The document discusses various technologies used by television broadcasting companies. It describes analog broadcasting, which transmitted a limited number of channels via radio waves to antennas. It notes that analog broadcasting will soon be phased out. Satellite broadcasting is discussed as transmitting over 900 channels via satellites in space to dishes on homes. Cable broadcasting is also mentioned as an older technology that still transmits television via cables.
This document discusses different types of ownership structures in the TV and radio industry, including private ownership (exemplified by ITV), public ownership (exemplified by the BBC), conglomerate ownership, vertical integration, and horizontal integration. It also covers free-to-air television like Freeview versus subscription-based packages from Sky, Virgin, and BT. Finally, it discusses programme and international sales between broadcasters, spin-offs of popular television shows, and media franchising.
The document discusses how technology has changed the film industry in several ways:
1) On-demand streaming services like Netflix and BBC iPlayer have allowed audiences to watch films and TV anytime from any device. This has impacted producers by generating revenue from international subscribers.
2) Advances in CGI and special effects like those used in Avatar and Gravity have made visuals more realistic and appealing to audiences. However, rendering films with these techniques is very time-consuming and expensive for producers.
3) The introduction of 3D and 4D films has enhanced the cinema experience for audiences, though 4D films may be too expensive for some. Producers aim to recreate films in these formats to attract larger audiences.

The document discusses several topics related to television ownership, regulation, and technology:
1) It describes public ownership of television services like the BBC, which is funded by mandatory license fees.
2) It also discusses commercial ownership, where television companies are privately held rather than publicly owned.
3) New technologies like on-demand streaming services allow viewers to watch programs anytime rather than being restricted to live broadcasts.
Rating wars occur when TV channels compete for viewers by scheduling popular shows at the same time. For example, in the past BBC aired Strictly Come Dancing at 7pm while ITV aired X-Factor at the same time, leading to a ratings battle. ITV later moved X-Factor to 8pm to avoid losing viewers to Strictly. Ratings are important because advertisers choose channels with the most viewers to reach mass audiences. Technologies like streaming services now threaten traditional TV as viewers can watch content anywhere on demand. However TV channels still compete for live viewers through popular shows.
The document discusses ownership and funding models of the BBC and The Walt Disney Company. The BBC is publicly owned by British citizens through television license fees, while Disney is a publicly traded company owned by shareholders.

The private sector involves for-profit companies and is the largest source of jobs. The BBC is a major private sector company in the UK funded through television licenses. It was founded in 1927 and has over 20,000 employees. The commercial sector is funded through advertising and seeks to generate profits through programming, merchandise, and other means. Major commercial sector companies include Sky, ITV, and Channel 4. These companies utilize diversification, cross-media ownership, and other strategies to expand their business and revenues. The impacts of these large media companies can be significant on both consumers and competitors.
The document discusses various technologies related to television, including satellite and cable television, major television providers, the history of the BBC, how television viewing has changed from analogue to digital, and the rise of internet streaming services. It also covers technologies like HD, 3D, pay-per-view, video on demand, digital video recorders, and the factors that enabled online streaming to become practical for consumers.
Netflix began its subscription streaming service in 1999 and has since expanded globally, with over 33 million U.S. subscribers alone by 2013. This widespread availability has benefited producers through increased revenue from subscriptions but also presents some disadvantages like differing release times for content between countries. The introduction of streaming on unlimited devices removed prior restrictions and helped Netflix attract more customers. High definition television transmissions began in the 1990s and became more widely available in Europe in the late 2000s. HDTV provides audiences with better picture quality but costs more for producers due to technology. Mobile devices like the iPad, released in 2010, allow media consumption on the go and simplify connectivity compared to earlier mobile phones.
Digital video represents moving visual images in digital form, providing cleaner images at higher resolutions and frame rates than analog video. While digital video cameras can be expensive and complicated to use, digital video allows for faster distribution online. High-definition television provides substantially higher image resolution than standard definition. In the UK, HD took some time to launch due to bandwidth limitations but is now widely available from providers like Freeview and Sky. Video on demand allows viewing of programs in real time over the internet or downloading to view later on devices like smartphones and smart TVs. While offering convenience, video on demand can suffer from bandwidth bottlenecks during high demand.

Video on demand allows viewing programs on demand over the internet or on devices.
The document summarizes key aspects of the British television industry and context surrounding the failed BBC sci-fi show "Class". It discusses the BBC's public service broadcaster model funded by license fees, the differences between terrestrial and digital TV channels, and the importance of scheduling and promotion for viewership. Regarding "Class", it notes the show was not properly scheduled or promoted across BBC platforms, was put in a late time slot unattractive to its target demographic, and failed to achieve the synergistic support seen for other BBC shows, leading to its cancellation after one season due to poor ratings.
Rating wars occur when TV channels compete for viewers by scheduling popular shows against each other. For example, in the past BBC aired Strictly Come Dancing at 7pm while ITV aired The X Factor at the same time, leading ITV to later air The X Factor at 8pm. Rating wars are important for advertisers to determine which channel has the largest audience. In 2014 BBC and ITV had a rating war during football World Cup scheduling that led soap operas to be rescheduled. Technologies like streaming services have impacted TV audiences by allowing people to watch content on demand. Regulations like watershed determine what content is suitable for children at different times of day.
The BBC and Walt Disney both utilize synergy to expand their brands across multiple media platforms. The BBC uses Doctor Who as an example, releasing related comics, magazines, toys and merchandise to engage more of the audience. Walt Disney was an early pioneer of synergy, licensing Mickey Mouse merchandise in the 1930s. More recently, the Avengers franchise expanded from comics to a series of highly successful films, related games, soundtracks and merchandise. Both companies leverage synergy to increase revenue, combine talents, and engage wider audiences without needing to create entirely new programs.
YouTube is a video sharing website launched in 2005 that allows users to upload, view, and share video content. It grew rapidly after launch and was purchased by Google in 2006. The site now hosts hundreds of hours of new video uploads each minute and reaches more 18-49 year olds than any cable network in the US. While it provides entertainment and opportunities for creators, YouTube also faces issues like inappropriate content and restrictions on creators. Overall, YouTube has become one of the most used sites on the internet and its future growth is expected to continue.
The document discusses the structure and ownership of media companies, including:
- Private companies like ITV that are funded through advertising and don't have strict SEC requirements.
- Public service ownership like the BBC which is government funded through TV licenses.
- Independent record labels that have more creative control but less funding than major labels.
- Media conglomerates like Disney that own companies across different media sectors.
It also covers different types of integration between media companies, such as horizontal, vertical, and cross-media integration.
The document discusses several key issues related to TV ratings and competition between channels:
1) Rating wars occur as channels battle for viewers during primetime by airing their most popular shows. Recent examples include competitions between BBC and ITV shows like Strictly Come Dancing and The X-Factor.
2) Primetime is very important for attracting advertisers, as they pay more to advertise during highly-viewed shows. Commercial channels rely more heavily on advertising revenue.
3) New technologies like on-demand viewing and streaming services have impacted ratings by allowing audiences to watch when they want. This threatens public broadcasters like BBC that rely on license fees.
This document discusses the history and development of streaming media and websites like Netflix and YouTube. It describes how ESPN streamed the first live event in 1995 and how companies like RealNetworks, Microsoft, and Adobe contributed to the evolution of streaming technology over the next decade. The document outlines advantages like access to a variety content from any location and disadvantages like dependence on internet connectivity and temporary availability of content. It concludes that while streaming technology is still improving, it has revolutionized media consumption.
Netflix began its subscription streaming service in 1999 and has since expanded globally, with over 33 million US subscribers alone by 2013. This widespread availability has increased Netflix's target audience but some content is still restricted by country. The lifting of streaming restrictions in 2008 allowed unlimited streaming and further grew Netflix's customer base. High definition television was first demonstrated in the 1930s but was not publicly deployed in Europe until the 1990s. HDTV provides audiences with better picture and sound quality compared to standard definition. However, HDTV technologies remain more expensive than standard definition options. The iPad, first released in 2010, can perform many mobile phone functions like photos, video and internet access without phone calling capabilities. It demonstrated the increased connectivity and simpl
BBC is funded primarily through an annual license fee paid by UK viewers. It is considered a public service broadcaster as it is not state-run but accountable to viewers through the license fee. BBC provides various TV channels and radio stations as services that deliver programming products for different audiences. It uses strategies like synergy to expand popular brands like Doctor Who across additional platforms. Regulatory bodies like BBC Trust and Ofcom oversee BBC's performance and ensure it meets standards.
Rating wars between TV channels occur during prime time when channels compete for viewers to earn more money from advertisements. Recent rating wars have included those between Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor on Saturday/Sunday nights. Strictly's viewership has increased in recent years while The X Factor's has declined. New technologies like streaming services and smartphones have impacted traditional TV viewing by allowing people to watch content on their own schedule and multitask with second screens.
The BBC is the largest public service broadcaster in the UK, employing over 20,000 staff. It is funded through an annual license fee paid by UK households. The BBC offers a wide range of TV and radio channels, websites, apps and other services to inform, educate and entertain audiences of all ages and interests across the UK and internationally. It aims to represent all parts of society respectfully and remain impartial on political and social issues.
Consumer products have become more affordable as competition has increased between companies. Television signals can be received via satellite, cable, or digitally. Satellite signals may be distorted while cable signals are less likely to cut out. The UK switched from analogue to digital signals because digital provided better quality and range. New technologies now allow for interactive and high definition television as well as 3D and on-demand viewing. Streaming content provides instant access online but can have downsides like ads or lag. Digital recorders give viewers more control over live programming.
Private and public ownership are the two types of television ownership. Private ownership refers to networks owned by private shareholders seeking profit, like ITV, while public ownership refers to public service networks like the BBC funded by taxpayers. Technology has advanced television from analogue to digital formats with high definition and on-demand viewing. Ofcom regulates television content and enforces broadcasting codes around protecting viewers, particularly children before the watershed at 9pm.
Issues in the industry is a huge aspect of media that must be known to all who work in it. My powerpoint includes aspects such as rating wars, technologies and regulatory bodies. Audience effect theories are also explained and applied.
The private sector involves companies that operate independently from the government for profit. The largest private sector company discussed is the BBC, which was founded in 1927 and is publicly owned but independent of government. It relies on public funding through television licensing fees. Commercial sector companies include Sky and ITV, which generate profit through advertising and subscription services. They are structured according to regulatory bodies like Ofcom and financed through various revenue streams like licensing fees and merchandise sales. Integration, diversification, and globalization allow companies to expand their business models and reach wider audiences, but can also impact jobs and competition between companies.
Ratings wars occur between broadcasting companies as they compete for the largest audience numbers, which are measured by BARB. Advertisers use these viewership numbers to determine which shows to advertise on in order to reach the biggest audience. Companies like ITV have moved timeslots for their shows like The X Factor in response to losing viewers to BBC shows like Strictly Come Dancing. New streaming services like Netflix and Amazon have also entered into ratings battles as they offer exclusive content to their subscribers.

The document discusses several theories related to how media and television content can influence audiences:
- Moral panic theory explains how the media can exaggerate issues and define people/groups as threats, potentially causing mass hysteria. It often involves five stages including defining a threat and authorities responding.
- Encoding/decoding theory suggests audiences actively derive their own meanings from media texts based on their experiences, which can be dominant, negotiated, or oppositional to the producer's intent.
- Uses and gratifications theory proposes audiences choose media to fulfill certain needs like information, entertainment, social interaction, personal identity, and escapism.

EVALUATING A COMPANY’S RESOURCES,
CAPABILITIES, AND COMPETITIVENESS
Please read these excerpts derived from the Netflix corporate Web site; then, fully respond to the questions that follow.
Netflix is the world’s leading Internet television network with over 53 million members in nearly 50 countries enjoying more than two billion hours of TV shows and movies per month, including original series, documentaries and feature films. Members can watch as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, on nearly any Internet-connected screen. Members can play, pause, and resume watching, all without commercials or commitments.
Netflix’s Long Term View:
Internet TV is replacing linear TV, Apps are replacing channels, and screens are proliferating.
As Internet TV grows from millions to billions, Netflix is leading the way around the world.
Linear TV is popular, but ripe for replacement.
People love TV content and still watch over a billion hours a day of linear TV.
But people don’t love the linear TV experience, where channels present programs at particular times on non-portable screens with complicated remote controls. Consumers have to navigate through a grid, or use DVRs which add an on-demand layer at the cost of storage and complexity. Finding good things to watch isn't easy or enjoyable. While hugely popular, the linear TV channel model is ripe for replacement.
The evolution to Internet TV apps has begun.
The world’s leading linear TV networks, such as HBO and ESPN, are moving into Internet TV. The ESPN app runs on many Internet platforms and is specifically designed to showcase sports, both real-time and catch up. HBO’s app makes its films and series more accessible than on HBO’s linear channel. The other major linear networks are not far behind.
Internet TV is better than linear TV in ways consumers care about. While Internet TV is only a small percentage of video viewing today, it will grow to replace linear TV because:
1. The Internet is getting faster, more reliable and more available;
2. Smart TV sales are increasing and eventually every TV will have Wi-Fi and apps;
3. Smart TV adapters are getting better and cheaper;
4. Tablet and smartphone viewing is increasing;
5. Internet TV apps get frequent improvement updates;
6. Streaming is the leading source for Ultra HD 4k video;
7. TV Everywhere provides an economic transition for existing networks; and
8. New entrants like Netflix are innovating rapidly and driving improvements.
Eventually, as linear TV is viewed less, the spectrum it now uses on cable, fiber, and over-the-air will be reallocated to expand Internet data transmission. Satellite TV subscribers will be fewer and more rural. The value of high-speed Internet will increase.
This transformation is occurring at different speeds in different nations. In the UK, for example, the BBC is already programming for its iPlayer app as well as its linear channels, .
TV has undergone such transformation over the past decade that a new name is needed to fully represent this evolved medium. In this presentation, Comcast Spotlight provides some insight on how marketers can navigate the new, increasingly complex reality of TV.
Viewers are consuming television content in new ways through online platforms and devices like games consoles. Research shows viewers want more interactivity during their TV experience. All types of viewers, including adults, teenagers, TV companies and advertisers would benefit from a new device that allows searching for and accessing any program whenever wanted from one central source while enabling social interaction. Such a device could incorporate TV, computer, DVD and games console functions and help secure the future of TV manufacturing companies and internet service providers through increased customers and usage.

What is ott (over the top) understanding the video streaming app developmentMayaJosephine
Over-The-Top(OTT) is the one of the most wanted services of Media Streaming Industry in this Corona Virus Pandemic Season. In this blog, you will come to know all about OTT and Business Opportunities you get through OTT.
This document discusses different types of media ownership including private, public service, independent, conglomerate, horizontal integration, and vertical integration. It provides examples for each type such as ITV representing private ownership and the BBC representing public service. The document also covers cross media convergence, synergy, and provides a case study on ITV including its structure, ownership, competitors, audiences, and some controversies.
The document discusses the commissioning process at BBC Three. It explains that BBC Three aims to enrich peoples' lives through entertaining and educational programming as a publicly funded broadcaster. It outlines BBC Three's priorities around young audiences, innovation, and talent development. The commissioning process involves pitching ideas that fit the channel's priorities to commissioning editors who work with the channel controller to schedule programming. Funding comes from the TV license fee.
Technology plays an important role in the film industry. Various consumer products like TVs, cameras, computers, smartphones, and software are used at different stages of film production and distribution. TVs allow viewing of footage, cameras are used for filming, computers store and edit scenes, smartphones aid communication, and editing software assembles the final film. The film industry also utilizes digital distribution methods like streaming, high-definition formats, and on-demand viewing to reach wider audiences.
Public service broadcasters receive funding from TV license fees paid by citizens as well as public financing. Commercial broadcasters earn profits primarily through television advertisements. Subscription channels earn income by charging monthly or yearly fees for additional channels beyond a basic subscription.
The BBC and Channel 4 are examples of public service broadcasters in the UK, as they are funded by TV license fees. ITV and Channel 5 are commercial broadcasters that rely on advertising revenues. Sky and Virgin are subscription channels that require payment for expanded channel packages. Each type of broadcaster has different revenue models, with public broadcasters depending on license fees, commercial on advertising, and subscriptions relying on monthly subscriber payments.

Answers to my questionnaire to my music video.. RachaelCollinson
Rachael Collinson conducted a survey of 50 people through a questionnaire about their music preferences and habits on YouTube. She found that 74% of respondents enjoyed music and 66% had a YouTube account. When asked about specific artists and genres, 62% used YouTube to look up lyrics, 66% had heard of singer Christina Grimmie, and 70% of those thought she was a good singer. Most respondents, 94%, disagreed with using auto-tune to alter a singer's voice. While the data quality was not high, it provided enough information for Rachael to create a report and showed that 74% use YouTube to watch music videos.
This document discusses different types of camera shots and setups. It provides examples of close-ups, two shots, long shots, and other shots. It explains that single camera setups are used for films and documentaries as it allows more artistic control over lighting and angles. Multi-camera setups use 3-4 cameras simultaneously for live audience shows to have alternative angles and make editing easier. Reasons for setup choices include filming complexity, time constraints, and maintaining visual consistency across shots.
The author decided to try and get permission from Christina Aguilera or her producer to use one of her songs.

3. Who owns and runs sky?
The chairman of Sky is called Nicholas
Ferguson.
The man who is in charge is called Keith
Rupert Murdoch more commonly known
as Rupert Murdoch.
News corporation owns 39.14 per cent
stake in sky.
Know body knows who owns the 60.86 per
cent stake in sky.
4. What type of ownership is sky?
Sky is owned by a company who owns lots of
other companies, the company who owns sky is
called “news corporation”. Sky is a private
owned company which means they can charge
as much money as they want for people to call
up for competitions and all the money goes the
company.
5. • News corp. wasn‟t allowed to buy all of sky
because it would have been to powerful as
you can see from this graph they already
own so much press and if they owned
more of the television industry they would
have owned to much.
6. Advantages and disadvantages of
private broadcasting
Advantages Disadvantages
Extra programs You have to pay
More channels More censorship
Earn more money from
advertisements
Less control
more exposure (which can turn out
to be a disadvantage)
Can go bankrupt
A greater influence over people They need more staff to make
adverts and to control the
company
7. Who owns and runs the BBC?
The public own the BBC
The Lord Patten of Barnes is the chairman of the
BBC trust he is known as Chris Patten.
The director general of the BBC is George
Entwistle (editor-in-chief of the BBC. The
position was formerly appointed by some
governors)
8. What type of ownership is the
BBC?
The BBC is a public broadcasting company, its
different from sky because when they make
money it has to go to a charity. All of the BBC‟s
money comes from the television license that
people pay, the price of the persons television
license depends on the size of their property.
9. Advantages and disadvantages of
public broadcasting
Advantage Disadvantage
More profit The T.V license is to expensive
They are protected by the
government (cant go bankrupt)
Trying to entertain all ages
They are honest They put shows on that you may
not like
They earn a lot for charity The public control the programs
(become bland)
Wide range of programs The BBC have a restricted amount
of money per year
11. How the companies are run.
What are some of the issues relating to
way each business is run?
12. How the companies are run.
(BBC)
- BBC Trust – A group of people who decide what should and shouldn‟t be on
TV at a specific time. i.e.; Program containing offensive language on before
the watershed (2100 hours).
- The trustees – 12 people who make up the BBC Trust.
- Lord Patten is the chairman of the BBC Trust.
13. How the companies are run.
(Sky)
http://corporate.sky.com/documents/pdf/bigger_picture_publications/skys_w
ays_of_working
Executive team – these are a group of 12 people who are called the
executives.
Nicholas Ferguson is the chairman and non-executive director of Sky.
14. What are some of the issues
relating to way each business is
run? The public have to pay for it even if they don‟t want to watch those
channels.
Too much control over the channels which means they can have influence
on your life.
Certain programs can only be shown after the watershed which is at 2100
hours.
17. Spin offs
Company's generate income by making a spin of, another program for
example;
Doctor who – torchwood
Bear in the big blue house – breakfast with bear
Csi: crime scene investigation – Csi: Miami, Csi: new York
And many more.
Spin-offs are often made for investments in company, In a spin-off, a
parent company distributes 100% of its ownership interests.
Parent company- a
company's that owns other
company‟s.
18. merchandise
Some companies earn money by franchising their merchandise, to other
company‟s around the world, such as BBC, sell their products to BBC
America so they can earn more money.
This is good because they
can earn extra funding‟s
towards the company to
make more merchandise or
new television programs.
19. subscribers
Company‟s like sky and Netflix can earn money by subscribing films
and other television programs across the web, console or TV, this is a
good way for company‟s to earn money because the audience wont
have to watch the adverts if they watch a program through Netflix or
sky plus.
The bad thing about this is that people would
stop watching programs on normal TV and
start to watch it through Netflix and company‟s
like that, so then people wont have to pay for
their TV license.
22. News corporation
News corporation is run by a board of
directors and it controlled entities that they
set the strategic direction and oversees
management with a focus on enhancing
the interest in the stokehold. The board is
also responsible for the corporate
governance of the company. Fox
entertainment is also apart of new
corporation and runs the video department
23. Size of board
There are 16 people on the news corporation
board of directors they are:
Rupert Murdoch as chairman and chief executive
officer
Joel I. Klein as executive vice president
Jose Maria Aznar as president
Andrew S.B. Knight as director
Natalise Bancroft as chairman
James R. Murdoch as Deputy chief operating
officer
Peter L. Barnes as chairmen
Lachlan K. Murdoch as Executive chairman
24. Chase Carey as Deputy chairman
Arthur M. Siskind as senior advisor to the
chairman
David F. DeVoe as chief financial officer
John l. Thornton as professor and director of
the global leadership program and chairmen
of the advisory board
Viet Dinh as professor of law
Stanley S.SHUMAN as managing director
Sir Roderick I. Eddington as non-executive
chairman
25. YouTube
YouTube is run by Salar Kamangar as
CEO and Chad Hurley as Advisor and it
is a video sharing website on which
users can upload, view and share
videos unregistered users can watch
video, while registered users can upload
an unlimited number of videos. In 2006
YouTube was bought by Google for US
$1.65 billion and now operates as a
subsidiary of Google.
26. Netflix
Netflix is an American provider of on
demand internet streaming media in the
united states, Canada, Latin America,
the Caribbean, united kingdom and
Ireland and flat rate DVD by mail in the
united states. The company is run by
Reed hasting co-founder and CEO,
David Wells as CFO, Neil Hunt as CTO
and Ted Sarandon as chief content
officers
29. Pay-per view broadcasting
TV companies such as HBO have a special feature
called „Pay-per view broadcasting‟ which allow
anyone who have the ability to watch special
programmes such as concerts and fights or games.
Pay-per view is most commonly available at most
hotels and people who have a cable TV broadcaster
such as DIRECTV (In America). This generates
income by having people pay a large sum of money
depending on broadcaster, which can range from
any price, such as £300 for a year nascar/F1 pass.
I think this is a good idea because it lets me see
things I might want to see at home instead of going
to places such as the O2 arena to see a concert or
30. Subscribers
Subscribers are another good way of generating income
because they allow people to view everything a producer
creates such as on YouTube where someone can
subscribe to people such as Kip Kay who creates
homemade gadgets and helps people build things which
needs money which can be bought from his website.
Subscribing can also cost people money for a timely
subscriptions such as online e-broadcasting sites which
have a minimal fee at an annual time.
I think this is good because it allows me to view people I
like very much and I‟d be willing to pay to view, and it
also makes sure I never miss a video I might want to
view
31. SKY/TiVo Box
Sky Box/TiVo are special features which allow people to pause
rewind and record live TV. It is a special breakthrough product from
certain companies which hardly any have. It is loved by many people,
but it can be very expensive, but most people find it effective and
very useful if you can‟t get the features that sky have on most other
companies do not offer. This generates income by having people pay
a fee for the box itself then the weekly/monthly annual fee, which is
about £35 for the box itself, which sells millions each day earning lots
of money
I think this is good because it lets me pause and rewind/fast
forward/record TV I like and let me watch that recording whenever I
want for free
32. E-Broadcasting
E-Broadcasting (Love film/Netflix/Amazon) these are very good
because they allow people to watch shows and movies they really
like on the internet and are available and it lets them watch whatever
they want when they want if they have the device such as XBOX 360
or on a pc. They make money by people being subscribed to the
networks that require them to pay a small annual fee that can be at a
very low price depending on the company, such as Netflix Which is
£10 a month
I think this is good because it lets me watch something I wan
whenever I want online after I pay a minimal fee if I miss something
good, such as Dr Who on the BBC iPlayer
33. DVD/BLU RAY re-release
DVD/BLU RAY re-release is where a company release a DVD/video
such as the Star Wars Saga which all were released on original DVD,
then in Blu ray and then re-released in the ultimate editions in HD
with hours of bonus content. This generates income by causing
people who love movie sagas so much they will want to purchase it in
any version that comes out, and it generates income very well by
doing this.
I think this is good because it lets me watch my favorite things I like
such as Anchorman and other movies, in very high quality such as in
ultimate edition packs with many hundreds of hours of bonus content
35. My Question for group B was –
What technology do the
companies use?
Here are some examples:…..
36. Video Tapes.
A video tape is a recording
of sound and imagery they
were created to hold a
virtual video. Videos were
invented in 1951 by a man
named John T. Mullin. The
last VHS was released for
The film the history of
Violence.
37. DVDS.
DVD stands for Digital Video
Disc. A DVD is a recordable
disc it can hold up to 2 hours
of
recordable footage. The
digital
disc was created by Dr.
Dennis
Wayne Bressack and EFT
Master Andy Bryce in 2007.
The
DVD was created to develop
a
larger information storage
unit
38. Online Streaming.
What is Online Streaming. Online
Streaming means being able to instantly
watch film‟s or music video‟s online either
from your computer or any other internet
connected device‟s. Online Streaming
Was created because people find it easier
to watch the programs they wanted and
also cheaper as they watch it online.
Online streaming may allow you to
download films you enjoy but this is wrong
because it is pirate copying and by pirate
copying films it causes the PC to gain
virus's.
39. Blu Rays.
Blu-ray also known as Blu-ray Disc, is the name
of
a new optical disc format jointly developed by
the
Blu-ray Disc Association. The first Blu-ray Disc
prototypes were unveiled in October 2000 by the
company SONY, the First prototype player was
Released In April 2003 in Japan. Afterwards, it
continued to be developed until its official
release in
June 2006. the Blu-ray digital video disc was
created
because it allows the user to hold more data on
the
disc then the the normal DVD disc. the name
40. HD DVD.
HD DVD stands for. High-Definition Digital Video
Disc. HD DVD is a discontinued high-density
optical disc format for storing data and high-
definition video. Supported principally by
Toshiba, HD DVD was envisioned to be the
successor to the standard DVD format. The first
HD DVD player was released On March 31,
2006 Toshiba released their first consumer-
based HD DVD player in Japan at ¥110,000 (US
$934). HD DVD was released in the United
States on April 18, 2006, with players priced at
$499 and $799. The first HD DVD titles were
released on April 18, 2006. They were The Last
Samurai, Million Dollar Baby, and The Phantom
of the Opera by Warner Home Video and
Serenity by Universal Studios. The HD DVD was
created by Toshiba to store data and high-
definition films.
41. APPLE TV.
Apple TV is a digital media receiver developed
and sold by the company Apple. It is a small
form factor network appliance, designed to
play digital content from all the top brands
allowing you to watch movies, listen to music
etc…. The APPLE TV was created by APPLE
inc in 1977. In September 2006 APPLE first
announced a preview of the APPLE TV, and
began showing the product the following
March. In September 2010, Apple announced
a second-generation version of the Apple TV.
About one-quarter of the size and one-third of
the price of the original Apple TV, the new
device could stream from iTunes and video. A
third generation of the device was introduced
at an Apple event on March 7, 2012, with new
features such as higher resolution and a new
user interface. Although the APPLE TV has
not yet been released the company is shore
42. I think that the video tapes were a great leap
into the modern day‟s technology, allowing
us to watch movies through house hold
items. Unfortunately due to it being a tape
the metallic tape holding the sound and
imagery would get tangled, therefore people
would have to rearrange the data. Also
sometimes the tape would get jammed in
the cassette preventing use from watching
other movies.
Video Tape Over View.
43. DVD Over View.
I personally think that the DVD was and still is
fantastic, even today it still provides us and allows
use to still watch our favorite films, unfortunately
most films made before the first Digital Video Disc
was invented only for the Video Tape this
prevented us from watching movies from Walt
Disney and other film companies. On the plus side
it allows use to store more data and allows use to
watch newer movies. The most normal problem
with the DVD is the fact that it is easy to scratch
and with the scratch‟s it prevents further watching.
44. Online Streaming Over View.
Online streaming is the next technology old is out new
is in!
Online streaming is used more in this century then any
previous ones this is because as time goes on more and
more movies are added to the internet. Online Streaming is
the new generation because unlike Video Tape‟s, DVDS
etc… the web dose not scratch, tangle or annoy, all you have
to do is sit there and depending on the speed of you're PC
you are able to watch films straight away. The downside is
the broadband speed is to slow knower days for online
streaming to be top the broadband speed will have to speed
up and improve the connections around the world.
47. analogue
It was the original television transmission
and people only got a few channels like
BBC one and two and ITV and channel 4
and 5
Analogue was past to antennas that were
on the roofs of houses though radio waves
were they could get limited channels for a
short amount of time.
At the end of this year near October
analogue has been said that it will end for
good.
48. satellite
This is the previous way of transmitting
channels and that everyone is moving
onto because it give a wider range of
channels with over 900 and gives the best
family experience with movies and music
on demand.
With satellite a dish is put onto homes and
channels are transmitted from a satellite
from space.
49. Cable
Cable is not as old as analogue but is
older then satellite it was the way of
transmitting television but cable is still
used more and more as it provides
internet sources and also home telephone
lines.
Cable is transmitted from underground
thought coaxial cables that can power a lot
of things in your house hold even DVD
players.
50. Digital
Its a lot like sky but without the paying of channels you
can just buy it and that‟s it and they don‟t even cost a lot,
although it doesn‟t have as much channels its still just as
good..
The channels get transmitted the same as analogue
though an antenna that is on the roof. We changed from
analogue for a lot of reasons but a few are because with
digital the signal wont be corrupted and the features and
picture is a lot better with digital.
Also people prefer CDs now a days (which are digital)
rather then vinyl records (which are analogue).
51. Emerging technologies
3D – they are making 3D without the
glasses making the experience even more
real.
HD – it will be delivering 4x the resolution
then HD now and the definition is going to
be even greater.
TV for Smartphone's – TV will be
controlled by your mobile phones were
you will be able to watch the TV while
playing games and receiving emails.
55. When the product is first sold to the retailer by
the distributors it is for about £10.50 to £11.80.
the retailer then sell the product at a loss for
the first few weeks. They make a loss of about
£2. They then raise the prices back up to gain
a profit. They do this to draw people in to the
store so that they buy the product and
hopefully also other products related to the
first product.
56. Some of the issues relating to the
way each business is run.
Piracy: This is a issue because people use this illegal method to
watch the film. People use this method as they don‟t have to pay for
the content or sometimes they have to pay a small piece of the
actual price. this decreases the amount of profits for the actual
content owners.
Online streaming inappropriate content: This is an issue because
young children can access the websites at any time. This means
that they can watch any type of movie. This is a issue because their
parents or guardians would not want them to be watching different
types of inappropriate content. Another issue is that the actual
content owners lose money as some people have new movies that
have not been paid for.
DVD sales decreases because of interactive media: This is an issue
because people don‟t have have to buy DVDs as they can access
the same content on the interactive media. This means that DVDs
sales are decreasing rapidly. Many DVD companies will have to
close down as they will see a rapid increase in their losses.
58. What us meant by the term
independent producers?
Independent producers are company's who can sell there products to any channel. For
example :
Endemol Programs
1. Deal or no deal
2. Benidorm
3. Big Brother
4. 8 out of 10 cats
Syco Programs
1. Red or black
2. X Factor USA
3. Britain’s got talent
4. Piers Morgan's Life Stories
59. How and why is the video industry
regulated?
The video industry is regulated by the video standards council. There job is to develop
and oversee a Code of Practice. The video industry also has a lot of the same
regulations as TV for example the equal rights law and libel law. These regulations
are put in place for the publics interest. One of the main regulation’s for the video
industry is BBFC
BBFC classifies video’s/DVD’s this helps protect the public, especially children from
content which might raise harm risk.
BBFC empower the public, especially parents to make informed viewing choices
BBFC provide an effective service to enforcement agencies.
VSC also regulate the video industry. They oversee a Code of Practice designed to
promote high standards within the video industry. They have recently expanded to
promote high standards within the computer games industry.
60. How is the video industry linked
to the TV industry?
•The TV Industry actually makes the Video Industry for example The BBC will
have a video section online
•The TV Industry has the same Rules and regulations for example equal rights
and libel.
•Both of these industry will soon all be on the internet because the internet lets
you watch TV and Video at any time of the day, therefore nobody will want to sit
down at a specific time to watch a video or a TV Program.
• BBC struck a deal with YouTube to promote their products in the Video industry
through YouTube. „‟ The BBC hopes that the deal will help it reach YouTube's
monthly audience of more than 70 million users and drive extra traffic to its own
website‟‟
61. YouTube/channel 4
YouTube and channel 4 signed a deal to become the first
broadcaster worldwide to make full-length TV shows such as Skins
available to users of the Google-owned video-sharing website.
Channel 4 gets to advertise on YouTube and gets 70% of the profit
whilst YouTube gets 30%. The deal will run for 3 years. A few
examples of what the YouTube viewers will now be able to see are :
Brass Eye
Darren brown
Hollyoaks
Peep Show
