Digital technologies have transformed the way media is produced and distributed. Discuss with reference to the media area you have studied. Throughout the years, technology has developed immensely to create a new reality in the world of film. New adaptions of cameras, from film to digital and advancements with the internet and technology have transformed the way media is produced and distributed. All filmmaking processes such as pre-production, production, post-production, distribution, marketing/promotion and exhibition have been affected by the development of technology. These changes have had an affect on not only the filmmaking process but on the audience and film industry as a whole. For many years, the only way to produce a film was through film. The shots would be filmed then sent off to a printing laboratory to be developed, which would take about a day. The film would be fetched (called a 'daily') and that was that. The shot could only be changed the next day if the pr...

It usually also includes determining a marketing strategy.  In the old days, major film distribution companies put a movie into theaters, and it ran there for up to a year, and then it was gone.  The average theatrical run was trimmed by ancillary rights from up to a year down to 3-4 months. Distribution rights refer to the ability of one company to sell another company's product.  when distributing a film: identify elements that seem to work consistently.

To what extent does media ownership impact the success of a film? Films owned by large conglomerates like the oligopoly; the Big 5, instantly have an advantage in regard to the success of their films. Due to the ownership of their many subsidiaries; the Big 5 are able to successfully advertise their films through many different avenues by the use of cross-media convergence.

In contrast, an older person is shown to be knowledgeable and put together. Gender is also heavily represented in regards to the male gender as we only see encounters between men.
