The end result of these comparisons over the last five years evidently conveys that the big five have dominated the film industry.

In 2022, the top ten grossing films have a very even monopoly with Sony falling behind. As of the big five's domination it is clear that independent filmmaker's have close to no chance of breaking into the film industry.

After the transition, we see the camera moves smoot

How are they represented to us? (what messages are we told about these groups? What are they like? What are their lives like? What are we encouraged / persuaded to think about them?) we are told through the conveying messages that there are two separate groups in the household. the lower, hard-working class and the the higher more luxurious family who expect the lower class to do their duties each morning. they are rich and well sophisticated. we know this through the wise words of Robert crawley who answered his daughter who had the question of; "I thought it was supposed to be unsinkable"(7:59) with; "Every mountain is unclimbable until someone c
