What does it mean to be ‘Live’? Part 3

What does it mean to be live? Part 3
Following from our previous posts on the ‘The Virtual Presenter’, “What does it mean to present in the ‘live’ world?”

In this series o
f blog posts, we’ll take a tour of some of the industries that have already grappled with this question.
1 Theatre
2 Music

3 Movies
When movies were released as videos and DVDs, it was commonly thought that cinemas would close too.
They haven’t.

Currency is also vital. Seeing a movie before your
friends do is worth bragging rights.
It als
o becomes a place to hang out for various reasons…
I love a movie on a hot summers day with an ice-cream. The air-con is worth the price alone!

Note: The snack-bar can be the most profitable part of the movie for the cinema owner.

Questions

  • What can you provide in a movie, recorded YouTube format that you can’t provide live?
  • Think of your play reel. You can edit out the bad bits, stack in the good bits, time it perfectly, add sound, add special effects and…
  • Also, what’s the timeframe for your story? Do you have a latest release? And, who gets to see it?
  • Are clients paying for a re-run or new release?
  • What’s your snack-bar? Are you leaving profits behinds?
