Exhibition

Exhibition means the showing of a media product, the following is many examples of this.

Cinema:

The Cinema is the important thing to the film company as that is their most reliable source of income.  In the 1940's most people would go to the cinema on a weekly basis maybe even three or four times a week but in the modern day the cinema industry is not as popular. The film company will want the population to go to the cinema to see the film as many times as possible and normally the biggest hit films depend on how successful they are in the cinema.

Blu-Ray:

Blu-Ray are film which have a higher definition picture quality than the standard disc film. The Blu-Ray films are normally released around a month after the film has come out of the cinema as people may spark up and interest about the film again. Blu-Ray sets can be bought but they was more commonly found on consoles. The film Companies are relying on you that you already have the expensive equipment to watch Blu-Ray on.

Download:

Downloading films is where you can watch films online using sites such as Netflix. Netflix would set you back around £5.99 a month but would always be available to you wherever you are. Using sites such as Netflix is not the physical act of purchasing a DVD and also most films will be out dated by a year or two but it is available on more than one device.

'Sky':

Sky broadband can also be purchased as a package as you can have the TV, Internet as all the movies and everything for a set price a month. Sky will pay the film company for the film and if the film company choose to sell their rights to Sky they may not be able to sell it to Netflix or any other download sites.

Record TV:

To be able to record certain Tv programmes you must already own a Tv and a sky box. For a Film company to sell their rights to a TV channel they wouldn't get a lot of money but a lot of people would see there film. They would put the first film on just before they release the second one out in the cinema the thinking behind this is that hopefully loads of people will watch your film on the TV and then go see the second one in the cinema.

Mobile/Tablet:

Mobile and tablet are not a massive streaming system but you will still have to pay for the phone and/or tablet and then the mobile roaming data so it can become quite expensive to the consumer but you can get Netflix and other download sites on your Mobile/Tablet

DVD:

The film company will get there money through the sales of DVD's but they are slowly dying out as they are not as popular as they used to be. DVD's may not be around in the next 5 years as watching films have taken over and more film companies are putting there films online.

Illegally Download:

Film companies will not get any money from illegey download as the consumer does not pay for the product.
