Understanding developing technologies in the television and film industries

• Satellite TV - television broadcasting is a kind of broadcasting delivery, it uses space satellites to deliver singles using things like satellite dishes etc. Satellite TV helps deliver signals in areas where people might not have cable television, for example, sky TV uses this, you can record things that are on sky so that you can watch them when ever you want, but you can only record 2 TV channels at once.

• Film - film has changes in a lot of different ways, the editing software and editing techniques have changed a lot, there are now a lot of different steps to editing films to make it look a lot more professional, things like £D printing have developed a lot because people can now print out things for sets like props and things for the background.

• Streaming content and providers - this is when you watch/stream TV shows/movies on things like Netflix or amazon prime. Streaming content and providers are developing a lot because people are making more things to watch movies on and things like Netflix are updating all to time to make it better for people to watch things and the quality of things are getting better too.

• High definition- this is when you can watch movies that are in Ultra HD, 4k or Blu-ray. High definition is developing a lot because the quality of TV is getting a lot better, before the quality wasn't that good, in 1930s to the 1960 movies and TV shows where mainly black and white, the first TV shows/movies that had colour where made shortly after this.

• Interactive- this is when you play games that you can interact with for example mobile games, Xbox, Nintendo, etc. These have all changed a lot, the graphics in games have changed a lot for example the first Nintendo that was created in 1985 didn't have good graphics it was usually very pixelated, but now the graphics have improved a lot, for example the Xbox one and the Nintendo switch have a lot of games that have really good quality, it has improved a lot. there is also a lot of features on gaming consoles that what there was before, on the Xbox one you can watch TV shows, watch movies, listen to music and play games, there are also a lot of apps that you can get on the Xbox one for example, youtube, twitch, etc. a lot of other consoles now do that to like the PlayStation 4, wii u, etc. when the PlayStation 1 was created you would have to sit quite close to the TV screen because the controllers where connected to the PlayStation but now you don't have to do that, with things like the Nintendo switch or the wii you can be more active while using it because the wii requires you to stand up so you more space to do things and with the Nintendo switch you can play it wherever you want, with the wii u you can use that wherever you want because it has a screen on it.
