Group G: Terisha Tan, Matthew Wong and Sylvia Soh IRS Introduction

Ask anyone on the street. They would most likely tell you that they have watched a movie before. A majority of movie-watchers happen to be teenagers, just like us. Be it whether with friends, families, classmates or even grandparents.

Teenagers also bring in the most money for popular teen flicks such as the Twilight Saga and I am Number Four. Teenagers are at a critical age and most of them need some form of entertainment to relive themselves from their tight timetable and stressful school life. Boys and Girls normally will watch movies with their friends as an outing.

For this research, we could interview our friends and classmates of different backgrounds to find out which movies are most relevant to them.
