and internationally (Fox) differs in the way the industry is structured with reference to national and international companies.
• You will highlight how film operates regionally (EM Media), nationally (Film 4, British Film Council) and Internationally (Hollywood studios)
• You will name specific film and TV companies and discuss the wider patterns of ownership (e.g. 20th Century Fox is part of the Fox Network owned by Rupert Murdock).
