There are many factors that go into evaluating a film for the audience, but in terms of audience satisfaction, they can be broadly divided into:
- Expectation – whether a film fulfils psychological expectations
- Plot – whether there are enough twists and turns
- Visual – whether it has enough beautiful images
- Emotion – whether it fulfils the audience’s expectations
- Feeling – whether it is worth recalling and thinking about
Through this thesis, I would like to explore the link between happy endings and audience satisfaction in commercial cinema by looking at these dimensions.
