5. Ben Cooper

6. Its work is funded principally by an annual television licence fee which is charged to all British households, companies, and organisations using any type of equipment to receive or record live television broadcasts and iPlayer catch-up.

7.It should offer a range of new music, support emerging artists - especially those from the UK - and provide a platform for live music. News, documentaries and advice campaigns should cover areas of relevance to young adult

8.One major difference between commercial and BBC stations is that the BBC is much stricter when it comes to brand mentions. BBCs are only allowed one brand mention during the course of an interview and they preferably need the spokesperson to be strategic, and to naturally incorporate the brand name into the story .

Group Essay - Jungle Book Production

Essay on Jungle Book production

Disney is the world’s largest conglomerate and media production company. Collectively, Disney’s annual income is $185 billion, and a plethora of companies such as Pixar, Marvel, Lucas Films and the recent 20th century fox deal have all made this possible. Disney’s main competition is companies such as Comcast, who are network and television distributors. They earn a lot of money from constantly releasing long television series and films. To fight back, Bob Iger recently released that Disney are soon presenting a television and cable company to our devices. This will compete against the popular Netflix however is said to cost ‘substantially less’ and will include series linking to their already made movies. This is a new production idea for Disney as they have noticed that online streaming is becoming very popular.

The Walt Disney mass marking company has a huge reputation of fantastic filmmaking and capturing an audience of all ages and interests whatever the topic may be. this is shown through the jungle book where the lovers from the original jungle book would likely to return with their children, grandchildren etc. This would gain The Walt Disney companies a larger audience, allowing their future creations to succeed. The jungle book as released in 2016 with the help of some big stars and changed the trend in recently released Disney films which where all stereotypical Disney princess films but this changed when jungle book was released and proved to be a huge success and was one of the highest grossing films released in 2016.

Favreau used the techniques like keeping the music the same as the original and the vibe the same as the other films. They all are great films that are very different but his goal for this film was

The jungle was made digitally made by VFX. There was also CGI involved which made the animals seem extremely realistic. Soe parts were filmed inffront of a blue screen with fake animal heads to represent where the animals would later be added in.

The uncanny valley effect suggests that humanoid objects which appear almost, but not exactly, like real human beings cause uncanny, or strangely familiar, feelings of eeriness and revulsion in observers.

The animals are realistic allowing the film to have a more mature image. However, the animals have a slight look of a cartoon, allowing it to appeal to children too. Favreau managed to reflect the childlike view by using the CGI movement of each animals face to represent the movements that are similar of a childs.

The MPC gave the jungle book of 2016 VFX. This means that it improved the quality of the graphics I the film to make it more realistic. For example, they applied it to Baloo and Shere Khan to make them look more real.

To conclude, the production process of both Jungle book films places technology and the experience of the audience at the heart of development. This commitment has not changed in the 80 years since the release of Snow White and by examining the production processes of both Jungle Book movies you can tell that the focus on technological change is just as important now as it ever was.
