TV,
FILM & TECHNLOGY
Describe the expansions of
multi-channels TV in the UK ( when it happened and which channels came first)
It was
founded in 1st November 1992, one of the founders were Darren
Childs. One of the few first channels that arrived to the BBC were arts channel
“UK ARENA”, Lifestyle Channels “UK STYLE” and Documentary channels “UK HORIZION”.
How has this affected the TV
industry – in terms of employment and revenue?
How has the internet affected
the TV industry – in terms of employment and revenue?
How has the internet affected
how people watch films and TV?
The internet
has affected how people watch films in a massive way, from how we get our news and information,
communication and more. It has had a big impact in our time. One of the ways is
the internet has changed our lives with television viewing, people hardly watch
TV often since the internet is accessible on any portable device, the same way
television has changed the we listen to the radio. For example, people will
rather go to BBC.com to get their news than have to wait until the program has
begun to watch the news. However, it also benefits television and film because
if people feel to watch a show/movies, they have created websites where they
can watch films/TV for free anytime, as well as creating apps for portable
devices. Lastly, it has also affected our habits because normally, people will
come home put the TV on, but instead people will come home and surf the
internet, checking emails, social networks, news, weather or catch up on latest
episodes. Overall, the internet has affected us in both a good and bad way.
Describe potential copyrights
issues (downloading/effects on revenue etc)?
They are
potential copyright issues because since the internet has created websites
where you can watch shows/news/movies etc. for free, it also allows people to
illegally download movies/Tv shows. Which means, this makes film companies lose
out on money, because they will not gain customers, since people will prefer to
watch something for free anytime, anyplace.
What are the advantages and
disadvantages of HDTV?
The
advantage of a HDTV are they have a better picture quality due to higher
resolution this means wider screen makes the picture quality more noticeable
than a standard-sized one but overall is a better picture. The interlaces
scanning technique used by HDTV will help in bettering user experience. An excellent
quality of sound resulting from the application of Dolby sound technology gives
HDTV an added advantage, and since the HD signals are not compressed while
transmission, there is no de-gradation in signal quality.
On the
other hand, the disadvantages are switching delays, sometimes black screens can
be caused due to authentication delays. There can also be screen flashing
errors. HDMI cables are more expensive (per meter) than their analogue
counterparts. HDMI devices are compatible with DVI interfaces but require a separate
audio cable as DVI carries only video signals/ It also needs a HDMI-DVI
connector in such scenario’s.
How do you think on demand
service like Net Flix/Love Films have changed how people watch films?
It has
changed how people watch films in many ways because instead of people having to
pay the same amount for each film they watch, they would rather pay the same
price each month to watch unlimited movies whenever they please, this means
that film companies lose money. Demand services enables people to watch
films/Tv shows anywhere, anytime since they created mobile phones app so people
can access them easier. This saves people time to have to plan days to watch
films and spend a lot of money.
Do you think new technologies –
on the whole – have improved or damaged the TV and film industries?
Personally,
I think that new technology has done both damaged and improved TV and film
industries because they are able to access information easier, which means if
someone wanted to watch a TV or film on television or the cinema, technology
allows people to find out whenever they premiere. Also, this benefits the
industries because they will be earning more money. however, it also had done
some damage because TV and film industries because they will not make as much
money as they did because of the demand services that have been created, they
are able to watch anything, this makes people become more lazy because they
could prefer to stay home and catch up on a lot of shows/movies.
