Technology’s wake-up calls • Faster processors • Increased storage capacity • Expanding network bandwidth
Relative disabilities • Recorded music • Same wake-up calls • Reduced capital costs • Marginal cost, and therefore, price approaching zero • Studios’ heads in the sand • Movies • Same wake-up calls • Much higher capital costs for human capital • Large sunk costs still likely • Innovative efforts to explore new channels: Hulu, Netflix
A new three-legged stool • Digital exhibition in movie theaters • Internet browsers—fixed and mobile-- as a TV sets • Videogames as platforms for narrative movies
Is the tail wagging the dog? • Too much on • Narrative principles? • Stages of production? • “Facts” in consumption section • Enough on • New possibilities? • New opportunities for revenue? • IP discussion at the end, as now, or as part of serialization section?
