OVERVIEW OF FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN
Autumn (fall in North America) is one of the four temperate seasons, the transition between summer and winter.
In the temperate zones, autumn is the season during which most crops are harvested, and deciduous trees lose their leaves. It is also the season in which the days rapidly get shorter and cooler (especially in the northern latitudes), and of gradually increasing precipitation in some parts of the world.
HISTORY OF FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN
Apart from being the start of the school year, it is one of the seasons in which the film industry starts releasing movies that are usually low-budget in scope, but worthy of artistic achievement at academic institutions such as the Oscars and the BAFTA awards (whose award ceremonies are held in late-February). Such movies are considered low-key, deeper in content and more serious than their big-budget, effects-laden summer counterparts. Autumn is the shortest and least profitable season of the movies.
Autumn is also associated with the Halloween season, and with it a widespread marketing campaign that promotes it. The film and music industries use this time of year to promote movies and records that closely associate with such holiday, and their releases begin in early September but no later than 28 October, since their themes rapidly lose strength once the holidays ends.
