Task 2 - Understand the srtucture and job roles in the media sector (The Future of Film & TV)

Structures of media sector:
Sectors: Film

There are a number of outputs in the media sector such as film, TV, radio, animation, interactive media, publishing, online games and advertising. These are different forms of media but work and collaborate within the same region of business. For example Film, TV and Radio must work together with advertising to get there ideas out to the public (movie trailers, radio adverts, etc). The Film, TV and Radio sectors are a public service which provides content for the audience and views (visually and non-visually).



The television and Film sectors are a largely growing business which provide a range of private and public services such as NETFLIX, YouTube and Amazon Prime. Some of the services can also be multinational services which gains a high profit from people using streaming services. Mergers and Takeovers are another key essential to the Film and TV sectors as other larger scale companies can take over through buying it. Sometimes this may cost the Trillions depending on the scale of the company and the reputation it beholds, For example: Disney bought 20th century fox for $71.3 Billion at $27 per share. Along with mergers this also goes the same with licenses for certain products or properties a film company might own.

In a multinational film industry there are a vast range of jobs that people looking for employment can work on. Some of these jobs include: Producer, Director, and Script Supervisors... However there are a number of ethical and legal issues surrounding them such as using property that are licensed or franchises to that specific company which could also regulate what they produce their films around. For example Marvel could not use the x-men characters as they're property of Fox but now they own fox they can use the characters in other branded films.


Producer: The producer oversees the production of a film and keeps the profit dates and locations under control for filming scenes in busy areas.
Directors: The director oversees the full production of the film and helps the camera operators and actors improve their performance and envision his idea of how the scene would look on the screen.
Camera Operator: The camera Operator films what the director envisions and collects a range of shots that can be used in the post production.
