Matt joins us to discuss his multi-methods approach to studying film, film criticism, and film consumption.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I\u2019m a methodologically promiscuous sociologist, so I dabble with different methodologies depending what types of questions I ask. \u00a0So for example, If I wanted to know something about the ways that audience members develop, nurture, and deconstruct\u2014in their everyday lived experiences\u2014a film genre such as this, it would call for a kind of ethnographic strategy in which I would need to embed myself with a community of avid film goers. \u00a0That type of immersion would be necessary to gain a sociologically informed view of what really figure out the relationship between people lived experiences and their cinematic evaluations. \u00a0But since I was interested in a different question\u2014notably, what kinds of demographic and interactive setting influenced how audiences make meaning of just a handful of these films, then interviews and comparisons between focus groups fit the bill for my question.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/em>&#8211; Matthew W.
