Very few films are released in the same year that they are shot, and 80% of all films are shot at least 12-18 months before they are actually released, cos most films require at least 6 months of post production work to be done before they can be released. As an example, look at the new Vanessa Hudgens film SUCKER PUNCH just released -- they were showing clips of Vanessa filming those scenes well over a year ago, so that film finished shooting last summer and has been in post production for many months before it gets a release the next year.

So..... you can't use a year of release date as your reference point. A more accurate measure would be to assume that most films are shot at least 1 year before their actual release year, so most films released in 1995 would have been shot in 1994...so 1994 should be your reference point, not 1995.
