s relationship to early twentieth-century American society.

Online resource book		Audiences : defining and researching screen entertainment reception / edited by Ian Christie Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2012. Available at OAPEN (open access) Call No: 410.3 AUD Place: Amsterdam Publisher: Amsterdam University Press PubDate: 2012 PhysDes: 332 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm. Series: Key debates ; 3. Subject: AUDIENCE RECEPTION; AUDIENCE RESEARCH; AUDIENCES; SOCIETY AND THE CINEMA; EXHIBITION; BOX OFFICE Summary: "This timely volume engages with one of the most important shifts in recent film studies: the turn away from text-based analysis towards the viewer. Historically, this marks a return to early interest in the effect of film on the audience by psychoanalysts and psychologists, which was overtaken by concern with the 'effects' of film, linked to calls for censorship and moral panics rather than to understanding the mental and behavioral world of the spectator. Early cinema history has revealed the diversity of film-viewing habits, while traditional 'box office' studies, which treated the audience initially as a homogeneous market, have been replaced by the study of individual consumers and their motivations. Latterly, there has been a marked turn towards more sophisticated economic and sociological analysis of attendance data. And as the film experience fragments across multiple formats, the perceptual and cognitive experience of the individual viewer (who is also an auditor) has become increasingly accessible. With contributions from Gregory Waller, John Sedgwick and Martin Barker, this work spans the spectrum of contemporary audience studies, revealing work being done on local, non-theatrical and live digital transmission audiences, and on the relative attraction of large-scale, domestic and mobile platforms."--Publisher's website.

AUSTRALIA; DVD, FILMS ON; BOX OFFICE. AUSTRALIA; ZECCOLA, ANTONIO; COULTER, PAUL; KIELY, CHRIS Summary: The global slump in box office returns has cinema owners and film distributors worried. Some speculation is that the downturn is due to the rise of DVD, home entertainment systems, and other recreational devices (ipods), coupled with the tightening of the film to dvd to pay tv release window. There is some talk that the older multiplex cinemas are in need of upgrading as they may no longer be up to standard for a modern cinemagoing audience. Notes: -- accessed from: Factiva.

Tauris PubDate: 2002 PhysDes: 273 p. : 24 cm Series: Cinema and Society Subject: THEORY; SPECTATORSHIP; AUDIENCE RECEPTION; AUDIENCES; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA; KUHN, ANNETTE Summary: An Everyday Magic: Cinema and Cultural Memory explores cinemagoing and cinema culture in the 1930s, when ‘going to the pictures’ was everybody’s favourite spare-time activity. From the familiar and magical surroundings of the picture houses themselves to the action and romance on the screen, Annette Kuhn draws on extensive interviews with picturegoers, research in cultural history, and readings of popular films of the day to discover how cinema brought a special magic to the daily lives of a generation of young men and women growing up in an austere climate of making-do. And from Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald to Fred and Ginger, she shows how audiences looked to their screen heroines and heroes for inspiration, and at the importance of cinemagoing in make-believe, play, friendship and growing up. This fascinating book throws new light on such issues as cinema spectatorship, childhood, adolescence, ageing and film reception, and provides a major contribution to understandings of both the role of cinema in its heyday and the nature of popular memory.

journal article		Everyone was watching! : strategies of self-presentation in oral histories of cinema-going in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.3 p.261-274 Author: Huggett, Nancy PhysDes: Article Subject: AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA; PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF FILMS; NARRATIVE IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA; AUDIENCE RECEPTION. AUSTRALIA; HISTORY OF CINEMA Summary: This article considers the different ways in which strategies of selective self-presentation on behalf of both interviewee and interviewer structure the oral history narrative, using, as an example. the ways in which embarrassment and shame function in narratives of cinema-going in Australia. The essay explores when and how embarrassment and shame feature in cinema-going narratives and also the way in which some issues, such as the recollection of segregation in rural cinemas, disrupt the easy conversational flow of a narrative and cause discomfort, bordering on embarrassment and shame for both interviewee and interviewer. Drawing on oral histories and autobiographical accounts from New South Wales cinema-goers, this article delves into the public/private and past/present functions of embarrassment and shame in order to better understand cinema-going practices and recollection strategies. It takes into account how critical oral history and cultural theory can assist cinema studies to examine how practices of cinema-going are situated within wider cultural attidudes and discourses. -- Abstract More info

The inclusion of context variables is important because it emphasizes the notion that television does not affect the individual in isolation, but rather, television's influence must be seen in terms of the audience member's construal of the televised message. How the audience will interpret what it views will depend not only upon the content of the programs but also on the nature of the viewer and the context in which the viewing occurs." - INTRODUCTION Notes: Draft version for comments only, prepared for Berkowitz, L.

In Humor in Middle Eastern Cinema, editors Gayatri Devi and Najat Rahman shed light on this tradition, as well as humor and laughter motivated by other intent—including parody, irony, the absurd, burlesque, and dark comedy. Contributors trace the proliferation of humor in contemporary Middle Eastern cinema in the works of individual directors and from the perspectives of genre, national cinemas, and diasporic cinema. Humor in Middle Eastern Cinema explores what humor theorists have identified as an “emancipatory,” “liberatory,” even “revolutionary” function to humor. Among the questions contributors ask are: How does Middle Eastern cinema and media highlight the stakes and place of humor in art and in life? What is its relation to the political? Can humor in cinematic art be emancipatory? What are its limits for its intervention or transformation? Contributors examine the region’s masterful auteurs, such as Abbas Kiarostami, Youssef Chahine, and Elia Suleiman and cover a range of cinematic settings, including Egypt, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey. They also trace diasporic issues in the distinctive cinema of India and Pakistan. This insightful collection will introduce readers to a variety of contemporary Middle Eastern cinema that has attracted little critical notice. Scholars of cinema and media studies as well as Middle Eastern cultural history will appreciate this introduction to a complex and fascinating cinema." -- GOOGLE BOOKS Notes: Contains bibliography and filmography -- contains index -- contains list of contributors ISBN: 9780814339374 Contents: Introduction / Gayatri Devi and Najat Rahman -- Humor, loss, and the possibility for politics in recent Palestinian cinema / Najat Rahman -- Strategies of subversion in Ben Ali's Tunisia: allegory and satire in Moncef Dhouib's TV Is Coming / Robert Lang -- Satiric traversals in the comedy of Mehran Modiri: space, irony, and national allegory on Iranian television / Cyrus Ali Zargar -- Ethnic humor, stereotypes, and cultural power in Israeli cinema / Elise Burton -- The laughter of Youssef Chahine / Najat Rahman -- Comedic meditations: war and genre in The Outcasts / Somy Kim -- Humor and the cinematic sublime in Kiarostami's The Wind Will Carry Us / Gayatri Devi -- America the oppressively funny: humor and anti-americanisms in modern Turkish cinema / Perin Gurel -- Laughter across borders: the case of the Bollywood film Tere Bin Laden / Mara Matta More info

Rating the Audience is the first book to show why and how audience ratings research became a convention, an agreement, and the first to interrogate the ways that agreement is now under threat. Taking a historical approach, the book looks at the evolution of audience ratings and the survey industry. It goes on to analyse today's media environment, looking at the role of the internet and the the increased difficulties it presents for measuring audiences. The book covers all the major players and controversies, such as Facebook's privacy rulings and Google's alliance with Nielson. Offering the first real comparative study, Rating the Audience is critical reading for media students and professionals." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9781849663410 Donation: Donated by Senses of Cinema, 2013 Contents: -- list of figures -- list of tables -- preface -- acknowledgments -- 1.Why the Ratings Are Important -- Introduction -- The Single Number -- Summary -- 2.The Convention -- `The Crossleys' - Archibald Crossley -- Arthur C.

AUSTRALIA; LEGISLATION. AUSTRALIA; PORNOGRAPHY ON TV; RATING FOR TV. AUSTRALIA; SEX AND TV; VIOLENCE ON TV. AUSTRALIA Summary: "Program classification issues have long been at the core of a heated public debate focusing on what can be shown on television. Because television is readily accessible to nearly all people of all ages, it is accepted that program standards are required to regulate what we are able to watch on television. However, any government regulation of television programs still raises sensitive issues. On the one hand, there is concern that even the most indirect intrusion into programming can destroy artistic intention and creativity. On the other hand, community opinion indicates that television and broadcasting in general, should maintain certain social objectives [...] This monograph is concerned principally with public attitudes to classification issues: namely, sex, violence and offensive language and knowledge of the classification system" - FROM INTRODUCTION ISBN: 0642168857 More info

The approach draws on ideas from film, media, and cultural studies in order to present new insights into a range of puzzling questions: What makes the biggest box office films attractive to audiences? Why do films that work well with audiences sometimes suffer poor distribution? What is a 'cult film' and how do such films gain thier status? Case studies of films such as Donnie Darko, Ringu, and Hero are included alongside discussion of film distribution and exhibition and the growing importance of audience comments and discussion via internet forums.

Often requiring time and effort to fully grasp it and seeming rather old-fashioned, it can be difficult to approach the subject with enthusiasm and appreciate its relevance to modern day. Understanding Film Theory aims to disassociate theory from these connotations and bring a fresh, contemporary and accessible approach to the discipline. Now comprehensively updated in a second edition, the book’s sixteen chapters - including a new chapter on Adaptations - continue to provide an insight into the main areas of debate. Taking the application of theory as its central theme, the text incorporates a number of innovative features: ‘Reflect and Respond’ sections encourage readers to engage critically with theoretical concepts, while seminal texts are concisely summarised without oversimplifying key points. Throughout the book the authors illustrate why theory is important and demonstrate how it can be applied in a meaningful way, with relevant case studies drawn from both classic and contemporary cinema including: Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), Run Lola Run (1998), The Hunger Games (2012), Blue is the Warmest Colour (2013) and The Lego Movie (2014). Additional case studies address key genres (the British Gangster film and the musical), film movements (Dogme 95), individual actors (Ryan Gosling, Judi Dench and Amitabh Bachchan) and directors (Alfred Hitchcock and Guillermo del Toro). Understanding Film Theory is an approachable and extensive introduction to film theory. It is the ideal entry point for any student studying film, using clear definitions and explaining complex ideas succinctly.
