The target market for the film segment of the industry is any person in the masses. Due to extremely high production costs, the film media depends on a high return on investment (ROI) to become a success. When a film is released and the money that went into production earned back, but the film does not reach its expected ROI after it hits the market: it will be deemed a relative product failure. If a film makes less revenue than the initial investment, it is an absolute product failure and the production company will have to depend on the success of other films to make up for their loss. Unlike films themselves, which are marketed on an individual scale, the film segment is a whole market that is available for anyone to reach into. Films are tailored to the cultural tastes of the audience. Over time there has been a shift in these trends. …show more content…

Unlike film, television is not a make or break investment. Typically, producers pitch show ideas to networks that are targeted toward that particular demographic. For example, producers pitched the show concept such as Hannah Montana to Disney Channel. Their concept included an average teenage girl in an everyday life setting, but lead a double life as a pop star at night.

Forms of entertainment prevalent today, including movies and musicals, are the same forms of entertainment Americans in the early decades of the twentieth century. It wasn’t uncommon for those in the 1920s to use extra income to visit a movie theater, or those in the 1930s to gather to watch a performance in their town to provide a sense of relief from daily hardship. Across these years, there were ample reasons, both good and bad, to absorb multiple forms of entertainment, but it all served a similar purpose: to provide a good time for the audience. Due to both disposable incomes and the need for an “escape” during this period, Hollywood saw a large increase in prevalence, which caused a larger variety of media to be created. In movies released

It’s been that way for as long as movies have been around!
