668 Words3 Pages

After I looked at this data I thought it would be important to look beneath this data and look at the statistics. I ran some descriptive statistics on the gross and budget movie data as shown in figure 1.3. I noticed there some strong outliers because of the max min spread. Also, the skew which looks at the if the data is symmetric is big. I was anticipating this because there are a lot of big budget films that score a lot of gross and have a significate budget. This compared to movies that are indie can make the data very.

This is interesting because it shows if there is a lot of interest on certain movies on Facebook they will most likely be reviewed by a greater number of reviewers because of the large audience they appealing to. The second strongest relationship is the one between gross and budget. This means if there is a large budget for a movie then the amount it will gross will be more. Though it is not supper strong meaning there is still a chance a movie will flop. Other interesting thing to not is that some of the lowest relationships are between budget and IMDB score this means there is not relationship between the money spent on a movie

While the ever-popular action-adventure blockbusters were geared towards adolescent and post adolescent boys, independent films “introduced a new generation of indie auteurs and offered women and people of color a chance to tell their stories” (Lewis 352). These films generally have smaller crews, shorter schedules, and are usually funded by private investors, although some are produced or backed by big studios. What most of the independent films have in common is that they make about one one-hundredth as much as the average blockbuster (Lewis 389). While these blockbuster films were made according to market research and loaded up with stars, music, and high-concept ideas well in advance of principal photography, independent films decided it was time to break away from the systematized and standardized ways of current Hollywood.
