Tablets guide eyes to the multiplex
By: Chanel Proell
Recent research shows that well over half the people (between 65% and 67%) using smartphones and tablets such as Ipads choose and go see movies from advertisements on their devices. This study should be valuable news to the film industry because it could help the declining rate of movie goers in the actual theaters.
Move over "Planet Earth" and "Life" there is about to be a new show for nature junkies in town. National Geographic and BBC have come together to create a six part nature series about animals "everyday fight for survival, in real time." 150 filmmakers and wildlife experts were employed for the creation of this project. The series will feature different parts of the world such as the African plains, Sri Lanka and the deep woods of Minnesota. The series takes off May 7, 2012 exclusively on the NatGeo wild channel as "24/7 Wild" and will premiere next month on BBC One as "Planet Earth Live".
