5. If the News Corporation was producing a film: If the News Corporation were to make a film, the subsidiaries which would help it to distribute it and exhibit is would be a fair few, included in this would be: New York Post, The Times, The Sunday Times- these would be used to advertise and make the target audience aware that the film was being made, and coming out. The newspapers would have to write positively about the film, as it’s part of the corporation, and that’s what’s expected of it. This in turn, would make the target audience become more interested and aware of the film made. Sky, or any of the Fox TV shows could exhibit their movie there, after it’s been released and is showing on Television. Sky is always the first TV channel to see the movies on the channel before any other channels. (This in fact, caused a stir in the news, claiming that it doesn’t give the other channels a chance). and before online streaming sites, such as LoveFilm, and Netflix. This would help exhibit the movie as they’d get a lot of media attention, they’d make it so they’d have a lot of adverts for it. 20th Centaury Fox Home Entertainment, and Media Home Entertainment would be used to distribute the film’s hard copy’s to DVD.
