  • 'Perfect Fit': Industrial Strategies, Textual Negotiations and Celebrity
    ‘Perfect Fit’: Industrial Strategies, Textual Negotiations and Celebrity Culture in Fashion Television Helen Warner Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Film and Television Studies Submitted July 2010 ©This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author's prior, written consent. Helen Warner P a g e | 2 ABSTRACT According to the head of the American Costume Designers‟ Guild, Deborah Nadoolman Landis, fashion is emphatically „not costume‟. However, if this is the case, how do we approach costume in a television show like Sex and the City (1998-2004), which we know (via press articles and various other extra-textual materials) to be comprised of designer clothes? Once onscreen, are the clothes in Sex and the City to be interpreted as „costume‟, rather than „fashion‟? To be sure, it is important to tease out precise definitions of key terms, but to position fashion as the antithesis of costume is reductive. Landis‟ claim is based on the assumption that the purpose of costume is to tell a story. She thereby neglects to acknowledge that the audience may read certain costumes as fashion - which exists in a framework of discourses that can be located beyond the text. This is particularly relevant with regard to contemporary US television which, according to press reports, has witnessed an emergence of „fashion programming‟ - fictional programming with a narrative focus on fashion.

  • The US Film Industry
    Jono Polansky, Onbeyond LLC August 2020 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ This SFM guide to who owns what in the US screen entertainment industry — movies, broadcast, cable and streaming — has been updated to reflect developments in tobacco content and changes in corporate ownership. We put this map together so public health experts, parents, young people and policy makers can identify who decides if smoking shows up in entertainment accessible to kids. The US film industry MAJOR STUDIOS | The US feature film industry is dominated by five “major studio” distributors. In 2019, their top-grossing films accounted for 81 percent of all youth-rated tobacco impressions delivered to domestic theater audiences. The studios develop, finance, and market film projects domestically and worldwide. Almost all films with production budgets greater than $50 million are major studio films. Studios may not break even on theatrical showings of a film, but a film’s box office, split roughly 50-50 with the theaters, strongly predicts the revenue the studio keeps to itself when the film is later released on DVD and licensed to on-demand, cable, and broadcast services. Most studio revenue comes from those “long tail” after-markets. In addition, 70 percent of US studios’ theatrical revenue now comes from outside the United States, which helps explain why easy-to-sell “franchise” films are prized by major studios. The major studios are represented by a trade group, the Motion Picture Association (MPA), dominate its board of directors. The MPA owns and administers the movie ratings (G/PG/PG-13/R,NC-17), with a nod to the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO), which plays a role in enforcing age restrictions.
