Document Summary
Why business is so important to media entertainment. Retail and subsidy are involved directly with business. Contracts: agreements about who gets how much: profit participation you get this much if this happens, and this much if this happens, option/purchase big impact on what you can do. Independent film funding & financing (in contrast with studio films) Entering into deals to get your film seen. Oligopoly of studio systems from the past separate but interlocking companies. Financing: networks & studios (looking for people to join in to help come up with the money) Content makers: production companies & independents looking for money (entering into contracts) Distribution: theaters, licensing, digital (looking for things to sell) Not forced to follow a schedule like when airing on tv. Distribution: larger viewership than most major tv networks (same volume subscriber base as directv and comcast) Youtube/hulu: started as diy & streaming existing shows. Ex: high maintenance (10-20 minutes) is now airing on hbo (full episodes)
