Twilight, based from the first novel in a four part saga by Stephenie Meyer, has been one of the fastest ticket selling films in history, earning over 7 million from midnight showings on its release alone, being closely outranked by Star Wars episode III, The Dark Knight and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. A fantasy romance, Twilight tells the story of Bella Swan who after moving to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father meets Edward Cullen and their love for each other instantly follows. Only problem is, is that Edward happens to be a vampire. Although reluctant at first, Edward soon realises his need to be together with Bella is to strong, and Bella is just as enchanted by their bond. The film follows the beginning of Bella and Edwards’s relationship and as Edward must protect Bella from enemy vampires and himself.

A wide range of people are invited to watch the movie, and afterwards are given cards so that they can answer some questions of specific inquiries directly related to the film, such as whether it was exciting or thought provoking. From this the produces and funders of the film will decide whether to release the film or perhaps go make to filming, or dropping it all together.
