Comments The source of information provided by 'CAARP' , provides it's audience with an in depth view of the history, almost a time line of the Electra Boronia venue. The target audience would mainly be students looking for this information or possibly residents of the Boronia area, keen to research the history of the old and now popular cinema.



Through table form the reader is shown specific information and dates related to the venue as well as basic information such as it's owner, then venue capacity at the time and different operation dates between the cinema being shut down or changing hands. The significance of the site is very high and will be useful purely because of the specific dates and information it provides, the reason for this is that between the cinema shutting down or changing owners many times there are specific dates and data that can help decide or be a factor in creating evidence for the venue either shutting down or changing owner.



With the data provided in the table, it allows you to see the development of the cinema between its opening in 1946 to its current state in 2012. For example in the year of it's opening the cinema could only hold up to 200 people, which may have been significant at the time in its single screen cinema, but in its current day the cinema holds up to 269 people per screen with the development of three others also. This information is vital in explaining the recent success of the cinema, although questions why the cinema had not been so popular in the past which can also be indicated through the timeline.



As well as its in depth time line of events, there is also a small section of information which allows the reader to quickly read a summery of all the information provided. Although there is not much theory the caarp website is still very useful due to its precise information, making it a very reliable source.



In summery the 'Caarp' website shows past and current information as well as specific historic dates of the Electra Boronia, and is a very useful reference.
