Radio
Being a media-based way of audio and general communication,
Radio has been a major influence throughout the years. The industry itself is
vastly expanding and now has approximately 22,000 local residents in the
working field. These can range in size and structure from something as
well-known as the BBC to not-for-profit radio stations, run mainly by
volunteers. These operatives tumble into three vast classifications:
publicly-funded radio, commercial radio and the community radio sector – from
the deep-rooted student and hospital radio to community radio stations that
have recently received their license.
Within the structure of Radio, the production department of a radio station composed of the Production staff, Operations staff, also on air personalities such as hosts, co-host, anchors, disc jockeys (more commonly referred to as DJs) and/or radio jockeys.
The Production department makes sure that all contents and commercials are timed and lined up correctly for broadcast.
The on-air personalities deliver the voices that the public are listening to and are usually labelled as the main part of the radio development. The production department is also aided by the traffic managers, otherwise known as the people who plan the broadcast of these commercials on air. The Creative Department aids the production department with content support. The creative department is made up of copy writers who write the scripts for the commercials and for the programs.
The marketing and sales department holds the responsibility for producing direct revenue for the radio station by selling what is known as 'air time' to the advertisers. It consists of several people who accomplish different functions ranging from a 'Sales head' who supervises the performance of the entire department to make certain the revenue requirements are up to par.
The department has a rather large sum of sales men who will approach the advertisers and prospective advertisers to sell the 'air time' and also to discuss the terms and the payment details with said advertisers.
Defined as ‘the radiation wireless transmission of electromagnetic signals’, this means that information, being most commonly sound is carried by changing the properties that the radio waves possess, such as frequency, amplitude or pulse width.

Film
The film industry is a constantly evolving business and the way in which we view film has changed a large amount. The first film ever made went by the name ‘The Great Train Robbery’, in 1903. Typically in black and white with no audio, while we now see films like ‘The Lord of The Rings’ with spectacular effects and a wide spectrum of coloured visuals are used throughout. In the UK alone the film industry employed around 27,800 people in 2008. The most common business centres in regards to film are located in the US, India, Hong Kong and Nigeria. The industry is normally funded through private owned companies like Sony and Warner Brothers, due to the reason that these companies have earned their money due to turnover of films they have invested in from past events.When talking about the structure of Film, it is usually broken down into 6 main categories. These being: Production, Development, Facilities, Distribution, Exhibition and Export. Apparently there are around 400 permanent, or in other words registered, companies in the industry.
Of
course the number shall vary depending on the amount of productions being
worked on at a certain time. In short, a movie is a selection of still images
when put together look to be moving when shown on screen. Depending on the
method, for example taking actual photographs with a motion picture camera,
photographing drawings or clay figurines (Claymation) or other models using
traditional animation techniques, by the means of CGI and computer animation,
or a combination of all three along with other visual effects.
When talking about the structure of the film industry, Production in simple terms is the creative process of actually making the film. Mostly when creating films Production companies are there to create the motion picture, the nature of the industry means they are often set up just for specific projects and then are closed down again when the production is finished. However, before this department can do its job, Development has to find and finance the original film idea.
After production comes 'post production', the group who will edit the film. Following this, then comes distribution which is most of the time unfamiliar when brought up in explanation. It focuses on who to actually sell the film to, or also known as the 'target audience.' This involves making a license agreement with the studio of the film and then making the decision of how many copies of the film to make. Distribution will then show the film to 'buyers' representing the theatre and/or exhibition. The buyers then release the film to be watched in the theatre to gain money from the tickets and from the theatres facilities such as food and drink. When the lease ends the theatre will then pay the money back to the industry, which then will pay each sector.
