The topic is about young people today suffering from an “epidemic of social isolation”. Is this a time when audiences need cinema more than cinemas need audiences? I need to make a speech. Our group conducted a questionnaire survey and focus group to investigate this topic. The poster is used as the final presentation of the results. This is the structure of our group speech. I need to make the first intro and the second background introduction.
