Success Is How You See It

When somebody makes a TV show or a movie they want to know they have made a great product, but how do you determine greatness? There are many different ways to determine this is critics. You can always read about what people think in the news paper, on the internet or even watch critics on TV. However this mite not be the best way to get a feel for how good of a job you've done. You can obviously take a look at it from a numbers perspective, whether that is ticket sales, box office rankings, or amount of time spent in the box office. Some people determine the success of what they made off the impact it had. It may not have made as much money as other shows or movies but it had such a great influence on people or has a really great following. And others would base it off of awards they've received. Obviously every year you have lots of award shows that recognize shows that did really great in their nominated categories. In this case they value the opinion of the members of the academy or who ever is apart of the voting/judging pool. So what do you look at to determine success? Think about that next time you start a project.
