TV film technology


British television started off in the 1930s ,the BBC as its first visual provider, a corporation which was also the main provider of radio-making them not only the largest but also the oldest media broadcasting today.In the 1950s, they faced a new rival-Independent TV, this was the start of ITV.the BBC which is funded  by license fees and the government, it was funded by advertisement and today, is very  popular commercial channel on Television today In the uk.
In The early 2000s Freeview was then made, which replaced ITV Digital by being the first free digital service-so that  everyone can have access to more visual media.

How has this affected the TV industry-in terms of employment and revenue?

 TV industry may benefit by the revenue from advertising,  pay per views on tv, or  even limited access on channels which may need to be fully paid for by customers , chanel 4 huge costs are summed up for the people who are not the providers of the programmes, as they pay to convert the media so that they can broadcast it according to their service's.Some services may face debts if they do not supply a good variety for their consumers, Employment has increased since there are various television formats ,as well as due to the amount of channels that now exist in telvison today ,individually inviting a diversity of people to become involved in the production, management or technical sector of them.

How has the internet affected how people watch TV and the TV industry-in terms of employment and revenue? 

The internet has allowed television adverts to promote there product with the use of social networking sites, sucha as facebook twitter and many more ,People are able to talk about their favourite shows so that the audience can stay updated. This such as Film4 and Netflix have allowed people to pay to watch their episodes online and on demand, you can even watcg movies on These services , All of this has increased the amount of employment in the TV industry, as every show will encourage their own shows online by giving  the TV industry a section of internet based jobs.

Copywrite

Websites which stream episodes for free are downloaded illegally by other people  that have no permission to do so,Also these websites may provide download links for various episodes for people to watcch creating many copies of the show again without the company knowing,but some copanys find out  and take action by getting the user to take the videos down or face a caught law.this is bad for company's that get there videos or films copied because they lose out on money e.g if a film has just been released in the cinema and people watch it online instead of payin for that new film ,then this becomes a problem as the film company start to lose money slowly.

Advantages and disadvantages 

HD TV comes with many great qualities it's  clarity  helps to stimulate a cinema experience right in people's homes. The sound quality is also much clearer and louder,making you feel almost as if you are in the film you are watching ,which also makes it very exciting as it is in the comfort of your own home.
HD TV also bring things like 3D telivision ,this is for the cinema affect that company's like Panasonic want you to have in your homes,you can watch things Films and different spors in 3D only if offered by that network company.

But the problem with HD TV is that some people may not have a HD TV and may have a normal tv ,so they won't be able to watch things in HD as it will be in normal quality and won't have that same affect as if you were to have HD TV,The HD TV also requires extra equipment such as a HDMI cable in order to receive the signal and work properly ,so this means you will have to buy the cable if it doesn't come with the HD TV ,as some companies make you do.

How has Netflix and LOVEFiLM changed how people watch TV and Films?

 I think that By paying a small monthly fee every month and making it affordable for people is good ,because people can catch up on things they haven't seen in years and re watch it and it wouldn't cost alot at all,it's also good because people have a free 60 day trial test if you like it ,then you can start your membership if you enjoy it for only 5pounds a month,Netflix and LOVEFiLM have allowed people to have access to a variety of TV and film legally, making their services available on different media and software.

Have technologies damaged the TV and Film industry?

I think they haven't really they have just made it better and now people can grant access to pretty much any film and tv show they want,however there are some doubts ,because some people still abuse things such a films in fact new film that have come out,which hurts the fming industry because that means that people are going to watch it online rather than pay to go watch it in the cinema or watch it on DVD,Overall I think that  illegally downloading films on the internet may be damaging towards certain companies, but they are fighting back by creating technologies such as netfilx film4 and love film.
