This music industry is a very competitive industry to get into. There are so many people that say that want to make as a superstar but actually don’t try.
There are many jobs you can get within this industry some are easy then others, like if you want to be music producer that could be extremely competitive to get into. Or if you wanted to be a DJ that would be just as hard, if you wanted to be a as musician that would be very competitive it would be the most competitive one because some many people want to get into this industry and make them self’s famous and have a taste of the fame and glamour. Not all make it, you have to have talent and really stand out from the crowd to make it. Other jobs that might be just as competitive in the music industry would be:
- Editor
- Compose
- Sound Producer
- Graphic producers
- Art department
- Manages

There are many more jobs then that are competitive in this industry i have listed the major ones.
- Companies that exist within this industry are:
- Hollywood Records
- Sony Music Entertainment

- Apple Inc
- Lakeland Records Ltd
These companies are some of the major ones within this industry.
Facts and figures about the Music Industry:
Starting with Facts:
In the early 20th century, the recording of sound began to function as a disruptive technology in music markets. The phonograph, invented by Thomas Edison in 1877, industry grew greatly in importance, and the "record industry" eventually replaced the sheet music publishers as the industry's largest force. A multitude of record labels came and went, but a handful of label corporations prospered for decades. By the end of the 1980s, the "Big 6" — EMI, CBS, BMG, PolyGram, WEA and MCA — dominated the industry. Sony bought CBS Records in 1987 and changed its name to Sony Music in 1991. In mid-1998, PolyGram merged into Universal Music Group (formerly MCA), dropping the leaders down to a "Big 5". (They became the "Big 4" in 2004 when BMG merged into Sony.)
I got this from a website online I think Wikipedia I cannot get the link for you as I did this on my laptop at home.
Figures:
Some figure on how much a Music Producer. The salary of a music producer is £13 million a year.
How many people download music each year?
85,795,482.
Disney’s Employees 150,000 (2008)
Total equity US $54.878 billion (2008)
Revenue US $37.843 billion (2008)
A description of the corporations that own the major companies in this sector:
Corporations that’s own a lot of the media sector would be News Corporation.
Sony music entertainment own Jive Records.
Music Production
Sony is the sole shareholder of major label distributor Sony Music. The subsidy was assembled from Sony's acquisition of Columbia Music from CBS in the 1980s as well as a merger with BMG music in 2004. Again i think it was Wikipedia i got this from but i cannot not be sure as i did it on my Home Laptop.
Hollywood Records are owned by the Disney Corporation the Disney Corporation is a successful Company.
WMG is the only one of the big four record companies that cannot trace its ancestry to either the Columbia Phonograph Company or Berliner Gramophone. WMG's roots date back to the founding of Warner Bros. Records as a division of the Warner Bros. movie studio in 1958, in reaction to one of its contracted actors, Tab Hunter, scoring a hit for Dot Records, a division of Paramount Pictures. In 1963, Warner Bros. purchased Reprise Records, founded by Frank Sinatra three years earlier so that he could have more creative control over his recordings. I got some of this from Wikipedia but some of I put into my own words and I cannot get the link to this because I did it on my laptop at home.
Universal Music Group owns a music publisher, Universal Music Publishing Group, which became the world's largest following the acquisition of BMG Music Publishing in May 2007.

James Clerk Maxwell, a theoretical physicist who developed a set of equations describing electromagnetic waves. These later later became known as Maxwell's equations.
The early history of radio is the history of technology that produced radio instruments that use radio waves. Within the timeline of radio, many people contributed theory and inventions in what became radio.[1] Radio development began as "wireless telegraphy". Later radio history increasingly involves matters of programming and content.

Actress/actor, Camera person, Producer, Stunt man, Script writer, Singer, Dancer, Someone who controls all the sound, Lighting, Extra.
· What type of skills would you need, to apply for a job in each of your chosen industries?
You have to be able to take a story on paper (The script) and make it into a movie. If your just starting out, odds are, your gone be doing a lot of jobs (i.e. Operating the camera, editing the footage, writing scripts) but if you get collaborators around with you, you'll be able to really on them to help you make your film.
Also, some nice skills to have are.
- Technical understanding of Cameras/Cinematography
- Communication skill (So you can tell others (actors) what you want, and how you want it
- Commitment. If you ever want your movie to be finished, you have to completely committed to it getting done...or it won't
Knowledge in visual composition, writing, technical application, computers, and film in general. Personal skills needed are, organized, decisive, and management skills, because when a production is actually filmed, it is like an assembly-line of fragmented scenes all shot on a tight time schedule.
A director needs to be organized, decisive, and have management skills because when a production is filmed, it is a series of fragmented scenes shot out of order and on a tight time schedule. A director is in charge of this assembly line, and in most cases answers to the producer.
While earning your degree you can also work in local television which will give you experience, connections, and help pay the bills. Film and television are very related to each other.
Directors usually have worked their way up doing physical production work.
A degree in media, journalism or communications is very helpful.

4. Write up your notes into three mini reports (min 150 words). Each report should contain details of the following.
· Historical Origins and developments within the industry
Preceding film by thousands of years, plays and dances had elements common to film: scripts, sets, costumes, production, direction, actors, audiences, storyboards, and scores. Much terminology later used in film theory and criticism applied, such as mise en scene (roughly, the entire visual picture at any one time). Moving visual and aural images were not recorded for replaying as in film.
The camera obscura was pioneered by Alhazen in his Book of Optics (1020), and later near the year 1600, it was perfected by Giambattista della Porta. Light is inverted through a small hole or lens from outside, and projected onto a surface or screen, creating a moving image, but it is not preserved in a recording.
In the 1860s, mechanisms for producing two-dimensional drawings in motion were demonstrated with devices such as the zoetrope, mutoscope and praxinoscope. These machines were outgrowths of simple optical devices (such as magic lanterns) and would display sequences of still pictures at sufficient speed for the images on the pictures to appear to be moving, a phenomenon called persistence of vision. Naturally the images needed to be carefully designed to achieve the desired effect, and the underlying principle became the basis for the development of film animation.
