Paul Harris begins by analysing how the DVD revolutionized the Australian film industry. For example, DVD sales and rentals accounted for more than 40% of film studiosâ international revenue. He mentions that a tactic to sell DVDs of mediocre films is âextrasâ such as deleted scenes. This means film producers have the opportunity to create more revenue through DVDs. However, Harris says that this book contains quality that he enjoys and that âextrasâ are only mentioned if they are truly special. The book may be biased as these are films he âcare[s] about and have revisited in the DVD format to enjoy yet again.â However, the films suggested can be compared to figures of box office sales to see if they were hits in the cinema. The target audience of the guide is people who are looking to see an entertaining film or documentary. He does not analyse the cinematography. Instead he writes gripping synopses of the films. The movies listed were released over the course of 90 years (1916-2003). The popularity of film genres over the years can be inferred. |
