Task 1 - Know about technologies, owenership and funding in the Tv and film industries - About Universal Studios
Universal Studios (sometimes called Universal City Studios or Universal for short), a subsidiary of NBC Universal, is one of the six major American movie studios. Its main motion picture production/distribution arm is called Universal Pictures.
Founded in 1912 by Carl Laemmle, It is one of the oldest American Movie studios still in continuous production. In 2004, the controlling stake in the company was sold by its owners at the time Vivendi Universal to General Electric, parent of NBC. The resulting media super-conglomerate was renamed NBC Universal, while Universal Studios Inc remained the name of the production subsidiary.
In addition to owning a sizable film library spanning the earliest decades of cinema to more contemporary works, it also owns a lengthy collection of TV shows through its Subsidiary NBC Universal Television Distribution. It also acquired rights to several prominent film-makers works originally released by other studios through its subsidiaries over the years.
The company also owns a theme park license for Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, who appear at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Florida.
Its production studios are located at 100 Universal City Plaza Drive in Universal City, California. Distribution and other corporate offices are based in New York City. Universal Pictures is the second longest-lived Hollywood studio; Viacom-owned Paramount Pictures is the oldest by a month.
How the development of technology has affected Universal Studios.
The studios were built in 1993 by Pacific Recorders and Engineering. While only small changes have been made throughout the nine years of faithful service, Universal felt that the time was right to perform a complete upgrade. Now that the renovation is complete, the overall form of the studios has not changed much from the original design, but the technology behind the equipment certainly has.
The park is open year round, and during the peak season the studios are used almost every day. The associated parks offer visitors plenty of entertainment and the new radio studios offer visiting stations a modern and efficient space from which to broadcast. It truly has combined form and function in unique way.
The radio studio engineers were pleased with the work that PR&E did originally. Over the years, Universal worked with Harris on equipment upgrades as well. When Universal decided to renovate the studios, the radio staff turned to the same people for help. Now that PR&E is a part of Harris, the decision was simplified.
How Universal Studios is funded
Universal Studios is funded by many advertisements that are put on films they release before the film starts. So when a film begins Universal’s logo comes up with the small advert for them with the spinning globe. They are also funded by how many people visit their theme parks and use their attractions. Another way Universal is funded is by the website that they created.
