Digital (New Media) Update and Opps for Independents
Thursday & Friday, 30 June-1 July 2011
Wendy Bernfeld, MD of Rights Stuff, canvasses various different ways producers can monetise their programmes (catalog, as well as current), and also addresses other potential sources of funding for new original productions (transmedia/cross platform) via new media platforms internationally.
As a backdrop, an overview of recent launches and developments in international online, mobile, IPTV, consumer electronic and other new media video platforms is presented, in North America as well as Europe. Various key recent trends are explored, including shifting ‘’windows’’, blurring devices ( eg tablets, connected tvs) and the ever- evolving roles of distributors, festivals, and producers. The discussion also clarifies he various consumer and business models (including rental, subscription, ad-supported, catchup, and sell-thru/download-to-own) and pragmatic tips are provided.
