Film Questionnaire

1. How would you define a good film?

I would personally define a good film when it has a good and interesting plot which is developed the right way. Also, a good film should make you feel as you are inside the movie and are the eye-witness of the event. This makes you experience a more realistic movie and enjoy it more. As well, transfer the original plot but not changing it to much, so that you can be able to get the original idea.

2. If you like a film, do other people have the right to tell you you’re wrong?

I don’t think that it is fair that when you like a film other people say you’re wrong because what you like in a film don’t necessary like to be good for other people. Also some people have different opinions and like some themes which are not liked by some people. You can obtain different feelings and opinions of the film you have watched.

3. How should people behave in cinema?

The way that people should behave in the cinema is not talking and whispering throughout the entire movie. I agree that you can express some emotions, such as a small laugh when looking to a comedy, but not throwing food such as popcorn, to other people. People should be respectful because others want to enjoy the movie and relax themselves. They should be polite not exaggerate with your emotions.

4. Is film an art form? Explain your answer

I do agree when saying that a film is an art form because they transfer someone’s feelings with images and sound. A film is an art because it combines different forms of transferring art such as literature, photography, music and others.

5. Who should get the final credit for a film, why?

I think that the one that gets the final credit for a film is not depending in one person. This is because the director does a good job in making the film work, but the actors are the ones which transmit all the feelings the director wants. Also, there are lots of minds behind the movie which are very important for the film to be produced at it was.

7. Is there a function of film?

The function to produce a film is to transmit a message to the audience that someone has created or lived as an experience. There can be also the want to educate through films so that they can get the message.

8. Why do people make films?

The reason why people make films is because they really like to make them and they enjoy the process of having an idea and transferring into acts and something “physical” that other people can see. With this they can transfer their own feelings and do what they like by having fun.

9. Do film makers have a moral responsibility to their audiences

I think that film makers don’t have a moral responsibility to their audiences completely because mostly always they are not trying to offend someone; they are just trying to transmit experiences or ideas they have to entertain or communicate to the audience. This is why I think it goes to a certain point because film makers should be conscious of the globalize environment that we are living and the issues we have in the moment, they shouldn’t try to offend exactly a group of population.
