Unit 8 Developing technolgiers

Over the decades technology as been growing and just seem to keep on improving. This relating to the media industry how technology has specific grown for it.  The media of course stared of small as most things do but eventually grew. The first ever camera was called the Kodak, which was in 1889.

At first people could only ever watch movies in cinemas it was a  new brand thing which didn't cost much money. At the time movies where only black and white also had no idea so subtitles needed to be into the movies in order to understand certain stories only background music.   In 1990 this all changed as audio was finally was available for movies and there were no need for subtitles anymore, which took place in Paris where the media industry really began. The first actual real movie to have people talking in them would be in 1927 in real time. In the early 1930s most counties around the world had movies with audio in them.  The first ever movie to be in 3D in cinema was in 1922 that was called The power of love although he wasn't as high quality as of now. 

The first cinema to have been created was in 1905. The media industry have grown since then in 1940s the only channel that was available for the UK was the BBC which featured a multitude of things to watch. This was also around the time where most working class and up class citizens usually had a TV in their very own home. As the media industry grew more people begin to take interest into the big screen. Suddenly there were more channels that would appeal to a verity of people from gender, age and race. The draw back to having a TV in your very own home people were less inclined to go to a cinema to watch a movie which meant big movie companies such Hollywood were losing out on money. 

As the quality of technology increased cinemas upped their skills and made Imax 3D which felt even more realistic the out lines of the characters looked like they are coming of screen and everything is in front of you. Cinemas in Imax also get the chair to slightly move about when watching a movie to feel as if you are being affected by what you are watching as a whole new experience. 

In 1958 a lot of things were live on TV. The problem with live TV is that it didn't functional as well as does well as a lot of people didn't have the latest TV which why a lot channels didn't use them often as it would make them lose out on audience and potentially money. 

In 2008 mostly every single movie in cinemas would be 3D this is so tickets would cost more money for the audience to buy and so the film industry would also gain more profit it was a smart and strategic business plan. The problem was that the network was also growing which resulted in a lot of people just watching movies on their computers or their own TV with film subscription companies such as Netflix and amazon prime, which get updated regally, and even more their very own original TV shows. People can pre record something so that they can watch it later if they are not able to watch something currently making their very own schedule and so audiences don’t miss anything and both channels and audiences benefit from this.  

The amount of money that goes into buying equipment in order to get a high good quality movie now a days is ridiculously expensive. Which is why it’s hard for small film organizations, to make much money, as they have to have a lot of money in order to get started on the movie. Even if you make a cheap movie you are likely not able to get it advertised on TV because of how expensive advertising is on TV, which is why a lot of cheap made films aren’t heard of because they go straight to DVD, and not on cinemas. This is killing the film industry as a lot of people may have great concept for a movie but doesn’t have the money a lot of originality and good excitations for movies are rare now a days, as it seems everything has been done before.
