GOOGLE TRENDS THE SOCIAL CONTEXT FOR FINAL PEICE
OUIJA
The trends of google searches show that the search for Ouija was really low all the way up until 2014. This is likely to be because of the film Ouija which came out this year. Also the trends show that the majority of the searches came from Bolivia.
This shows the opposite to the worldwide trends. This graph shows that in 2005 there were more trends than there were in 2014. There were also more searches in the La Paz Department of Bolivia.
EXORCISM
|
This first graph shows that over time the year that had the most searches for the word 'Exorcism' was in 2005. This was then closly followed by 2011 which had the 2nd most searches. These 2 spikes are likely to be because of the films 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' (2005) and 'The Rite' (2011). Both of these films incorperate an exorcism in the film which is likely to be a factor in the amount of searches for the words in these years.

Interestingly the most searches came from Guatemala. This graph actually shows that the most searches from Guatemala tho was in 2013. This might be because of the film 'The Last Exorcism part ll" which came out in 2013. However it is more likely to be because of the sad story of a girl in Guatemala that was kidnapped by 2 satanic worshipers and "sacrificed" to their dark god.
This research shows that both ouija and exorcism are very popular subjects and also populare topics within films. This means that combining the 2 in my film will appeal to a larger audience and also make it even more popular.
