Their association with Universal Studios provides benefits like larger budgets and global distribution for their films.
Issues Raised by Media Ownership.
Media ownership refers to the process by which companies can own media outlets. It can be examined by looking at advantages and disadvantages of both large conglomerates and smaller independent companies. Sony and MGM produced the film Skyfall as a large conglomerate, benefiting from cross-promotion across industries, while Ill Manors was produced independently with a smaller budget of £100,000 but greater creative freedom. Independent companies face challenges distributing films on a smaller marketing budget.
Task one - sources of finance
There are several sources of public finance that can fund film productions in the UK, including funding from publicly-funded television channels like the BBC and Channel 4, as well as from public agencies like the British Film Institute. Public finance also includes funding from bodies that collect and distribute public money for film production, such as The National Lottery. Additionally, the government provides public financing through tax breaks for film productions that allow them to pay less tax than normal businesses.
Issued raised by media ownership
The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of major media conglomerates versus independent media companies by comparing the 2012 films Skyfall and Ill Manors. Major conglomerates like Sony and MGM, which produced Skyfall, have advantages in production, distribution, and exhibition due to greater resources. However, they take fewer risks. Independent films like Ill Manors have advantages in risk-taking but disadvantages in marketing budgets and distribution deals. The success of Skyfall shows the benefits of cross-media ownership, while Ill Manors found relative success through viral marketing and appealing to niche audiences.

Task 1 ownership_case_study
Private media companies rely on advertising revenue, while public service media are funded through license fees. Examples include Channel 5 (private) and BBC (public). Private companies have more freedom but rely on steady advertising, while public media aim to serve all audiences. Large conglomerates like Disney own multiple media across industries through various subsidiaries, pursuing horizontal and vertical integration. Disney specifically owns film studios, parks, consumer products, TV networks, and interactive divisions. It competes with other major conglomerates for market share in television and beyond.
Issued raised by media ownership
The document discusses the differences between independent films like Ill Manors and major studio films like Skyfall. Independent films have smaller budgets and marketing capabilities than large conglomerate productions. Ill Manors had to secure funding from multiple sources while Skyfall benefited from the resources of Sony and MGM for production, distribution, and extensive viral and cross-media marketing campaigns. Both films achieved critical success but Skyfall was a major box office blockbuster due to the promotional power of its large parent companies.
Sources of Funding
This document discusses various sources of finance for media products during pre-production. It outlines corporate finance from large successful companies that reinvest profits. It also mentions distribution rights sales, sponsorship from corporate partners in exchange for advertising, product placement in films and TV shows, franchising of derivative works, crowd funding from online campaigns, independent funding from private sources, and public funding from organizations like the BBC and National Lottery.
Media ownership
The document discusses the differences between independent and conglomerate media companies by comparing Ill Manors and Skyfall. Ill Manors had a small budget of £100,000 as an independent film, allowing it to take more creative risks. In contrast, Skyfall had a blockbuster budget of $200 million as a conglomerate production, enabling large-scale elements but requiring mass market appeal. Independent companies have difficulties with marketing through synergy compared to conglomerates that can leverage affiliated businesses.
Issued raised by media ownership
The document discusses the differences between independent films like Ill Manors and major studio films like Skyfall in their production, distribution, and exhibition. Independent films have smaller budgets which allow more creative risks but limit marketing spend, while major studios have larger budgets and can use cross-promotion across media but take fewer creative risks. Both films were critically acclaimed British films but Skyfall benefitted from the marketing power of its studio owners Sony and MGM.
The DCMS Jan 2012 Film Policy Review
The document summarizes the key points from the 2012 UK Film Policy Review conducted by Lord Smith. The review recommended that 1) producers should recoup funding from financially successful films to reinvest in future productions, 2) broadcasters like Sky and ITV should increase investment in British films, and 3) film education should be brought into every British school to develop new audiences. Some concerns about the review included that it may sideline independent films and focus funding only on commercial successes, which are difficult to predict. The overall goal appeared to continue supporting a wide range of British films and improve audiences for local films.
Media ownership
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of large conglomerate media companies and smaller independent media companies when producing and distributing films. It uses the films Ill Manors and Skyfall as examples. Ill Manors was produced independently by smaller companies like Film London and BBC Films and had a budget of £100,000, while Skyfall was produced by the large conglomerates Sony and MGM. Independent companies can take more creative risks but have less funding for marketing and distribution, while conglomerates have more money but also greater pressure to appeal to mass audiences. Both films utilized viral marketing techniques, but Skyfall benefited more from its parent companies' ability to leverage cross-promotion across media platforms.
Synergy essay
Cross-media convergence and synergy allow major film studios to promote their films across multiple platforms and maximize revenue. Disney is an exemplar of cross-media convergence, owning media across film, television, publishing, music and theme parks. They have mastered using synergy across these platforms to promote their films and franchises like Avengers and Frozen, which are then ubiquitous brands. This cross-promotion helps Disney and other major studios dominate the film industry and box office through large-scale franchises.

The document compares the film industries of Hollywood and Britain. Hollywood films have extremely large budgets of $110 million on average, allowing them to appeal globally with universal themes, action, CGI and minimal dialogue. They are produced and distributed by the "Big 6" major studios. Britain's film industry has much smaller budgets of £6.2 million from national funds. British films focus more on domestic themes and issues and have a collaborative production model with multiple companies. Both industries face challenges - Hollywood with piracy and Britain with obtaining sufficient funding to continue production.
Revision pres 2 so
The document provides guidance on how to answer an exam question about the film industry by discussing the key areas the examiner will be looking for. These include demonstrating knowledge of the film industry through examples of companies studied, addressing the specific question, and showing understanding of audiences and institutions. It offers tips on including details about oligopolies, various stages of film production and distribution, marketing campaigns, and target audiences.
Media ownership film industry
The document discusses media ownership in the film industry. It notes that a small number of large media conglomerates own most film studios, TV stations, record labels, and other media outlets. These conglomerates have significant financial resources to invest in film production and can market films across their various subsidiary companies using synergy. However, some independent films are still produced outside the major studios in Britain, often partnering with organizations like Film 4 or the BBC for funding and distribution. The concentration of media ownership in only a few large Western conglomerates is increasingly dominating the global media market.
AS Media Ownership Skyfall and Ill Manors
1) Large conglomerates like Sony have advantages in producing and distributing films due to their financial resources and ability to use cross-promotion across their subsidiaries.
2) Independent films like Ill Manors have difficulties marketing and distributing on a smaller budget without the resources of a major studio.
3) Independent companies try to compete through viral marketing and niche audiences, while conglomerates use extensive global marketing campaigns and product tie-ins.
The commissioning process
The commissioning process allows independent film directors to pitch their ideas on the BFI website for public funding. Creative England is a large UK organization that provides funding and support to help talented filmmakers realize their visions. Most film applicants seek public funding for their projects, though large studios like Universal typically only consider ideas from experienced professionals they have worked with previously or those already in the industry, while some companies like Lionsgate do not accept unsolicited ideas due to profit risk concerns.
Independent Film Company - Warp Films
Warp Films was created with financial support from NESTA and the BBC to help distribute independent films with budgets between £1-2 million. It relies on partnerships with larger American studios to distribute its films internationally. One of its most successful films was This is England (2006), which made £204,000 in the UK and £5 million worldwide. Warp Films uses techniques like posters, online trailers and newsletters to promote its films through synergy and convergence between different companies. New technologies like digital video have allowed lower-budget films to be produced, but Warp Films still struggles due to limited funding.

- 8. Synergy across a range of platforms:
- 10. Soundtrack
- 11. Synergy basically means working together to achieve an objective that couldn't be achieved independently. Cross-media convergence can help with synergy if companies are wise enough to take advantage of the links they have forged. Disney is an obvious example of a synergistic company from the top down from Film Studio to Kids' TV Channel (where it further plays and promotes its films) to the Disney Store (in the street and online) where your kids can pester you to buy all the merchandise and DVDs/CDs they've seen on the TV/Web or in the cinema. https://community.tes.com/
