Determination of Today’s Cinema Viewing Agenda

Abstract

Within the cinema viewing culture, cinema viewing agenda emerges as an important research title. It is obvious that many factors play a role on the audience’s choice of watching movies and determining their own cinema viewing agenda. The construction of the cinema viewing agenda changes due the applications and virtual spaces built by the developments in computer technology. One of the most important questions in this change and transformation is whether the audience is on the lookout for a more autonomous and spontaneous decision or on the axis of different dynamics. The main problem that this study focuses on is whether the cinema viewing agenda is on an impractical and repressive axis pushed from above or on an autonomous and more independent framework against the impractical film canons or other actors. It is aimed to understand and discuss which actors play a role in the audience’s film watching preferences and which elements the audience prioritize more in determining the audience’s viewing agenda. In this study, a questionnaire was prepared as a data collection instrument and these questions were directed to 50 people who were determined using the purposive sampling technique. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted through semistructured questions with 15 digital natives. The data obtained from these  questions and interviews were discussed/categorized together and common themes were identified. As a result, all data were analyzed in the context of thematic analysis in order to understand how today’s cinema viewing agenda has been determined.
