Dear Production Studios, We’re Getting Bored
As a final project for my Information Design class, I researched and put together a story of recent changes in the movie industry from production to reception.

Why Don’t Theaters Feel the Same?
- 5+ information design graphics
- 10+ sources
- Over 700 lines of intentionally picked data
Questions I asked myself
- Why doesn’t the movie theater experience feel the same anymore?
- How has theater attendance been affected by COVID and the rise of streaming services?
- Have movies gotten worse?
- Why do I only seem to see remakes and sequels now?
As the first step of production, I used these questions to storyboard a variety of graphs with a clear storyline.
Research
Conducting accurate and meaningful research and data included seeking out my own sources, digging through movie origins, and organizing it into something that could be interpreted on a graph.
