  • Indicators of Movie Quality an Exploratory Research Into Movie Quality
    Indicators of movie quality An exploratory research into movie quality Student name: Veronique Alida Maria Starmans Student number: 386815 Supervisor: Dr. Christian Wolfgang Handke Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam Master Thesis Cultural Economics and Entrepreneurship June 2017 Academic Year: 2016 – 2017 1 Abstract The movie industry is constantly evolving, prompting production studios to rethink their movies in order to keep up with these changes. This thesis aims to find out how different indicators of movie quality are correlated and how these indicators can provide useful information to movie production studios before and after the production of a movie. This is done by answering the man research question: How consistent are indicators of movie quality? To make the concept of quality measurable, I use indicators of quality such as: box office revenue, production budget, award nominations, award wins, and review ratings, several other variables derived from literature. After analysing these variables I conclude that there is a consistent correlation between budget and box office revenue, which could provide information to producers before production starts, and there is a correlation between box office revenue and the review ratings, which could provide information after production ends. I conclude by discussing the difficulties in measuring the concept of quality and the other possible indicators of quality which are not included in this thesis.

  • The Time Traveler's Wife
    When Henry meets Clare, he is twenty-eight and she is twenty. He is a hip librarian; she is a beautiful art student. Henry has never met Clare before; Clare has known Henry since she was six... “A powerfully original love story. BOTTOM LINE: Amazing trip.” —PEOPLE “To those who say there are no new love stories, I heartily recommend The Time Traveler’s Wife, an enchanting novel, which is beautifully crafted and as dazzlingly imaginative as it is dizzyingly romantic.” —SCOTT TUROW AUDREY NIFFENEGGER’S innovative debut, The Time Traveler’s Wife, is the story, of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing. The Time Traveler’s Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare’s marriage and their passionate love for each other, as the story unfolds from both points of view. Clare and Henry attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals— steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable. THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE a novel by Audrey Niffenegger Clock time is our bank manager, tax collector, police inspector; this inner time is our wife.
