    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.

  • Runaway Film Production: a Critical History of Hollywood’S Outsourcing Discourse
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository RUNAWAY FILM PRODUCTION: A CRITICAL HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD’S OUTSOURCING DISCOURSE BY CAMILLE K. YALE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John C. Nerone, Chair and Director of Research Professor James W. Hay Professor Steven G. Jones, University of Illinois at Chicago Professor Cameron R. McCarthy ABSTRACT Runaway production is a phrase commonly used by Hollywood film and television production labor to describe the outsourcing of production work to foreign locations. It is an issue that has been credited with siphoning tens of millions of dollars and thousands of jobs from the U.S. economy. Despite broad interest in runaway production by journalists, politicians, academics, and media labor interests, and despite its potential impact on hundreds of thousands—and perhaps millions—of workers in the U.S., there has been very little critical analysis of its historical development and function as a political and economic discourse. Through extensive archival research, this dissertation critically examines the history of runaway production, from its introduction in postwar Hollywood to its present use in describing the development of highly competitive television and film production industries in Canada. From a political economic perspective, I argue that the history of runaway production demonstrates how Hollywood’s multinational media corporations have leveraged production work to cultivate goodwill and industry-friendly trade policies across global media markets.

This is not only a domestic issue but needs to be addressed on a global scale. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the DOE projects that in the period 2005–2030, energy consumption in developed nations will grow by 19 percent, while developing nations will increase their energy consumption by 85 percent (EIA-DOE 2008c). Altogether, world energy consumption is expected to grow by 50 percent over that 25 year period 1. “Enabling renewable energy to achieve its potential in the U.S. energy mix will require a long- term, consistent policy approach to address cost, regulatory, and transmission infrastructure challenges. For solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, basic research is particularly important to make the needed improvements in cost and performance” 2. “The long-term prosperity of the United States depends on continued innovation in technologies for electric power generation” 3 Why photovoltaics? There was a time when this was a difficult question to answer. Fossil fuel was plentiful and apparently without end, and the earth’s environment appeared resilient.

These are internal aids used for the promotion of social and economic policy objectives. as referred to in Article 11 of the Subsidies Code. The EEC is of the opinion that such programmes do not constitute subsidies in terms of Article XVI. The attached notification comprises a Community contribution and a contribution in respect of two member States - Germany and Belgium. 84-1591 L/5603/Add.15/Suppl.1 Page 2 STEEL INDUSTRY 1.1 Aids to the steel industry are the subject of a code of aids that was instituted in 1980 and strengthened in 1981. 1.2 In February 1980, when the Commission made its decision regarding specific aids to the steel industry, the prolonged crisis in that industry had weakened the financial position of most steel undertakings to a point where they were unable to carry out the restructuring which was needed, in particular, to adapt capacity to foreseeable demand. The essential aim of the decision was to establish a Community aid system under which specific aids couId be accorded to the steel industry for certain defined purposes, provided that they promoted restructuring, were restricted in duration and intensity and did not provoke unacceptable distortions of competition. 1.3 Having regard to the increasingly grave crisis in the steel industry, this decision on aids was no longer an adequate instrument to deal with the² problems arising and, in August 1981, the Commission adopted a new decision which is applicable until the end of 1985.

  • The Roles of the Film Production Team Did You Know That Student
    The Roles of the Film Production Team Did you know that student filmmakers can win Oscars? Winners who went on to fame include Robert Zemeckis, Spike Lee, Trey Parker and John Lasseter. BY JACLYN BELL Did you know that student filmmakers can win Oscars? Winners who went on to fame include Robert Zemeckis, Spike Lee, Trey Parker and John Lasseter. They began by working with others on a production team. They also knew that in order to understand film as an art form, they had to consider the jobs of the numerous individuals who work together to make the film a reality. If you are an educator and filming in the classroom, consider teams of no more than 5 students. All the roles listed below can be shared by multiple students, thus making the learning all the more well rounded. Or, if you are making a film on your own, consider how you can combine the following roles throughout the filmmaking process, and think about who can assist you when you need help. Producer This person is essentially the group leader and is responsible for managing the production from start to finish. The producer develops the proJect from the initial idea, makes sure the script is finalized, arranges the financing and manages the production team that makes the film. The producer also coordinates the filmmaking process to ensure that everyone involved in the proJect is working on schedule and on budget. Without the producer at the helm, films do not get made. Director The director is primarily responsible for overseeing the shooting and assembly of a film.

  • The Effect of Film Industry on Tourism ∗
    WINTER IS COMING! OR NOT? THE EFFECT OF FILM INDUSTRY ON TOURISM ∗ Marina Tkalecy Ivan Zili´cˇ z Vedran Recherx Abstract Nowadays it seems there is competition in attracting film producers to screen their produc- tions in specific locations, but at the same time, there is also a lack of data-driven academic research that measures the effects of film industry on local tourism. This study evaluates the effects of film industry on tourism outcomes in one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe and in the World|Dubrovnik, Croatia. Using the synthetic control methodology developed by Abadie & Gardeazabal (2003), we estimate the effect of a highly broadcasted TV series, Game of Thrones, on tourist arrivals. We find a robust and positive effect of filming the Game of Thrones TV series in Dubrovnik on the number of tourist arrivals. Additionally, we show that there are possibly large positive spillover effects on other Croatian counties and the whole country. Using placebo tests, we show that the estimated effects are relatively large when compared to other Croatian counties implying our results are not driven simply by chance. Keywords: Dubrovnik, film tourism, Game of Thrones (GoT), synthetic control. JEL codes: C32, L83, Z3. ∗This research was supported by a grant from the CERGE-EI Foundation under a program of the Global Devel- opment Network.
