1. Define the major media
industry sectors
Jake Dargan

2. Film Industry
 The film industry consists of the technological and
commercial institutions of filmmaking: i.e. film production
companies, film studios, cinematography, film production,
screenwriting, pre-production, post production, film
festivals, distribution; and actors, film directors and other
film crew personnel.
 Though the expense involved in making movies almost
immediately led film production to concentrate under the
auspices of standing production companies, advances in
affordable film making equipment, and expansion of
opportunities to acquire investment capital from outside
the film industry itself, have allowed independent film
production to evolve.

3. Radio Industry
 Radio is undergoing a digital revolution - every
bit as profound as that affecting TV - and as with
all revolutions many of the eventual outcomes
are uncertain.
 That rapid and profound impact has been
experienced differently in different sectors of the
industry - creating threats as well as
opportunities. But despite all the uncertainty
there is a sense abroad that this is an exciting
period in the development.

4. Television Industry
 Broadcast Television is going through an
extraordinary time of change and challenge.
 It is still one of the most popular forms of
entertainment and information, with the average
British viewer still watching twenty hours or
more per week. But the rapid growth of the
internet and interactive media is competing
strongly for audiences and revenues.
