7. That often producers will produce more films for a specific genre they think will be popular but this isn't always correct, therefore causing less popular genres to have more films made.

5. Animation, Documentaries, Musicals (just a broader range of genres in general)

8. This is likely to be because they are taking their children to the cinema as carers and parents and therefore they are the most common films for that age range even they they are older than the target audience the film was aimed at.

11. For people that lived in the UK they preferred the films such as Django: Unchained, Fast and Furious 6 and Gravity. Whereas the people that lived in Scotland preferred films such as Sunshine on Leith, Filth and Star Trek into Darkness. This could suggest that the people that tend to go to cinemas more in the UK are of the 15-24 age bracket, whereas in Scotland the people that are going to watch films are the 40+ age bracket. This is because when looking back at the information the films that were most common in the UK were films popular amongst young people, but the films that were common in Scotkand were common amongst older people.
