script - 20th century fox, everyone's heard of them and if you haven't then well where have you been? they have made hundreds of hugely successful films over the years these include X-men, alien, avatar, die hard and so on and many of these films have been successful enough to spawn multiple sequels so they must know how to make a movie right ?

 a lot of their competition comes from other studios such as warner bros or disney as both these also make superhero films and 20th century fox currently hold the rights to one of the biggest superhero franchises 'X-men' this is where a lot of their revenue come from so the other companies who also make big superhero blockbusters threaten to take this audience away from them,obviously 20th century fox are owned by someone, obviously and this is where it gets abit confusing they are owned by a company called 20th century fox.. oh no wait sorry 21st century fox, see told you its confusing. 21st century fox also on a ton of other sometimes a bit random companies, i mean they own National geographic channel they even own a tv channel in portugal the philippines and Benelux i mean if thats not random i don't know what is. thats not everything they own but thats just a little sample as if i had to read the full list this could turn out being a full length motion picture and no one wants that. on a more serious note 20th century fox are a horizontal and vertical conglomerate this means they can make a film distribute it and show it, it also means that they have a wide range of different companies that they've bought for example they own sky italia and then they own fox college sports and something called shine tv all these companies are very random and show that they are both vertically and horizontally integrated. Money, in the end thats what it all comes down to everything today really is based on how much money you have or don't have, 21st century fox are worth a total of $54.793 billion dollars, well i think i know which company i want to work for when i'm older, this also shows that they are massively successful as last year they were only worth about $50 billion dollars so they have increased their worth by $4billion dollars in just one year, i wish they told me how to make that much yearly, now there are some people who are getting a bit worried about the sizes and worth these companies as they are some of the most powerful and influential companies on the planet lets just hope none of them try a world takeover, people are concerned because there are these big companies that own a wider variety of different things and they think they are too powerful but i think that its actually better that all these companies have a big host company as if they didn't there would be loads of different companies most of which wouldn't of survived without the help of these bigger companies so in a way the big conglomerates are actually saving many of the smaller studios and companies that would go out of business without the financial support

BBC script/research

The BBC everyone knows who the BBC are or you will of definitely heard of a show that was made by them doctor who? or strictly come dancing they make dozens of tv shows every year, they are a bit different to other channels such as itv or channel 4. they are a publicly funded tv channel unlike these other channels, this means that they get all their funding for their shows and show on from people paying a tv licence if you own a tv and use it to watch normal tv you have to pay this it costs £145.50 for a colour tv license and £49 for a non-colour one this cost is for the full year. The BBC is a business and is structured in this way- first of all is the royal charter it explicitly recognizes the bbc's editorial independence and sets out its public services then its the bbc trust which sets the strategic direction of the bbc and has a clear duty to represent the interests of license fee payers, so pretty much everyone then, the trust sets purpose remits, issues service licenses and holds the executive board to account to account for its performance in delivering BBC services, the trust works closely with national audience councils to understand the needs and concerns of audiences. then its the executive.

The executive board is responsible for the operational management of the BBC. Directors from across the bbc contribute to the leadership of the organization as part of an executive team. and last but in no way least is the Media regulators, government responsibility for broadcasting and creative industries in the whole of the uk lies with the department for culture media and sport (DCMS), theres also OFCOM is the independent regulator and competition is authority for the UK communications industries with responsibilities across Television,radio, telecommunications and wireless communications services.  Now is the BBC successful? well they haven't been around for 90+ years for nothing they are probably the biggest company in the entire UK, from the year 2013-2014 they made a total of £5.006 billion pounds in that one year alone this is doubly impressive as they are publicly owned , recently the bbc have been under fire from the press regarding Jeremey clarkson and His show 'Top Gear' its all come about because Jeremy clarkson  was already under a lot of scrutiny from the bbc as he already caused a commotion the previous year, so when all this came about the bbc was under fire heavily from the press about what they were going to do about as they were already getting complaints, but the problem is The show Top Gear is definitely one of the Channels biggest money makers and losing jeremy Clarkson would result in the number of viewers the show gets to drop rapidly. 

Some argue that the licence fee is outdated and should be scrapped; others that it should stay but be distributed beyond the BBC. It's right that these issues are debated and that we engage with the counter-views. I think there are four basic tests for the BBC's funding mechanism: universality and social value, great programmes at an affordable price, creative sector investment, and independence.  The BBC licence fee should be replaced by a broadcasting levy on all households with additional “subscription” payments a possibility, an influential committee of MPs has found. Personally BBCs competition are channels that 1-4 because these are the channels that are the original competitors and also are the main channels from the same region. It wouldn't make sense to match BBC and say FOX together because they have different audiences and shows. BBC provide us with Eastenders where as BBC rivals ITV provide us with coronation street. Both channels have their own news program, own chat shows and more. ITV Are commonly known for being favoured however BBC are a much wider spread.The BBC have found new technology called the stage box... Stagebox is a revolutionary new internet-based technology designed to reduce the number of wired connections and therefore the cost of high definition multi-camera productions.
