That did not mean that everything was perfect for everyone. Mixed within that data, we noted that there were both challenges and opportunities for many different parties. For content producers, while it had become cheaper and easier to produce and dis- tribute their works (and to connect with fans), it also meant that there was significantly more competition to deal with. Similarly, for traditional middlemen (especially those in gatekeeper roles), the shift was monumental. The changing nature of the creation, distribution and promotion of content often meant that business models that relied on being a gatekeeper were suddenly less powerful. In short: the creative output continued to grow and the money continued to flow — but often in very different ways that created both opportunities and challenges for all participants. Last year, we released the second report in the series, focusing on what was happening in six European countries. The reason behind this was to explore how accurately the global results were reflected in certain individual countries. What the data showed was that — for the most part — the global trends stayed true within individual countries, but with some key differences. Certain industries struggled more than others, giving us glimpses into different challenges and the ways different policies might impact the content industries. For example, there was a pretty clear correlation between the number of authorized digital music services and music revenue — suggesting that more convenient licensing policies likely resulted in more revenue. This report is the third in the series, and it focuses on what the data says about the US specifically. The US, of course, remains the leader in the production of music, movies, books and video games — and those works are exported all over the world. So fo- cusing on the US gives us a glimpse into what’s happening around the globe, but with the added benefit of more widely available and much more consistent measurements and data.

    Development of the Global Film Industry The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional produc- tion companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a “big picture” view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated develop- ment of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world.

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

    Exporting Canadian Feature Films in Global Markets TRENDS, OPPORTUNITIES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS MARIA DE ROSA | MARILYN BURGESS COMMUNICATIONS MDR (A DIVISION OF NORIBCO INC.) APRIL 2017 PRODUCED WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF 1 EXPORTING CANADIAN FEATURE FILMS IN GLOBAL MARKETS Acknowledgements This study was commissioned by the Canadian Media Producers Association (CMPA), in partnership with the Association québécoise de la production médiatique (AQPM), the Cana- da Media Fund (CMF), and Telefilm Canada. The following report solely reflects the views of the authors. Findings, conclusions or recom- mendations expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the funders of this report, who are in no way bound by any recommendations con- tained herein. 2 EXPORTING CANADIAN FEATURE FILMS IN GLOBAL MARKETS Executive Summary Goals of the Study The goals of this study were three-fold: 1. To identify key trends in international sales of feature films generally and Canadian independent feature films specifically; 2. To provide intelligence on challenges and opportunities to increase foreign sales; 3. To identify policies, programs and initiatives to support foreign sales in other jurisdic- tions and make recommendations to ensure that Canadian initiatives are competitive. For the purpose of this study, Canadian film exports were defined as sales of rights. These included pre-sales, sold in advance of the completion of films and often used to finance pro- duction, and sales of rights to completed feature films. In other jurisdictions foreign sales are being measured in a number of ways, including the number of box office admissions, box of- fice revenues, and sales of rights.

  • Success in the Film Industry
    1 Abstract This paper attempted to answer the research question, “What determines a film’s success at the domestic box office?” The authors used an OLS regression model on data set of 497 films from the randomly selected years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2011, taking the top 100 films from each year. Domestic box-office receipts served as the dependent variable, with MPAA ratings, critical reviews, source material, release date, and number of screens acting as independent variables in the final regression. Results showed that source material, critical reviews, number of screens, release date, and some genres were statistically significant and positively contributed to a film’s domestic revenue. Introduction Each year in the United States, hundreds of films are released to domestic audiences in the hope that they will become the next “blockbuster.” The modern film industry, a business of nearly 10 billion dollars per year, is a cutthroat business (Box Office Mojo). According to industry statistics, six or seven of every ten films are unprofitable, making the business risky at best (Brewer, 2006). Given this inherent risk, how do film studios decide which films to place their bets on? Are there common factors, such as critical reviews, MPAA rating, or production budget, which explain one film’s monetary success relative to another? This question forms the basis of this research project. To answer it, we estimated an Ordinary Least Squares regression that attempted to explain the monetary success of the top films in five years out of the past decade. This regression expanded our original dataset, which used 100 randomly selected films from 2004.

Savage 1 “Who’s gonna turn down a Junior Mint? It’s chocolate, it’s peppermint ─it’s delicious!” While this may sound like your typical television commercial, you can thank Jerry Seinfeld and his butter fingers for what is actually one of the most renowned lines in television history. As part of a 1993 episode of Seinfeld , subsequently known as “The Junior Mint,” these infamous words have certainly gained a bit more attention than the show’s writers had originally bargained for. In fact, those of you who were annoyed by last year’s focus on a McDonald’s McFlurry on NBC’s 30 Rock may want to take up your beef with Seinfeld’s producers for supposedly showing marketers the way to the future ("Brand Practice: Product Integration Is as Old as Hollywood Itself").
