It is one of the major film studios, it is a subsidiary of Time Warner, with its headquarters in Burbank, California (Hollywood, LA again).

- 9. Problems the film Industry faces: The problems that the media technology have created for the film industry include things such as illegal downloading which means that the film industry loses out on profits as people now download the movies for free. This also results in people watching the movies at home rather then going to the cinema and paying for them, also this means that they do not buy the film when it becomes realised on DVD. A lot more people will be spending their time using the new technology rather then spending money that the film industry should earn.
- 10. Some of the things the film industry has done to over come these problems: The film industry have improved viewings in the cinema such as 3D, this means the target audience who are downloading the movies/ films illegally loose the quality of the film and are not satisfied with it which makes them go back to the cinema.
