What Proportion are produced by American film Companies and how many are produced by British film companies?
A majority of the movies are made by the USA as it seems they have alot of facilities when it comes down to making movies. Only one film from the Odeon was made by a British company.


Do the films that are showing reinforce contemporary western culture as being dominant and positive, or challenge the dominant ideology and depict the more dark, weaker parts of our society?
The films reinforce contemporary western culture as being dominant and positive as the movies are all crowd pleasers their not movies that challenge the audience or make them think. Its just for entertaining purposes that they believe people will relate to.


If you find that one type of film (American or British) is shown more in cinemas why I think this is?
American movies are shown more in cinemas and I think this is because they have the most access  to media and the film industry. Most of the main film distributors are in the usa like Mirmax, warner bros. Also it costs a lot to publish your movie in a mainstream cinema. So most of the low budget movies distribute their movies to independent cinemas rather than the mainstream. British movies have not yet come to popular by mainstream cinemas as they do not have the budgets.


Do you think one of these types of film is more popular with an audience and if so why?
I think American movies are because most of the popular actors are american also the movies tend to have a lot of special effects. They more of the latest technology to create animation and action/adventure movies.
