The document discusses the impact of piracy and digital distribution on the film industry. If downloading films becomes common, it could negatively impact cinema revenues and film production. Simultaneous online/theater releases may also hurt cinema revenues. Digital screens provide cinemas flexibility in screening films, but their economic effects are unclear. The economic crisis may harm the industry's finances. Ensuring diverse films receive theater releases is important to support specialized/foreign films and cinema variety.

Media conglomerates own multiple companies across various media like television, film, and radio. They have significant financial resources to invest in film production and can market films across their subsidiaries using synergistic strategies. Some producers work independently with smaller budgets around 1-2 million pounds. Global media ownership is increasingly concentrated among a small number of Western conglomerates, leading to an oligopoly. Companies practice cross-media ownership and convergence by distributing content across their owned platforms like films in theaters, on phones, and online to maximize profits.

st barts online sixth form course guide 2017-18
This document provides information about courses offered at St Bartholomew's School Sixth Form for the 2018-2019 academic year. It begins with an introduction from the Head of Sixth Form and information about exam results from 2017 which were in the top 25% nationally. It then provides details on over 30 A Level and BTEC courses available, including course content, assessment methods, potential careers, and entry requirements. Extracurricular opportunities are also highlighted through activities like Extended Project Qualifications (EPQs) and the school's wide range of clubs and sports.
Own experiences
The candidate discusses how their personal experiences with media consumption illustrate broader audience trends. Films are no longer only viewed at cinemas, but can now be watched at home on televisions, phones, and other devices. Media companies have adapted by offering deals to attract viewers and purchasing rights to show films on television channels. This has taken viewers away from cinemas and placed them in similar home viewing situations, while also changing how films are marketed through ubiquitous blockbuster advertising that can drown out smaller film companies.
Notes from-the-textbook
The film industry involves three main components: production, distribution, and consumption. Production is the making of films, distribution is promoting and releasing films in cinemas and home media, and consumption is audiences paying to view films. The US film industry has significant advantages over other countries due to its large domestic market and capital resources, dominating the global distribution of films. However, increased digital technologies have benefits for independent and low-budget filmmakers by enabling new forms of distribution outside the traditional system.
Introductory unit
This document provides an introduction to new media technologies and how they are changing the relationship between media texts and audiences. It discusses several key aspects of new media, including:
- Web 2.0 and how it allows for user-generated content and a more democratic spirit on the internet.
- The concept of convergence, where technologies and media industries are combining platforms so content can be distributed across multiple channels.
- How audiences have become more active in consuming, sharing, and creating media online rather than just passive receivers of content from media companies.
- The democratic potential of new media where everyday people can now participate in journalism and media production through platforms like blogs and user-generated content sites.
Filmstuds
The film industry involves three main stages of production: pre-production, production, and post-production. It also involves four key phases: production, distribution, marketing, and exhibition. While the major studios once dominated during the "Old Hollywood" era, their control decreased after regulations in the 1940s. However, today the major studios have regained control through mergers and as parts of larger media conglomerates, exploiting synergy across their businesses. Now, independent producers develop packages that studios finance and distribute globally across various revenue windows.
Film industry unit intro
This document provides context and instructions for a film industry exam focusing on Working Title Films as a case study. It outlines that the exam will require demonstrating awareness of: [1] broad contextual issues in the media industry like ownership, convergence, and globalization; [2] how new media impacts the industry; and [3] using case studies to support arguments. Students should focus on the levels of production, distribution, exhibition, and consumption of films through case studies of companies like Working Title Films. The exam question may ask students to discuss how media products reach audiences within a studied media area or how institutions target specific audiences.
Film & new media issues for discussion
CGI has changed audience experiences and perceptions of reality in cinema. IMAX cinemas have had impact through their widespread appeal, targeting audiences with immersive experiences marketed effectively. DVD technologies have changed viewing habits by challenging traditional film-going in theaters and reselling content consumers already own through extras. New digital technologies have changed home movie-making and allowed independent distribution over the internet in some cases. Blockbuster films have become global merchandising enterprises. Streaming and downloading films online is increasingly popular and may replace DVD watching.
Big 6

The document discusses trends in media consumption among young people and how they relate to Working Title Films. It notes that young people have short attention spans unless something grabs them instantly, and they prefer instant gratification over slow narratives. They also tend to watch media alone on personal devices and are used to amateur visual styles from YouTube. As a result, young people may find films too long and passive compared to other media. The document asks the reader to reflect on which Working Title films they have seen and how, and whether those films seem intended for their demographic.
7audiences (1)
Working Title films target British audiences by portraying an idealized version of Britain that is overwhelmingly white, middle-class, and avoids contemporary social issues. This "comfortable" portrayal differs from films by British auteurs like Mike Leigh that are more provocative. The films also seem to appeal to notions of Britishness represented by characters like Hugh Grant's bumbling Englishmen. When targeting international audiences, Working Title films emphasize stereotypical British settings and landmarks that foreign audiences would recognize to make the films more appealing and marketable overseas.
1media ownership
Working Title Films began as a small independent production company in the UK that struggled to find funding until partnering with larger media companies like Channel 4 and Polygram. After Polygram was acquired by Universal Pictures, Working Title became majority owned by Universal Pictures' parent company NBC Universal. While now part of a large conglomerate, Working Title retains creative autonomy and produces films appealing to both UK and global audiences, maintaining their British identity while benefiting from Universal's financial backing and global distribution.

The soldier by catheriine m
Rupert Brooke was an English soldier and poet who wrote "The Soldier" shortly before his death during World War I. In the poem, he expresses his wish that if he were to die in a foreign land, that patch of earth would forever be considered part of England. He also hopes that his body, which was shaped by England, will enrich the soil and that his heart and spirit will live on eternally, continuing to experience the sights, sounds, and feelings of his native England.
The soilder alex twaites
This poem reflects on what it means to die abroad while serving one's country. It suggests that even if buried overseas, a piece of that land will forever belong to England since it contains the remains of a soldier who was born, shaped and given life by England. The soldier's heart and soul, now shed of evil, will live on as a pulse in the eternal mind.
The soldier by emma corbett
This poem reflects on dying in a foreign land and how that land will always be a part of England. Even though the soldier's body rests overseas, his heart and spirit remain English as he was shaped by his homeland - the flowers, fields, rivers, sun, laughter with friends and gentleness of heart that made him who he was. A piece of England now resides in the foreign soil where he is buried.
