Tuesday + Wed - Streaming services + ancillary rights
Hi guys,
Task 1
Here's a good article with some up-to-date stats.
How has the proliferation of the internet (how many people are now connected world-wide? Look this up), added to changing how films are distributed.
Task 2
Make some notes on what this article claims in saying that the theatres aren't completely dead.
Comment after reading this article, about some of the ways streaming services are actually HELPING Indi filmmakers and arthouse cinema.
Task 4
Ancillary Rights
I want you to write some notes on ancillary rights. If a big conglomerate owns ancillary rights to films that have a good amount of spin-off, how does that continue to work in their favour?
