Filmmaking is an industry primarily driven by money. Of course it is artistic but primarily films get money poured into them because they are financially viable and will make a profit.
Filmmaking is an industry primarily driven by money. Of course it is artistic but primarily films get money poured into them because they are financially viable and will make a profit.
However, with the rise of the Internet and free content
there as been a slight push away from this as content becomes more
accessible. Similarly resources and
contacts also become more accessible and the process of making a film is there
for the audience to see even before the final product is ready. For example, Felicia Day’s series The Guild is available first through
paid subscription and then in bite size episodes free to view on You Tube. It
is low budget but has a huge fan base that extends to the creation of the Geek and
Sundry channel on You Tube that has a host of daily low budget and high
entertainment shows free to view. The Guild was even inspiration for Joss
Whedon’s “show that broke the internet” Dr
Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog.
