The number of cinema screens have declined over the years due to the increase of streaming services people now have access to. Streaming films at home is much easier than going to the cinema and much cheaper too.

1. In the ‘Golden Age’ of Cinema, there were roughly 7 cinemas operation between these years.

2. There are 10 public cinema screens, currently operated by Cinema.

3. The original Odeon building is available to hire, and many properties in Jersey have private cinemas.

4. The number of cinemas screens has declined because of the rise of at-home cinema: aka being able to rent or buy a film from your own home. As well, companies like Cineworld having a monopoly on local cinema has forced smaller businesses to shut down: such as ‘New Era’ in St Helier.

Narration within film, much like in theatre productions, typically involves a character detached from the story physically, as if it’s being retold by them, coined as a “Voice of God” style. Often narration is also done by a character featured in the film itself, such as Morgan Freeman within Darabont’s 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption, considered a first-person style. Narration is used this way to position the audience within the mind of a character, and to provide context in a more direct and simpler way. However, the narrator isn’t always a character that the audience can trust – sometimes known as the unreliable narrator – they’re a character that’s lost their credibility in the audiences eyes, whether it’s because they have been deceived by the narrator, or because of certain attributes to the way they talk or behave that makes them unreliable.

Another film including narration like this could be 2005’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang – starring Robert Downey Jr. as both a separate character and narrator in the narrative, much like The Shawshank Redemption.
