Discuss the impact of funding on media products?
Jack Stimson.
Media products need funding to make the products that do well. If a media product does not have funding it will not be able to get the essential needs for filming. The more funding it has the more special effect it will be able to have.
Most media products use special effects for at least some things. Even though some good movies don’t use special effects like Mission Impossible they still have to pay a lot for the big actors that do their own stunts like Tom cruise. Other movies like Avengers Endgame pay millions to get the movies done. But paying millions for special effects pays off. Endgame spent about 365 dollars for special effects but made about 3 billion dollars. They are also able to make a sequel of movies with the same effects. By the last movie they almost had everything they needed.
Another big impact funding has on media products is advertising. If a media product isn’t able to advertise their product nobody will know it’s coming out. The more funding they get, the more they are going to be able to advertise their product. Avengers endgame spent about 200million advertising their product. Since everyone knew it was coming out they went to go watch it. If aveger wasn’t able to do that they wouldn’t have made as much money as they did. The funding allowed them to advertise their product everywhere.
The final way funding affects products is the actors. The more money you're allowed to spend the better the actors you can have. If you have an actor like Tom Cruise it will probably cost a lot. The money you use to higher also helps the acting level. Tom Cruise does all of his stunts so you won’t have to pay for a stunt guy. Also the bigger the names more people will hear about it and would want to watch the movie.
In conclusion the more funding you get the more money you’ll get in the long run. Next time you make a movie try to get as much funding as you can. You can never have too much funding.
