4. PEOPLE I HAVE INTERVIEWED
• What smart phone would you prefer and why?
Galaxy S4, Because it has many features and its now easier to use.
• What Smartphone would you least prefer and why?
I don‟t like the iPhone as it keeps changing, no point of buying one smartphone because in a
years time there will be a better one, I'm personally wasting my money for something which
wont be new anymore in a couple of months
• What’s your opinion about technology?
Its really helpful, and I cant imagine my life without technology as it really helps me in my life,
especially the smartphone where I can do so many things on it, who knew that I can talk to my
phone!

5. INTERESTING INFORMATION
• Out of the 5 billion mobile phone users in the world, 1.08 billion are smartphone users

6. STATISTICS
This means only 20% in
the whole world who
does not have a
smartphone
This means many
peoples life have
changed as they are
holding a smartphone
whereas only a few
people who don‟t have a
smartphone which can
mean many things such
as they either cant
afford it, or they want to
live how they used to
and not change that.
And that‟s only in the
US, and what if it was
Russia or china, china
would be way more
maybe because china
has more technology
than us, more likely they
have more people who
use their smartphones

7. This proves that
many people
cannot live without
there
smartphones, show
s us that is part of
our lives and it
would be difficult if
we didn‟t use them
as part as our daily
routine
This shows the
most popular
smartphone
company, in 2011 it
was android.

8. Text messaging is
the most source of
the smartphone
people use
Browsing on the
internet is the most
2nd source used on
the smartphone
Shows that almost
the elderly or the
old fashioned, are
not used to holding
smartphones
because they don‟t
know how it works
or they are not used
to all the new
technology

9. Shows that males
have more
smartphones than
females, this can be
either the difference
between their job etc
Most people who
mostly use the
smartphones are
aged 25-34 years

for, appstore, vide
os, or game store.

country who has
the most people

11. This shows that many country's have a high percentage of people using smartphones, this
clearly shows that smartphones have big impact on our lives.

12. DIFFERENT SMARTPHONE COMPANY‟S
Apple S4 Blackberry Sony Xperia Z1 HTC
Apple is known
for its innovative
designs and
popular
hardware
consumer
electronics
products: the
MacBook, iPod
and iPhone
The S4 features
"touchless"
technology and
can be
controlled by its
user's eyes. A
"smart pause"
function allows
the user to stop
a video by
looking away.
The handset
announced
earlier this year
features the
classic
BlackBerry
QWERTY
Keyboard and a
touch-screen
display. Battery
13.5 hours
One of the
smartphone's
key features is
its waterproof
handset. The X-
peria Z1 is also
said to take
"world-leading"
photographs
with its 21
megapixel
camera
The device's
"Blink Feed"
transforms the
home screen
into a stream of
news, photos
and social
updates.

13. QUOTE FROM APPLE
• “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers...The ones who see
things differently. They're not fond of rules...About the only thing you can't do is ignore
them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward…we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the
ones who do.”
I really liked this quote in my opinion, as it proves that apple keeps moving faster and
don‟t want to stop. As clearly they want to move the human race forward this can be
seen as apples aim.

14. DEBATE
The Good thing about technology
changing fast
The Bad thing about technology moving
fast
Makes life more easier, such as ordering
your food online this can be an advantage
e.g. might not have a car
They cannot keep up with cost, as each
year they create a new smartphone
Can help in education wise, instead of
going to the library you just look on the web
Some people cannot afford them, cannot
keep up and „do not fit into society‟

15. DEBATE
The Good thing about technology
changing fast
The Bad thing about technology moving
fast
It has made it a better place by improving
communication, transportation etc, can
check the bus times on your smartphone.
Makes us more lazy as a human race,
instead of going to the supermarket u order
them to your house
Better living, better houses, without
technology we would be living in bad and
ugly houses. Makes the world more
developed
People would be out graded quicker, as
there iPhone can be old in one years time
as there will be better.

16. INDEPENDENT FILMS ARE TURNING TO
MAINSTREAM FILMS

17. WHY TURNING TO MAINSTREAM?
• People like the independent films as they are unique and are not repeated or even
predictable.
• As many people will watch them it will be more likely to turn into a mainstream film as now
the director would know what the audience really want and what they prefer watching.

18. INFORMATION ABOUT THE CURZON
• In 2012 the Curzon Cinema reached the final for Best Heritage Project of the National
Lottery Awards.
• To be kept up to date with our new film releases and events, please register for our
newsletters or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
• This shows that they can be in touch with Curzon through social networking sites, which
can easily make new audiences as many people will be re-tweeting or liking statuses and
shows on there friends wall, this instantly creates a wider range of audience which then
leads to a mainstream film

19. QUOTE – CURZON DIRECTOR GARETH NEGUS
• “Restoring the Curzon has always been about more than repairing the building, we
wanted to open up the heritage of the Curzon to our visitors; including not only the
physical building but its social history, and what it has meant to the people of Clevedon
over the past century. Even some of our regular customers were unaware until now that
there is more to the Curzon than the box office and the auditorium
Shows how important the independent cinemas are to people, especially when the
building has a history. Especially when it opened on 20 April 1912 by Victor Cox, the
original building had 200 seats. That‟s how old it is, and now there is more than 200
seets which shows that many people are interested in independent films and enjoy them

20. HUNGER GAMES

the users which proves that many
people were also watching this
film

21. INTERESTING INFORMATION – HUNGER GAMES
• The movie cost $90 million to make, reduced to $78 million after subsidies.
• The chances of their book sequels „Catching Fire‟ and „Mockingjay‟ being converted into
films depended on the money the first movie made. Due to the success of the first
movie, „Catching Fire‟ is now being produced
Independent films don‟t
normally do more than
one film, but hunger game
