==Movies== People in the movie industry can also use perception management through the movies they choose to make. One movie, ''[[The Day After Tomorrow]]'', changed many people's minds in a study comparing watchers and non-watchers views on global warming. The study, conducted by [[Anthony Leiserowitz]], asked both groups how concerned they were about [[global warming]], and 83 percent of watchers said they were very concerned compared to 72 percent of non-watchers. They also asked the watchers whether the movie made them less or more worried about global warming and 49 percent said they were more worried after seeing the movie.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Leiserowitz, Anthony A.|title=Before and after The Day After Tomorrow: a U.S. study of climate change risk perception|journal=Environment|volume=46|issue=9|year=2004|page=22+|publisher=Academic OneFile|url=http://environment.yale.edu/leiserowitz/climatechange/TDAT_assets/LeiserowitzTDAT2.pdf|doi=10.1080/00139150409603663|s2cid=154885524}}</ref> Perception management is also important in the movie industry in terms of celebrity image. For example, much of the controversy over the 2010 Oscar-winning ''[[Black Swan (film)|Black Swan]]'' centers around the fact that [[Natalie Portman]] is said to have danced for most of the movie. However, her double, [[Sarah Lane]], claims that the majority of the dancing was done by herself. When she mentioned this in interviews, Lane noted that she was quickly told to keep quiet. The movies' producers were worried that this information would reflect negatively on Portman and affect her chances of winning an Oscar. Lane noted in an interview with ''[[Glamour (magazine)|Glamour]]'' that "They were trying to create this image, this facade, really, that Natalie had done something extraordinary. Something that is pretty much impossible ... to become a professional ballerina in a year and half" (Katrandjian 1).<ref>{{cite web|author1=Katrandjian, Olivia |author2=Kimberly Launier |name-list-style=amp |title=Sarah Lane, Natalie Portman's 'Black Swan' Dance Double, Speaks Out|work=[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]]|date= 20 Nov 2011|url= https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/sarah-lane-natalie-portmans-black-swan-dance-double/story?id=13375693}}</ref>
