The Data Visualisation is designed to inform the audience how movie critiques are not always correct with their rotten tomatoes scores when it comes to the audiences actual satisfaction to a certain film. The graph presents the difference between Critique and audience opinions through having the movies released from each year from 2007 to 2017 along it’s own line from the year the movie was released and distributes the movies across from left to right of the chart to show the difference in opinions. The left side of the chart shows more similarity to critique opinions whilst on the right side of the chart it shows there is more of a difference in opinions through the percentage of difference. The budget of the movie is shown through the size of the circle representing the film and the colour of each circle shows the genre of the film.
