We all know the ____11____that professional filmmakers and actors put in to provide us with

Entertainment,but it seems that even ____12____ moviegoers like us have a big impact on how a movie turns out

too.

For decades now, film studios have used so-called test screenings to get ____13____ from members of the

public before a movie comes out. While test audience members were usually asked to fill in a questionnaire after a
