2. The filming industry is:
An entertainment industries involved in producing and distributing movies.
The film industry or motion picture industry comprises the technological and
commercial institutions of film making, i.e., film production companies, film
studios, cinematography, film production, screenwriting, pre-production, post
production, film festivals, distribution; and actors, film directors and other
film crew personnel. The major business center of film making is in the
United States as well as India, Nigeria and Hong Kong. But now in the modern
day film industry in Europe the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, and
Germany are the countries that lead movie production. Distinct from the
centers are the locations where movies are filmed. Because of labor and
infrastructure costs, many films are produced in countries other than the one
in which the company which pays for the film is located. For example, many
U.S. and Indian movies are filmed in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia,
New Zealand or in Eastern European countries
What I done was added what the filming industry is and the different
companies within this sector.

3. Size, shape and structure of
the film industry in the UK:
There are around 400 'permanent' (i.e. registered) companies in the film
industry. Of the companies existing today, we can say approximately 43% are
production, 13% are distribution and the remaining 44% are exhibition
companies. In 2006, the UK film industry contributed £4.3 billion to the UK
economy, up from £3.1 billion in 2004. 516 films were released across the UK
in 2007, a 58% increase over the decade. UK films, including co-
productions, accounted for 21% of releases and 29% of the market by value.
I added the size, shape and
structure to all of the
presentations.

4. Some companies within this sector:
Walt Disney Company- It is the largest media conglomerate in the world in terms of
revenue. Disney was founded on October 16, 1923, by Walt and Roy Disney as the Disney
Brothers Cartoon Studio. It’s revenue is 42.278 billion. It’s companies divisions and

film. Its resorts and diversified holdings include Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Disneyland

S.C.A., Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, Disney Vacation Club and Disney Cruise Line.
The Lucas film was together so I
separated giving space between it
as it’s a single word.

5. Some companies within this sector:
Universal studios/pictures- is an American motion picture studio, owned
by Comcast through its wholly owned subsidiary , and is one
of the six major movie studios. Its production studios are at 100 Universal
City Plaza Drive in Universal City, California. Distribution and other
corporate offices are in New York City. It was founded at April 30, 1912 as

Dintenfass, Charles Baumann, Adam Kessel, Pat Powers, William Swanson,
David Horsley, and Jules Brulatour. The parent of Universal studios is NBC
universal and subsidiaries Universal Animation Studios, Focus Features,
Illumination Entertainment.
I put space between the NBC
Universal

6. Some companies within this sector:
Warner bros Entertainment inc.- It was founded at 1918. The founders were
Albert Warner, Harry Warner, Sam Warner, Jack Warner. It’s an American producer of
film, television and music entertainment. Its also subsidiary with Time Warner which is
an multinational media corporation. It was the world’s second largest media and
entertainment conglomerate in terms of revenue (behind the Walt Disney Company),
The Time Warner also has divisions in HBO, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. Warner
Bros. and Time Inc.

7. Advantages of these companies
having other media interests
Advantages of having other media interests, platforms and synergy is that
these other media interests can maximise their profit as they have more on
to show for their branding logo which goes out and makes it more known
and more popular internationally around the world so these companies
have more of a chance of becoming successful in the big media industry.
I added this so it will show the advantages and I would
add a disadvantage but there’s not one I could think off
that would be a disadvantage if the filming industry has
media interests as well.
