Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Communications - Broadcast and entertainment, grade: 1,6, London Metropolitan University (London Metropolitan University), language: English, abstract: Britney Spears is an American pop music singer, songwriter, dancer, actress and author. She has sold over 83 million records worldwide and is the only female in music history to have had her first four albums debut at No. 1. Britney's extremely successful career took off in the late 90's and was targeted at a teenage audience, with emphasis put on her projected image. Her at times controversial music videos and live performances have contributed to her success immensely as have product endorsements and merchandising. Britney, who was discovered by Larry Rudolph in 1995, was created and supported by a strong management team. Ever since splitting from long time manager Rudolph in 2004, Britney's management has changed constantly with even her being her own manager at one point. Combined with her current personal struggles this is having a rather negative impact on her career, with her image suffering greatly under these circumstances. Although sales for her newest album "Blackout" have been doing well, critics tend to credit the producers rather than Britney herself. Other critics question as to whether the album, which is predominantly perceived as good, is enough to maintain her successful career. Taking all these current factors into consideration, it is advisable to contract a strong and stable management team for Britney who will step in to save her flagging career and simultaneously help her regain her high public profile.
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 2, London Metropolitan University, language: English, abstract: Jamie Cullum - LIVE at GMD is the live debut of Jamie Cullum in Graz, Austria. The event is envisioned as the exclusive highlight of the city's annual jazz festival, Jazz Sommer Graz. Simultaneously Jamie's new album, which will be released in early 2009, will be promoted. Through the cooperation with Jazz Sommer Graz, the show is supported by local government departments and media organizations enjoying a good and solid reputation. Upon success the ultimate goal is to maintain this collaboration, turning the one-off event into a regular feature of the festival's program with comparable artists performing in the future. The event demonstrates strengths regarding artist and fans, location and venue as well as funding and sponsoring. Weaknesses are formed by the capacity of suppliers and volunteers at the time of the event. Whilst threats include the current economic decline, consumer confidence levels, improved home entertainment systems and potential bad behaviour, opportunities are seen in low cost marketing and the promising cooperation with Jazz Sommer Graz. Due to the event's collaboration with Jazz Sommer Graz promotion will primarily take place on the same platforms, coordinated to match the festival's overall marketing approach. This encompasses clever and timely marketing utilizing internet, radio and the print media to convey the marketing message. The plan is developed to target maximum exposure at an inexpensive rate to help achieve the specified marketing objectives. These include booking out the venue by attracting 550 attendees, making 16.500 in ticket sales, getting six reviews in four regional newspapers and two magazines as well as obtaining the annual tie-in with Jazz Sommer Graz.
Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, grade: 1,1, London Metropolitan University (London Metropolitan University), language: English, abstract: In recent years the television industry has been marked by constant revolution, especially with digital transmission increasing the number of channels and ultimately creating competition between the broadcasters. Two important current issues within broadcasting are convergence and interactivity, which both form an essential part of Reality TV. Reality TV illustrates convergence and interactivity by involving the audience through live events, telephone and online voting. The internet is used as a main platform and helps reach Reality TV's target audience. The history of the sector is multi-faceted with the first Reality TV show, arguably Candid Camera, dating back to 1948. Today's popular reality shows like Big Brother and Pop Idol can be viewed on UK's terrestrial channels ITV and Channel 4. Zone Reality is the UK's first and only channel devoted exclusively to Reality TV. Reality TV's main target group is that of women aged 15 to 34 years of age. Audience figures show 12 % watching reality programmes on terrestrial channels and 16 % watching them on multi-channel pay TV. Reality TV has high commercial value partly due to it being a key site for "advertainment" - the merging of advertising and entertainment programming. Two of the most successful formats of Reality TV are Big Brother and Popstars/Pop Idol. Their massive success is demonstrated by their ratings and their market share. Furthermore, some reality shows not only generate money by advertising revenue but also by various other sources such as phone line, internet and sponsorship revenue.
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, grade: 1,1, London Metropolitan University (London Metropolitan University), language: English, abstract: “The X Factor” is a reality pop program which first aired in the UK in September 2004 and which is still on screens today. The history of the sector is multi-faceted with the very first reality pop series, New Zealand’s “Popstars”, dating back to 1999. “The X Factor” emerged after “Pop Idol”, a similar show to “Popstars”, was put on indefinite hiatus after its second run. Ever since its first series, “The X Factor” has gone from strength to strength, with audience and voting figures increasing with each series. The single most important person behind “The X Factor” is music mogul Simon Cowell who created the show back in 2004. His television company SyCo TV produces the program together with Fremantle Media’s talkbackTHAMES. “The X Factor” is aimed at reality TV’s target demographic and manages to attract an audience of approximately 8-9m during its weekly live broadcasts. As the reality genre has proven particularly amenable to TV and media convergence, “The X Factor” does not just rely on the television set to communicate its message to its audiences. It also relies on other “platforms”, like the internet, live events and telephone voting, hence altering popular music consumption. With the audience determining the winner of “The X Factor” several albums released by contestants have reached the UK Albums Chart; six of them making it to number one. “The X Factor” is often heavily criticized for standardizing pop music. Winners of “The X Factor” are often referred to as over-hyped and over-manufactured artists with reality pop programs being accused of not producing important or lasting musicians. However the commercial success of “The X Factor” is indisputable, which as a result, continues to encourage the production of further X Factor series as well as similar shows to go on.
