TABLE 3

ANALYSIS

Analysis

1. The table gives information about films released independently according to genre in the UK and
the Republic of Ireland in a single year, 2012. 2. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily
apparent that the vast majority of money was generated by comedy followed closely by horror, then
more distantly biopic, and drama, while other genres earned far less. 3. This contrasts with the total
number of films in some areas as dramas, documentaries and comedies were most common.

1. Paraphrase what the table shows.

2. Write a clear overview summarising the major trends and differences.

3. Add an extra sentence to be sure that you have covered everything.

dramas released though their box office numbers accounted for just 2.9% and 8.3% of sales,
respectively. 2. A divergent trend can be seen for comedies and horror in particular with the former
constituting 17.6% of all releases and 45.4% of sales and the latter at 9.5% and 20.2%
