How is the Entertainment/Movie Production field looking for the future?
Eventually i will be transferring to CSLA to major in Business management/marketing (possibly macroeconomics) and want
to intern for either Universal Studios/MGM/Paramount etc.
I do read too much news, but i really wanted to hear some opinions on where
the
entertainment industry lies with this economic recession.
I think entertainment will always do well. Dont forget, cable and movie rentals are usually expenses that SAVE money, when compared to other entertainment.
I think things are going the way of MORE. Movies on demand from massive libraries. Thousands of films from pro to amateur in the genera you enjoy.
Recession wont stop the hobbyist filmmakers and editors who can spend $2,000.00 to manufacture 1,000 DVDs.
If it will stop anything, it would simply cause a trimming back on those films that cost $20 Million to make – because movie theaters may not sell as many tickets and rentals can obviously not meet that type of revenue.
Not to be one sided but, as long as Will Smith is alive great.

that industry will never die. Only problem is everyone wants to do it.

Hmm… I think there will be a shortage of top actresses soon, as all the current ones may die of starvation OR turn sideways, and we wont be able to see their "lovely" skeletons on screen.

Movies will never die.
Even in the great depression people went to the movies.
