You are changing the world of television - SlashGear

Changing cover tv world

Yes

You. You are changing the world of television as we know it decades. In gratitude of all, let me thank you for it. And you know what? television are changing for the better.

not been easy. You had to have a hard time occasionally, but your actions, even small ones, have made that television as we know it is changing slowly. Look, surely we are seeing changes immediately, surely you off to see that your attempts to make TV more social and are not reflected in this moment, but trust me, you’re doing something bigger than you thought. You legend, you write about what you are helping to make. You should be proud.

But surely you will not know how you did it. The truth is that surely did not know you were changing the world of television. Well, well … have you ever seen a series streaming from Netflix? Have you ever downloaded an entire season of a series for a recommendation? Do you download every day some series because you are hooked and in your country have not kept up with the chapters issued in their country of origin? Congratulations. You are responsible for changing the television.

So far as a script for a series got through the filters of the strings to create the first episode, usually choose a producer, a director, casting and creating the first episode to be seen by a handful of elected by the producer to do a market study. If you intended the script is what you get, or just to see if all the players like them or not. A few weeks or sometimes months after last issue is accomplished pilot episode, if the results are good episodes are being created. If the fifth or sixth episode manages to have good hearing and the issuing chain manages to sell advertising on your time, you buy an entire season. If when the season will end the series has become known, is renewed for another season.

This is, more or less, the way in which the series productions in Hollywood work. And it is in Hollywood where real changes in the industry have an effect on the rest of the world as the world capital of film and television production. It’s just that this has been until recently, it has now managed to change the model.


Netflix model

can not say that Netflix is ??the first to produce a series exclusively for media streaming, we have thousands of channels and TV on YouTube doing this every day, but if we look at a much more professional, Netflix has been the first to produce a number of reputable and emitting.

House of Cards, this is the series that we can say was the first to officially has managed to change something in the world of television. At the production level, in terms of casting, and shooting at script level this series could be broadcasted at a rate of chapter per week in big chain names such as HBO or AMC. Instead, he threw a season low for all Netflix subscribers chapters could see they wanted.

What has led to a production like this to do something like this? The series downloads are not counted when making a study of views it has had a number, it is usually the average account is achieved when broadcast on television and after the number of sales you have the DVD or Blu-ray once past few months and is offered for sale. What P2P networks have given us is being able to access a lot of content regardless of region limitations. Right now you can access a Japanese series and download a whole season because there is simply no easy way to grab a physical copy or digital.

Has this change in the behavior of people has led many producers to rethink the way you work and make money. People are going to “hack” your show because they like and want to enjoy the day after she is in the country that is . Why not get ahead of them and just make distribution easier?

Netflix has been one of the most is supporting the series premiere directly on its platform. But not forgetting others like Amazon or Xbox which also are preparing or have already launched new exclusive series on their platforms.


The success of the series in streaming

no one escapes, television is not the same as Internet, in the same way that television is not the same as the film. When we talk about change through internet television we can not expect the same results ever obtained on television.

Unfortunately

Internet distribution is very irregular, not like on TV that can go almost anywhere thanks to radio frequency is distributed, not fiber optic or other “physical”. The connection speed is crucial to enjoy a number, because it’s not the same download a chapter for a while, neither is see a chapter in streaming to download.

Nor is the same in hearings, not the same the share that can take a large chain prime as Fox or NBC to name a few large U.S.. UU. which emit series of great importance, that the number of audience is very different and should be measured in another way, more like a release of a DVD / Blu-ray to a premiere. Although now streaming visualizations will begin to be affected in the final numbers of ratings because Nielsen’s going to start considering.

long said that House of Cards was not a great success in terms related to the rest of Netflix content. But if you have made a success of visualizations and especially Netflix elevate itself as a content producer.

Amazon

model

Amazon has released fourteen new series pilot. Fourteen .

These are many series of a company like Amazon that although his business is huge selling all kinds of products all over the world, when it comes to creating content comes stomping with productions such as adaptation to series Zombieland . The funny thing is Amazon are giving customers the power to decide which series become completely produced. The fourteen series may be in the middle when they choose the spectators, and will be issued in full system within the Amazon VOD.

Amazon

to change the model of television production. If previously few people who had a device capable of measuring audiences at home, now the power is transferred to anyone with access to your system and Amazon VOD .


The second opportunity

series productions Internet can be lower than the U.S. national broadcasts on that later become successes (or failures) standards. But if there is something that this new form of production are given second chances.

Although unconventional, imagine being able to return to see those series that you loved but they canceled prematurely. Imagine being able to back a new season of Firefly. It would be great, although I will not deny that it is very unlikely after all this time back to the protagonists, because the first is that it is very rare that a team like this again for a series form. Nor can we deny the aging effect of the script or the series, although our sentimentality we do fall into the trap of seeing a number, and not the same, not the stories.

Perhaps

a great series as Arrested Development back to life in a new season exclusively for Netflix before his film, is a sign that this is possible. It’s weird because many years have passed, but possible. Perhaps it is a peculiarity of the comedies that are easier to bring back to life because in the end are the jokes, gags small or reactions to issues that are happening now which makes them easier to digest .

is rumored that another series that should never happen in a season as Heroes, will come to life thanks to the production of Microsoft for Xbox platform. They saved the cheerleader, but can be saved again this series even on another platform?


Geographical Location

Not everything is perfect, I know. Although it is changing the television model, there is still a huge barrier that is separating us, and geographic position. Netflix released their series for EE. UU., Amazon is limiting their U.S. premieres. UU. and the UK. Although already released Xbox Forward Until Dawn , the mini series based on the Halo universe internationally, we can surely expect to see at some point the new Heroes, be restricted to EE. UU.

productions of this type are usually limited not because sites like Netflix or Amazon want, for them the more people can get better because it means more money for them, but it takes advertising and are not very good on this issue when it was of North America.

Looks like we

special productions for Latin America, but in a small fraction, which is a step, a small step.

We

changing the world of television. It took and still not over. There is work to do, but your actions are the future of media like these.
