Description

Abstract:

This proposal is interested in examining how the Covid-19 pandemic affected the film industry and the movie-watching preferences of Americans. To analyze the effect of the pandemic on the film industry and the behaviors of movie watchers, I plan to study how the film industry has evolved to rely on streaming services to release content, as well as how the movie-watching behaviors of residences of different urban areas have changes as a response to the pandemic. By analyzing the financial side of streaming services (and their stock prices across time) and the change of behaviors of movie-watchers in Los Angeles, California, and Dallas, Texas, I will be able to explain how the effects of the pandemic changed people’s movie watching habits across the country. This will help me explain how the film industry is shifting towards digital platforms due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. All of this will allow readers know what movie watchers can expect for future movie-watching experiences.
