Field Research

This week I had a lot of success and a lot of surprises. My observation was easy since I just had to go see a movie. It was a lot like the first time I saw this film which was good. This means that what I was hypothesizing about this group is somewhat correct. Both times I saw this film were almost parallel to eachother in how the fans react the same at the same parts of the movie. There were some things that I was not expecting though and it may change how my next observation goes. I assumed that the fans of twilight were around late middle school/early high school age. I was definatley proven wrong when the majority of the people in the theatre were late elementary/early middle school aged. I was planning on studying high school aged kids, but this may change now. So my new question now is how young are the youngest fans? And at what age do people start viewing the movie as the fantasy movie it was made to be and not a nonfiction film?
