Matthewson November 19, 2014Color: SILVER|Package Type: Standard PackagingI bought these at an At&T store today about 3 hours ago.A buddy of mine uses the non retractable verson of this headset all the time, it interested me. I never dish money out like this on something I don't really need, but lately I've been finding myself ordering these kinds of products that I think I don't need and then finding them very useful in daily life, like the ANKER bluetooth speaker that I also wrote a review about.So far, I really like this piece. I have them on now and I'm listening to Pandora and it sounds better than anything else I've listened to Pandora on, the sound is very crisp, I like them better than the iPhone 5 ear buds. The sound quality seems better and the bass on those seemed to tickle my ears at times which was annoying, not to mention having to remember what the left and right buds look like and their strange alien shape was starting to take a toll on me.Anyway, I haven't even opened the accessory box yet to see whats in there. I'm working with the factory charge right now, I'll worry about that later.Updates when I get more familiar with this thing.UPDATE 1:It's day two and I'm still on the factory charge. When I power it up it says the power is still on medium, which is somewhat surprising.Having this headset has proven pretty useful so far. Walking to the car, or during commutes I can just put a plug in, press a button and my music is playing. At work, when I want to unwind, I can use this and put the plugs away somewhat quickly if a client comes in.Only issue so far, the microphone does tend to pick up outside noise a good bit, so when I use siri through the headset, it picks that sound up at times and messes with my input. My father also complained about my car seat belt notifier beeping during our conversation while I was in my car, it wasn't really that loud either, he just wondered what the sound was.Day 2 - very happy with this as a purchase.More updates to come.Day ? - couldn't be happier with this product, right now I'm rating it 5 starts. This headset is pretty damn useful. I can multi-task like crazy and my favorite part is being able to put an ear bud in at any time and listen to music in the most random situations that you normally don't get to listen to music during. The residual sound when a plug isn't in your ear almost doesn't exist.No one can hear your conversations, the retractable ear bud feature is too cool, works stunningly. Press the phone button once and you can ask siri anything. Makes finding out what the weather is while doing another task enjoyable because of how easy it is.I'll continue to update.Day ? - So I've had this thing long enough, I feel I can give a pretty good review on it.It's been a while since I've been this happy with a piece of technology. I've researched other peoples reviews on this and I would like to address some of the problems they have.One guy mentioned that this headset was too cumbersome and weighed too much. I think that's kind of absurd. I forget I have this around my neck on a regular basis. I once got in the hot tub with this thing still on and it got half way submerged before I realized I still had it on and jumped out and dried it off. After getting wet, it still worked fine.Someone else mentioned that this headset felt breakable, the outer plastic seemed too hard to be bendable. The middle part where the two sides coincide is attached by a thick rubber connection, that bends more than you would ever need it to bend. I don't see how this could cause a break. Someone would really need to try to break this thing.The sound is great, I'm not sure if I mentioned this already, but during symphony works you can hear people turning the pages of their music and taking the breaths between their long parts, its pretty cool. The sound is so good, it doesn't really give you the impression you are listening to head phones, sometimes it gives me the sensation that the sound is inside my head rather than coming from outside of it, if that makes any sense.--- Moments I've found this headset very useful --- 1.) During long, quiet, and sometimes awkward lines waiting for stuff, I just pop in a ear bud or two and listen to an audio book, or music. Don't listen to the comedy radio station in public I've learned. Usually people wont notice you listening to anything and all they see is some crazy man laughing to himself. 2.) During car rides. I don't have a AUX input to listen to my phone in my car, so I put on an audio book and crush out some books in my free time. Even if it's just a couple minutes at a time, all you have to do is already have it paused in the background and press the play button whenever you want. 3.) Listening in bed. This one is very nice, you don't have to mess with annoying cables all in your bed or touching your bare skin (which always bothered the hell out of me).CONS--None of these were actually bad enough for me to give it less of a rating, but I will mention them because they could deter you from wanting this unit.--The input where you plug the charger in is nearly impossible to access without a tool. I have to use a tool to open it up, and the first several times I did this, the tool I used was too sharp and it put scratches all around the cover to this input. It doesn't bother me this much because I don't plan on reselling these, nor do I see the scratches often.--The ear buds were a tad bit too large for me. There are 3 different sizes to choose from, the ear hole in my ears tends to be smaller than normal so this most likely won't be an issue to any of you. This doesn't bother me too much, the buds slip out from time to time, but they don't hurt and they aren't uncomfortable.--The retractable ear buds have gotten stuck maybe 5 times so far. Nothing serious, it usually just takes some minor adjustment and they shoot back up there with ease, but I am just waiting for them to break, features like this tend to wear out over time. If any permanent damage does happen to keep it from retracting, I'll update. I'm still surprised at how well this feature works though.LG has yet to steer me wrong with a product yet,UPDATE September 2015:So far I've had these for nearly a year I believe. I use them on a regular basis and I very much enjoy them still.Some things I'd like to update on.-The retractable ear buds still work great. They snap back just as good as they did the day I bought this.-The battery life is still going strong, I might have ran out of power once, and I probably went several days without a charge. The battery lasts forever.-I've found this is a the safest way to drive and text at the same time, really the only way you should do it. You hold down the call button, ask Siri to read your messages to you, and you can reply with your voice. If Siri gets your words mixed up, which happens sometime, you can re-speak the message and correct the problem without having to take your eyes off the road or hands off the steering wheel. It works great.-Having this around your neck while you are unwinding at is pretty nice. You can answer your phone without having to get up and go find it. The range on this is surprisingly far. Ever been erally tired and face down in a pillow and then have someone call you? Resting the phone on the side of your face? Not so annoying with these on.-You can put one or both ear buds in while you also have your Xbox/Playstation/PC headset on. The ones that cover your ears. When you do this, you can listen to your own music while playing your games. The ear buds don't cancel out the headset's sound, it works really well. The coolest part is being able to answer phone calls while playing on your console and being able to talk to the other person without the sound feeding in to your call.FINAL UPDATE:This unit still works great. I only made this update because of something funny that happened yesterday. I couldn't find my phone. It was one of those times where you've looked everywhere twice. I then came up with this idea. I grabbed the headset, asked Siri to set a timer for 5 seconds, and found it when it went off.I'll probably buy another one if this ever breaks.Read more1515 comments|
Was this review helpful to you?YesNoReport abuse4.0 out of 5 starsNot BadBySheree Wrighton March 26, 2016Color: Gold|Package Type: Standard PackagingI like the LG 900 headphones, but they are a bit pricey. I have tried the LG 730 and the LG 750, and these are far superior in all respects including sound quality on both calls and for music, they also cancel out noise really well. They are pretty comfortable to wear even in the gym when working out. My biggest complaint it the range, if you get too far from your phone, the sounds quality is not as good and starts to cut out. And next biggest complaint is the price, these are expensive, and because I work out a lot with then, I tend to break headphones fairly often. I have also tried the HDE90 headphones HDE (High Definition Electronics) HDE90 Pro Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headset Speakers and they seem to be exactly the same as the LGs in every way, except that they are offered at a much better price. Both are equally good, but the HDE brand are much cheaper and will give you your money back if you are not happy with them for any reason.Read more0Comment|
Was this review helpful to you?YesNoReport abuse1.0 out of 5 starsFake Product sent to me!Bywwjd1004on September 27, 2015Color: SILVER|Package Type: Standard Packaging|Verified PurchaseThe inital set of headphone stopped working a couple of days. The call quality was bad and had an unacceptable amount of static. So, I figured that the headphones needed charging. After charging them for 5 hours, they wouldn't power on. I returned them to amazon and got a replacement set. The replacement set came in a flimsy black package with smudges. The headphones seemed lighter than the originals, the impressions weren't as detailed and the top of the headphone looked to have smudges and wasn't as clean and smooth as the genuine product.. Also, the serial number was missing from the headphones as well. It seems like I was sent a fake product. I went to the brick and mortar store and bought a genuine pair to make a comparison. Also, the wording doesn't match up between the fakes ones and the real ones. The real product box is white and has the words "Box includes", the fake on has "packing included", the real one has a standby time listed in days, while the fake has it listed in hours. Also, the listed Bluetooth versions are different; the real one includes commas between the support Bluetooth types, while the fake one has a mixture of periods and commas. Lastly, the stamped impressions on the fake on aren't as deep and detailed as the genuine product. I've attached the pictures. This was very disappointing. Another reviewer had this same issue as well.Read more
Was this review helpful to you?YesNoReport abuse1.0 out of 5 starsBuyer beware of quality control issues!ByAviyaytoron November 5, 2015Color: SILVER|Package Type: Standard Packaging|Verified PurchaseI have had several LG headsets 700 (I think) the 730 and now this one the Infinim. It fits well around the neck, sounds good, and has noise attenuation because there isn't an produce drilled in the earbud to allow outside sounds to come in. Some don't like, but this is a good fears tire if you're in noisy environments.Now the next part- I had a problem with the switch. Sometimes it would work- sometimes it wouldn't. Then the headset would only charge intermittently. I checked the jack and recepticle for dirt or lint (it was only less than a month old when this started happening) and it was fine. Called Amazon and it was 32 days out. They said they wouldn't accept the return because it was past 30 days. Called LG and sent it to them. After almost a month they finally sent is back to me. The right earbud speaker is crackling on occasion, and now it won't even turn on. Just a warning to you all while it is a good headset, if you have ANY problems, return it to Amazon ASAP BEFORE THE 30 day trial. Otherwise you will have to deal with the horrible customer service I have experienced with LG. the 2nd LG repair order has been cut for this lemon, and I will be out another headset for another month. Not happy.Read more

9780912168210: The Lincoln Library of Greek & Roman Mythology - AbeBooks: 0912168218
ISBN 13: 9780912168210
ISBN 10: 0912168218 ISBN 13: 9780912168210
Publisher: Lincoln Library Pr, 2006
In five volumes the Greek & Roman mythology presents 500 separate entries on the Greek and Roman gods, goddesses, heroes, places and other aspects of the Greek and Roman mythology.
Five briskly written volumes cover everything that the classical mythology homework assignment is likely to require and more. The Greek and Roman variations of gods and heroes are covered well. Nearly 500 alphabetically arranged articles range from a short paragraph to several pages in length. A major article, such as the one on Demeter, has a pronunciation guide for the name; a quick summary of the character (gender, attributes, etc.); the subject's story; ways the character appears in art and literature (often with excerpts); how the name has become part of English usage; references to source material; and a "True or False?" quiz. A separate entry covers Ceres, Demeter's Roman equivalent. There are also entries for places ( Delphi, Hades) and other topics ( Golden apple, Golden fleece) related to the myths. Six entries, among them Ariadne and Pandora, are accompanied by short plays adapted for classroom use. The volumes are liberally illustrated with reproductions of paintings; photographs of sculptures, architecture, and plants; line drawings; and maps.
The frank sexuality of the deities and heroes is glossed over to some extent but not completely evaded. Although readers are referred to the names of many classical works, there is no bibliography, so it is difficult to discover which sources the editorial team used. Annotations of sources with notes on their suitability to different reading levels would have been useful. In each volume, entries are preceded by a page containing a list of gods and heroes with their Greek and Roman names, the Greek alphabet, and a small map showing the extent of the ancient Greek and Roman world. Volume 5 includes a "Table of Associations" linking gods and heroes to particular character traits, a "Table of Word Origins," and a subject index.
Around half of the more than 300 entries in Marshall Cavendish's 11-volume Gods, Goddesses, and Mythology (2004) cover Greek and Roman deities. Facts On File's one-volume Greek and Roman Mythology A to Z (2003) has 500 entries but does not provide as much detail as the Lincoln Library set, which is recommended for public, elementary-, and middle-school libraries. It should be very helpful for children grades 4-12 doing classical mythology assignments. Kathleen Stipek

There is one prayer, that would be hers, we raise God save the King, give to him length of days; Victoria, the Well-Beloved, may she The bright exempler of the long reign be; Thus shall her influence live, whose glorious life Shines perfect as a monarch, mother, widow, wife! Harmgate Advertiser. Oub good and well-beloved Queen is dead! And we in Wales the loss as deeply feel As any subjects in old England bred, For well we know throughout her reign the weal Of all she sought, and helped us to secure All that pure hearts could wish would long endure. B. Y. WILSON JONES. 161 Her reign, unparalleled in length, was highly blest, And over all the earth its glory spread; And now tliat Queen Victoria's gone to rest, What sweet and noble things of her are said: Just like a mother unto each she seemed, With love more beautiful than any dreamed. Our heart's desire was to see her live A few years more, because we wished to see Our land at perfect peace when death should give His summons to depart, but God's will be Our will, for He knows best what's good for all, Whether it be new life, or funeral pall. Deep among millions is the sorrow felt, And long acutely hearts will throb with pain; Death, spite of prayers, a cruel blow has dealt, But yet we'll pray, and 'twill not be in vain: God grant her son may prove a good, wise King, That out of grief we may arise and sing. E. Y. Wilson Jones. How can we best commemorate Our late most gracious Queen? How best express our gratitude For such a glorious reign?

Lassiter to Risk Billiard Crown As Play Starts Here Tomorrow
March 1, 1964, Page 3 The New York Times Archives
Luther Lassiter of Elizabeth City, N. C., will defend his world pocket billiard championship in a week‐long tournament starting at noon tomorrow in the Windsor Room of the Hotel Commodore. Thirteen of the nation's leading players, including Irving Crane of Rochester, N. Y., a three‐time holder of the title, will oppose him.
All matches are set for 150 points. The games will be played on two Brunswick Gold Crown tables set parallel, assuring simultaneous action throughout the week. The final. games will be played next Sunday.
In addition to Crane, the field includes Frank McGown of Brooklyn, the New York State champion; Onofrio Lauri of Seaford, L. I., the dean of pocket billiard players; Joe Balsis of Wilkes‐Barre, Pa., a former world junior champion; Art Cranfield of Syracuse, a former amateur champion; Joe Canton of Troy, N. Y., a former American national champion, and Danny Gartner of Clifton, N. J., and Jack Colavita of Newark, finalists in a recent Jersey State tournament.
Also Lou Butera of West Pittston, Pa., one of the newer stars in the Eastern area; Don Tozer of Decatur, Ill., an all‐round expert; Michael Eufemia of Long Island City, holder of the world record high run of 371; Verne Peterson of Garden Grove. Calif., outstanding West Coast player, and Al Gassner of Long Island City, New York Summer League champion.
Lassiter won the title in a 12‐player tournament at the Commodore last year. He thus became the firStofficial champion since Willie Mosconi of Philadelphia, who retired from tournament play after winning the last previous tournament in 1955.
Lassiter won 10 games and lost only one, to Jimmy Moore of Albuquerque, N. M., in the 1963 tournament. He had a grand average for the 11 games of 19.22 balls per inning. Lassiter's tournament high run was 113, against Crane.
The tournament stars will put on a swank preview at the Commodore Hotel tonight during a party [black tie, please] directed by Perle Mesta for the benefit of the Police Athletic League. After cocktails at 6 and a buffet supper at 7, Lassiter and fellow members of the billiard troupe will play a series of exhibitions beginning at 8:30.

Self catering apartment Jul 10, 2009, 8:21 AM
Been looking on the internet, but can't find much in the way of self catering apartments.
Does anyone know any 2 bedroom apartments for rent near the centre of Gothenburg?
Thinking about going next year with 2 children under 3.

Somewhat off but it might be a good location if you have kids that need to be able to explore a bit. http://www.citylagenhetshotell.com/1.html
also a good location, close to Liseberg and universeum as well as Korsvägen with lots of buses and trams if you want to explore the rest of the city. Also not too far from ICA Focus which is like a really good Sainsburys
http://www.designapartments.se/
Also a good location, walking distance to the main shopping district as well as lot of attractions
http://www.accome.com
ok location, close to public transport (19 min to the city centre). You don't want to bring the car anyway.

General IntroductionPreparing for the examThe specification says…For the exam you should be prepared tounderstand and write about the processes of filmproduction, distribution, marketing andexchangeas they relate to contemporary mediainstitutions.The nature of audience consumptionandtherelationships between audiences andinstitutions.In addition, you need to know about: the issues raised by media ownership in contemporary media practice; the importance of cross media convergence and synergy in production, distribution and marketing; the new technologies that have been introduced in recent years at the levels of production, distribution, marketing and exchange; the significance of proliferation in hardware and content for institutions and audiences; the importance of technological convergence for institutions and audiences; the issues raised in the targeting of national and British audiences by international or global institutions; the ways in which your own experiences of media consumption illustrate wider patterns and trends of audience behaviour. 4 View slide
Preparing for Section B of the exam…You need to undertake case studies of the film industry considering their production,distribution and consumption?You are looking at institutional processes and audience consumption. There should be somefocus on YOUR experience of being a consumer of film yourself.Case Studies - what do they need to include? These need to involve the study of a specific studio or production company within the contemporary film industry that targets a British audience. These can be based in the US (Hollywood), in Britain (Film4, BBC Films), or part of World Cinema (Bollywood). They need to include the study of a studios patterns of production, distribution, exhibition and consumption by audiences.This should also be accompanied by study of how contemporary films are distributed (digitalcinemas, DVD, Blu-ray, downloads, etc.) and how this has changed the production,marketing and consumption of films.What do you need to know for Section B of the exam?You need to have a good up-to-date knowledge of the key issues involved inproduction, marketing, distribution and consumption of films. You need to be able to refer toactual examples to support your points. You also need practice at the format of theexamination in order to hone your skills.How long should you spend on the section B question?You should spend 45 minutes on your section B question.What sort of questions will be asked in Section B?You will be expected to answer the question using examples from your case studiesto support points made in the answer. The questions might ask students to consider some orall of the following: How is the film industry making use of advantages in digital technology? How do film audiences consume/receive a particular text? How and why are changes in the consumption and production of films happening? To what extent are film audiences the agents, beneficiaries or victims of changes in production, distribution or exhibition? What are the methods of distribution/exhibition for the film industry? 5 The exam questions will resemble these in format:What impact has digital technology had on institutions in the media industry that you havestudied?How does the institution you have studied attempt to target the audience for its product?Discuss the claim that ‘all media institutions will become fully digital or decline’ withreference to the media industry you have studied.How has your institution responded to the pace of change within the media industry youhave studied?Describe the various strategies used by your institution to secure its survival in thecontemporary marketplace.How has the institution you have studied attempted to target its audience across differentmedia, platforms and markets?Specimen exam question Discuss the issues raised by institutions’ need to target specific audiences within a media industry which you have studied.Possible essay plan:By institutions the question is asking for you to write about a particular studio/production ordistribution company specifically. By specific audience the question is asking you to writeabout a cross section of the potential film going audience – you might like to think of thetypical target audience for most mainstream films. And naturally, you are focussing on thefilm industry.You will be marked on your ability to illustrate changing patterns of production, distribution,exchange and consumption through relevant case study examples and your own experiences.You should cover the following in your response to the question: How different production practices (ways of making films) allow films to be constructed for specific audiences. Various distribution and marketing strategies that raise audience awareness of specific films or genres of films. The use of new technology to enable(more accurate?) targeting of specific audiences. Different audience strategies (ways of connecting with an audience) thathelp or challengefilm industry practices.You will be given credit for your knowledge and understanding, illustrated through casestudy material, in any of these areas; there is no requirement that they should all be coveredequally. Examiners will be prepared to allow points, examples and arguments that have notbeen considered if they are relevant and justified.Mark Scheme 6 To get a top mark (level 4 out of 50)you need to do the following:1. Explanation/analysis/argument (16-20 marks)Shows excellent understanding of the taskExcellent knowledge and understanding of institutional/audience practices – factualknowledge is relevant and accurateA clear and developed argument, substantiated by detailed reference to case study materialClearly relevant to set question2.

From Rupert Murdochs deal to buy MySpace to the selling of YouTube for more than a billion dollars after 18 months of trading, we are slap back in the middle of the second dot.com boom. Dont even mentionGoogle, whose founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, must be crossing off the days till its time to become full time philanthropists and cancel third world debt. (Gibson 2007)Media Studies is all about the contemporary, so while it is useful to have a sense of thehistory of the film industry in Britain (so we know how successful the industry is at presentrelative to other time periods) we are really much more concerned with how films arecurrently being produced and distributed and how this is changing.The key agent of change is convergence. This is because it makes little sense these days totalk about the film industry without referring to other media industries like internetdistribution. The word institutionrefers to the companies and organisations that providemedia content – films - whether for profit or as a public service. This involves anunderstanding of media as business, the relationship between film producers, distributors andexhibitors and the public or audience. You need to be concerned with how film companies producing and distributing material operate within a context of ownership, convergence, technologiesand globalisation. And you need to be very interested in how things are changing. You cant be expected to feel the pace of change as you will have grown up with online media as the norm, but for this part of your studies you need to acquire a sense of how rapidly institutions and audiences are being transformed by digital technology: The question that needs to be answered is: do new media forms produce both distinctively different content and audiences when compared with their predecessors? The answer to this question is a qualified yes. (Marshall 2004) 8 Convergence Convergence describes two phenomena: First, technologies coming together, for example, a mobile phone you can use as a still and moving image camera, download and watch moving images on, use as an MP3 player and recorder and access the internet with. Second, media industries are diversifying so they produce and distribute across several media—for example, a newspaper with an online version and audio podcasts or the coming together of videogames with films e.g. Quantum of Solace (2008). We no longer live in a media world where television, videogames, films, newspapers, radio, magazines and music exist separately. For this reason it is essential that you study the impact of convergence on the film industry - the focus here is on the contemporary nature of film production, distribution and exhibition. Extracts from Why Does Convergence Matter? UK Film Council January 2008If, by convergence, we mean the trend for different technologies for the delivery of contentto start to resemble one another, what will this mean for us?For example, television sets will increasingly resemble computers while computers willincreasingly resemble televisions; both will be used to download moving films from theinternet, and eventually the distinction between the separate technologies are likely to beerased. Convergence has already led to the development of video-on-demand, which can bedelivered by a variety of different devices.But technological convergence itself is only a means to an end; what is also being changed isboth the economics and culture of the moving image, including film. The debate about theimpact of convergence has important consequences not just for the film industry but for theway in which we all reflect ourselves to ourselves and to others.Why is convergence important for consumers, and the economy as awhole?For consumers, convergence helps to ensure greater price transparency as regards watchingfilms in different media and makes accessing those films more convenient. Convergence alsopresents us with the potential to choose from and access a far wider and more diverse rangeof films in different media.For the UK economy convergence represents an opportunity to build on its competitivestrengths internationally in respect of creative talent and content creation and thereby toenhance growth and productivity and to develop skills. For the film industry it presents 9 opportunities to reach wider audiences. But it also presents large challenges in respect ofrights, windows and financing models, most particularly for independently-produced Britishfilms.How does the UK compare internationally? The UK is very well placed to seize the opportunities presented by convergence provided it addresses the challenges identified listed below. A rapid transition to the next generation of broadband access networks is critical if we are to remain competitive with other economies such as those of Hong Kong, South Korea and Singapore which have invested very significant resources in advanced broadband networks. In Hong Kong speeds of 1GB are already available, while the highest speed on general offer in the UK at the moment is 50Mbs. If we want to take advantage of ‘convergence’ what are the key challenges and opportunities it presents for the future?The UK Film Council believes that, going forward, there will be substantial challenges forpublic policy around convergence with respect to film. There have already been tensionsaround some core issues relating to new media such as Internet Piracy.There has already been a great deal of debate trying to describe the likely impact ofconvergence upon the creative industries. On one side some existing and powerfulinstitutions have adopted, at least until recently, a largely defensive approach to theemergence of digital media, apparently in the belief that the status quo would prevail largelyuntouched and that existing business models would remain fit for purpose.On the other, some commentators have claimed that the impact of digital media will sweepaway all our present assumptions about the way in which the creative industries, and film inparticular, operate and that in a brave new world of digital abundance the industry willeventually cease to exist as we know it.These positions are mirrored, for example, in elements of the debate around copyright theftand online copyright infringement. Some powerful interests have behaved at times as if theonly way to fight piracy is through protection and more extreme forms of enforcement. Someothers have behaved as if access to any form of intellectual property at any time for free is ahuman right.The ability to create and distribute content in a much larger variety of ways will acceleratethe segmentation of the film sector such that there will be many more different business andcultural models, each based on different sets of aims and objectives. Just as the audience’sability to choose between different ways of consuming product is greatly enhanced by digitaltechnology (e.g. the emergence of iPlayer), so too is the ability of institutions to createdifferent ways tomake films and to disseminate them to audiences. 10 The UK Film Council is clear that the history of technological innovation in the filmindustry, from the arrival of sound in the 1930s to the advent of widescreen in the 1950s,offers real benefits to audiences but can also turn againstpublic policy and the individual.For example, the market power of the major operator of pay-television in the UK – BSkyB –created a situation in which a series arrangements with the Hollywood studios worked to thedisadvantage of smaller independent suppliers and was thereby detrimental to audiencechoice. Some independent suppliers reported that they were either unable to sell filmsdirectly to BSkyB, despite those films having achieved commercial success, or that theyreceived prices which were not equitable with those achieved by the studios on a like-for-likebasis.The UK Film Council has consistently argued that film theft and online copyrightinfringement represent a major threat to all elements of the UK film industry and to filmculture. Some 5% of UK adults have downloaded a film and/or a TV show and the quantityof titles illegally downloaded has risen to an average of between 7-15 per year.The veryrapid take-up of broadband in the UK could increase copyright infringement by means offile-sharing.Q1. Why is convergence both a blessing and a curse for the UKfilm industry? 11 AudienceAudience is a huge area of Media Studies with many variants and competing approaches, soit is important to be precise about our focus which is on the relationship between audienceand institution.For this part of your course you are more concerned with audience theory, as you will beexploring the ways that audiences are created/constructed for different films.You will need to analyse the more complex nature of new media audiences and how digitalmedia distribution and consumption has allowed consumers to become producers or at leastinteractors, and thus far more active users of media. This is more difficult than simply sayingthe film industry targets teenagers’.The new media erodes the boundary between producer and audience: Conventional research methods are replaced—or at least supplemented—by new methodswhich recognise and make use of peoples own creativity, and brush aside the outmoded notions of receiver audiences and elite producers. (Gauntlett 2007a)Audience FragmentationThis phrase is used to describe the ways in which people engage with media, and it showshow the idea of audience is in the digital era is changing. The ways in which convergence,user-created content and social networking have transformed the audience are often thoughtabout in terms of audiencefragmentation. This means that the internet - rollingentertainment news and internet gossip sites, films downloaded in various ways - breaks upthe potential audience group for any particular film. There’s less point in the UK distributorsof Skyfall paying for an expensive TV ad during Coronation Street if they know that fewermembers of their target audience will be watching.On the other hand, Csigo (2007) sees this trend as a ‘duality’ working in two ways -convergence leads to the traditional mass audience fragmenting into smaller niche audiencesbut also ‘falling together’ in other ways by becoming more intimate members of smallergroup. In other words there are less big-budget, blockbusters now, and more films aimed atpromoting a ‘cult’ audience.In this new climate the film industry is desperately trying to provide 360-degree brandingfor their films - to surround us with them across all the various converged media forms thatwe come into contact with.Csigo suggests that media institutions like the film industry are nolonger interested in keeping the audience together, but in ‘triggering engagement’.Converging media can lead to both control by the film industry - as the various filmcompanies get bigger and bigger and control more and more of the industrybut alsoresistance by the consumers, who now get to produce their own films and upload them ontoYouTube.For the film industry this imposes key changes: the media world changes from a valuechainwhere films are made and distributed to audiences - to a social network- a complexsystem where producers and audiences are mixed up – think about how the music industry 12 colonised MySpace or how big companies have populated the Internet.Another way of describing this is the shift from push media (where producers push films atus and we receive and consume them passively) to pull media (whereby we decide whatwe want to do with the media and access it in ways that suit us).This new media world in comparison to the old media world is: ... richer, more diverse and immeasurably more complex because of the number of producers, the quantity of the interactions between them and their products, the speed with which peoplein this space can communicate with one another and the pace of development made possible by ubiquitous networking. {Source: http://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/about/discussion/blogging.html last accessed September 2007}Q2. How has the Internet allowed film-makers to find and attractaudiences in different ways? 13 Corporate Intrusion into CyberspaceIt is important to contextualise some of the new digital media activities that have madeconvergence possible and in fact accelerated it. During the 1990s, the shift to digital transmission of all forms of data has increased at anaccelerated pace. This shift to computer language has already redefined the music industry and will overtake film, radio, and television production and distribution. In the future virtually all forms of data and information will be produced and stored in interchangeable digital bits. (Herman and McChesney 1997)When previously do-it-yourself’ media institutions like YouTube and MySpace werepurchased by big media players (News Corporation bought MySpace; Google boughtYouTube), immediately the relaxed approach to copyright ceased and the sites became morevisibly corporate. For example, much illegally posted material has been removed fromYouTube and MySpace is now using the Gracenote software made famous by iTunes to clearcopyright and intellectual property at the point of download.If it seems strange that the big corporations are keen to either take over or form partnershipswith websites that threaten them by distributing material for free, thenconsider this. UK onlyinternet advertising generates around £2 billion a year - more than 50 per cent of the moneymade from TV ads. This figure has increased greatly in the course of 2007. Why? More UKhomes are now equipped with broadband. This results in an increase in time spent onlinecompared to other media (such as TV) and this has in turn created a huge increase in moneyinvested in online adverts—a fairly simple equation. Currently, Google alone clean uparound 45 per cent of all the revenue from online ads in the UK – about £1 billion.How is the Internet changing things? Web 2.0Web 2.0 describes a new phase of the internet, which allows us to create material, distributeit to one another (and thus share it) and perhaps move closer to the democratic spirit of theinternet that its inventor, Tim Berners-Lee, had in mind. [There is] a growing trend in media away from established institutions and expert content, towards user-generated content and the power of virtual communities. You cant have failed to come across the story of how The Blair Witch Project used viral marketing or how the Arctic Monkeys used MySpace to take over the world. Even though the latter is not strictly true, MySpace did help to generate a tremendous amount of interest in the band amongst users, illustrating the power new media has to reach audiences. It also demonstrates why traditional media institutions feel threatened by new media: if they dont keep up they might die. Why else did News Corp buy MySpace, or MTV offer screen time to user-created content, or The Guardian set up so many blogs and talkboards to encourage audience participation? (Luhrs 2007)There is clearly a need to look at film production, distribution and consumption in new ways. 14 Web 2.0 is a positive, ‘democratic’ development for ordinary people who find themselveswith relatively cheap, instant access to film production and distribution – even a cameraphone or webcam,combined with a broadband connection can make you an overnightsensation on YouTube - but we need to take a reality check with regard to two issues. 1. The most popular web 2.0 sites are owned by huge companies so every moment of democratic We Media social networking makes money for the big corporations - the same ones that were making billions from the web first time round are now getting even richer. 2. Consider these statistics from (2007): Only 0.16 % of YouTube visitors upload video 0.2 % of Flickr visitors upload photos Wikipedia, the most web 2.0 site imaginable given that the online encyclopaedia is written by its readers, only gets edited/expanded by 4.59 % of users.These figures make it clear that most of us are still justusing the web to read, watch, play andlisten and not to produce (create) and distribute (upload) which is how we wereusing oldmedia. Has anything really changed?Case Study - YouTubeYouTube is possibly the most revolutionaryexample of this new approach using new media.For many people it has become the first port ofcall when seeking video material, and along withMySpace, it enables amateur film-makers andmusicians to distribute their material to a vastaudience. A feature that is especially useful tomedia studentsis the way that users can postcomments on a video.YouTube, like Flickr and Del.icio.us, offers social tagging, which means that the userscategorise and classify the content (as opposed to this being done by the website or throughsoftware). YouTube is an interesting mix of DIY uploads, with some notable examples ofordinary people achieving global recognition for their videos but it has also created a recentmoral panic.The uploading of videos made by teenage gang membersbrandishing guns is causing serious concern in theaftermath of fatal shootings of children across the country,and the perhaps less serious happy slappy culture wasmade possible by YouTube.However, much of YouTube consists of uploads of existingcommercial material, music videos, film trailers etc which effectively act as free or belowthe line advertising for film and music distribution companies. 15 Case Study – The Decline of MySpace Most MySpace users were between 16 and 25, which, considered alongside the staggering number of profilesin existence, helps us realise why Rupert Murdoch wanted to buy the site. This age group is one that advertisers are always desperate to reach, as they are the major audience for a host of entertainment- related products and services. MySpace became a hub for a variety of commercial enterprise, much of it the independent distribution of music by bandswithout a record deal. It is now possible to sell music via Paypal through MySpace, so wecurrently have the ironic state of play whereby small bands and independent film makers canuse a website owned by News Corporation (the most major of all the major mediainstitutions) to bypass the mainstream music and film industries. MySpace now has its ownmusic label, and many existing bands with long established recording contracts now releasesome of their music on the site. The content published on MySpace by its users varies from personal diary entries and discussions about the latest film or television episode, to the publication of original creative works such as digital photography and artwork or poetry. Of particular interest to News Corporation is that prior to its purchase, the top four discussion areas on MySpace were for content owned by NewsCorp itself: Family Guy, The OC, The Simpsons and Napoleon Dynamite. Whatever the fate of MySpace, its clear that media companies (both new entrants and established players) are starting to see the value of user-generated content and the advertising revenue that can be made from it. Murdoch may be right in his view that the MySpace generation wants to consume and produce media on their own terms, but if he has his way it will still be the one god-like figure from above who will be the one to profit. (OHear 2006)However, that was four years ago, and things move fast online: MySpace halves UK audienceMySpace has halved its UK audience within the last 12 months…Daily Telegraph 22 Jul2010The new figures reveal that MySpace’s audience numbers dropped by 49 per cent over thelast year, falling from 6.5 million visitors in May 2009, to just 3.3 million in May 2010.The news comes hot on the heels of the site’s major rival, Facebook,hitting 500 millionregistered users.MySpace, founded in 2003, at its peak had more than 100 million registered members, but itsaudience has been declining since the rise of Facebook in 2008.The latest set of data also revealed that nine out of ten of the 38.2 million UK internet usersover the age of 15 used social media in May 2010. Twitter was found to have 4.3 million 16 users in the UK but unlike MySpace, has grown its audience by 62 per cent over the last 12months.Facebook is used by 30.4 million people in the UK, which worked out as 79 per cent of thecountry’s online population.MySpace’s decline is in spite of arevampof the site’s functionality and renewed focus onmusic and entertainment content. The site also launched MySpace Music in May 2010, anew streaming and subscription service, which has faced stiff competition from the likes ofSpotify.And then in 2011: Myspace sold for $35m in spectacular fall from $12bn heydayFive years ago News Corp bought it for $580m – then it was crushed by Facebook, leaving itat a fraction of its peak value – The Guardian June 2011Myspace, once the worlds hottest internet firm, has been sold to an online ad company foraround $35m, a fraction of the $100m its parent company was seeking for the ailing socialnetwork and billions less than its value five years ago.Rupert Murdochs News Corporation bought Myspace in 2005 for $580m. In 2006 Googlesigned a $900m deal to sell ads on Myspace; by 2007 it had 300m registered users and wasbeing valued at $12bn. But the social network was subsequently crushed by Facebook, whichlaunched a year after Myspace.News Corp put Myspace up for sale this year, engaging investment bank Allen & Co to finda buyer. News had been looking for $100m but settled for $35m offer from advertisingtargeting firm Specific Media. The sale is believed to be mainly in stock and News Corp willretain a small holding. 17 Myspace is expected to shed more than half of its 500 remaining members of staff as part ofthe deal. The layoffs follow a 30% staff reduction in April 2010 and a further cut of 47% inJanuary 2011. Two years ago Myspace employed more than 1,400 people.Facebook passed Myspace in terms of numbers of users two years ago. As people droppedMyspace, so did advertisers. Market research firm eMarketer estimates that the site will earnabout $183m in worldwide ad revenues this year, down from $605m at its peak.The sale comes as a new generation of internet firms are attracting sky-high valuations.Zynga, the online games developer behind hits including CityVille and FarmVille, isplanning an initial public offering (IPO) that could value it at $20bn. LinkedIn, the business-focused social network, has already gone public and is valued at $8.6bn. Next year Facebookis expected to go public – analysts have estimated it could be worth $80bn or more.Q3. Summarise how you think sites like YouTube, Spotify andFacebook are good for film audiences. What do they let us do,that we couldn’t before? 18 English
