Funding in the Television and Film Industry

Having funding is what lets us have all these companies and without funding, we wouldn't have all our favourite TV shows and films at the click of a button. there are various ways in which a company can gather funds to stay in the industry, for example:

Subscription -  This is where a consumer will pay a subscription fee to be able to gain access to certain forms of media, examples can be Netflix or Xbox Live

Pay Per View - This method can be used for certain sports events such as the Super Bowl for people to pay a certain amount of money allowing them to view the chosen production.

Advertisement - This is where a company can pay another company to promote their product by showing an advert for example in a commercial break coca cola may pay huge amounts of money just so they can have their product advertised.



Product Placement - Similar to advertisement although on a more subconscious level, for example a company may pay a film company to incorporate their product in the film. an example could be Aston Martin in the James Bond Films.
