Creative Media Industries - The Future Of The Film Industry


OKAY SO . . . . 

So far you've explained the different forms of company and employment within the creative industries, as well as evaluating the roles and relationships within a specific area of creative media production. This will cover Learning Outcomes 2 and 3 from the 4 learning outcomes attached to this unit.

WE STILL NEED TO CRACK 

Learning Outcome 1 - where you give me a history of the relationship between creative media production and the creative industries. Still figuring out how to evidence this (don't worry, I will!).

Learning Outcome 4 - where you analyse factors that may affect the future development of the film industry. This is the Outcome I think we can get on with cracking now. Do this as follows.

1. Create a new blogpost/word-doc. Call it 'The Future Of The Film Industry'.

2. Using the links below, and your own research, write a blogpost that tells me about the technological and business changes that the film industry is facing and will have to deal with in the next few years. This will comprise threats to the traditional structures from streaming sites (Netflix) as well as the shift into VR/more immersive technology in terms of the films themselves.



CRUCIALLY THIS BLOGPOST NEEDS TO TELL ME
. . . how things are going to change for PUNTERS (i.e us lot, film-watchers)
. . . how things are going to change for CREATIVES (i.e you lot, film makers)
. . . how things might change in terms of the JOB ROLES in the future film-industry
. . . how things might change in terms of FUNDING/COMPANY TYPES in the future film industry
. . . can you give me a hint as to what EXTERNAL factors (politics, economics, social factors) might affect the future of the film industry?

As much detail as you see fit please. The links are merely a springboard not a dead-end. If using the links obviously you need to cite them properly in your references - also if you read a link and DISAGREE with its predictions SAY SO (with justification obviously), critical engagement with resources is a vital part of degree-level study.

Creative Media Industries - Session 8 - Freelance Contracts

Open up a new section called 'FREELANCE CONTRACTS' For now I simply want you to  define a contract  and tell me  the kind of thing you'd expect to see  in a Media contract for a freelance worker. Here's what I think from experience of reading/signing many media contracts over the years. Feel free to put this in yr own words but conduct your own research as well to add detail. CONTRACT DEFINITION A contract is simply a legally binding document which spells out the terms of employment for an individual, containing both what is expected of the employee in his or her role, and what the employee can expect from their employers. Freelance Media Contract Essentials  Info  - An Employment Contract form should contain basic information about the company and the new employee, names, addresses, contact details (phone/e-mail).
