Beyond the bottom line : the producer in film and television studies
\"This is the first collection of original critical essays devoted to exploring the misunderstood, neglected and frequently caricatured role played by the film producer. The editors' introduction provides a conceptual and methodological overview, arguing that the producer's complex and multifaceted role is crucial to a film's success or failure. The collection is divided into three sections where detailed individual essays explore a broad range of contrasting producers working in different historical, geographical, generic and industrial contexts. Rather than suggest there is a single type of producer, the collection analyses the rich variety of roles producers play, providing fascinating and informative insights into how the film industry actually works. This groundbreaking collection challenges several of the conventional orthodoxies of film studies, providing a new approach that will become required reading for scholars and students\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Streaming Video
An international team of experts explores how streaming
services are disrupting traditional storytelling. The rise
of streaming has dramatically transformed how audiences consume
media. Over the last decade, subscription video-on-demand (SVOD)
services, including Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, have begun
commissioning and financing their own original movies and TV shows,
changing the way and the rate at which content is produced across
the globe, from Mexico City to Mumbai. Streaming Video
maps this international production boom and what it means for
producers, audiences, and storytellers. Through eighteen richly
textured case studies, ranging from original Korean dramas on
Netflix to BluTV's experimental Turkish series, the book
investigates how streaming services both disrupt and maintain
storytelling traditions in specific national contexts. To what
extent, and how, are streamers expanding norms of television and
film storytelling in different parts of the world? Are streamers
enabling the creation of content that would not otherwise exist?
What are the implications for different viewers, in different
countries, with different tastes? Together, the chapters critically
assess the impacts of streaming on twenty-first century audiovisual
storytelling and rethink established understandings of
transnational screen flows.
