Diante MosesMovies are a tool for many people to enjoy their afternoons and late nights and Social media has been an escape from the real world. Throughout time movies has transferred from VCR consent tapes to DVD’s and now to online streaming, and this has generated internet entertainment services, such as Netflix. Also, social media has pushed its limits to the next level such as Facebook. Netflix and Facebook has found a way to tend to their audience and upgrade their own programs.
Theses Internet entertainment services use to host most of their movies but now they are able to produce their own movies and shows. For example, Tarzan is a movie created by Disney entertainment and this movie was featured as a movie to watch on Netflix program. If Netflix gets their own movies and shows they would not have to worry about hosting movies such as Tarzan. On the other hand, Netflix are hosting and producing their movies. This is considered new media because of the sudden change from hosting to producing. The entertainment company now holds the power to create their own shows which generate more money and credibility. This is a huge jump for movie entertainment because now they do not have to worry about hosting movies which cost more money for the company. The transition from hosting to producing allows for the company to earn a flow of money. Media is constantly changing and with this new step Netflix can make movies more suitable for their program. Instead of trying to find producers that will allow Netflix to show their movies while paying them. Netflix can knock out two birds with one stone by creating movies that specifically fit their categories for their program. There was only one minor problem with using different company’s movies, like Disney, and the problem was the contract. If Disney ends their contract with Netflix and tells Netflix they will not allow for any of Disney's big hit movies to show on their program, then the major movies such as Frozen will be stripped away from Netflix; and that is a reason why Netflix has put so much time into producing their own shows. This allows them to not be afraid of losing lots of customers and money. I would not be surprised if this transformation became a trend among all Internet Entertainment services. This movement is huge and could allow companies to be known as their own entity instead of being recognized for having other companies’ movies. Being able to produce good movies with their name branded to the production and the making of the movie will give them good credibility, but not only do programs such as Netflix take part in this evolution. Social media has joined the group. Facebook figured they would make their own shows to entertain their audience. This is a huge step in social media because not only do people like to socialize now they will be able to get valid information from the shows produced on the site. With this type of movement Facebook can give people another reason to stick with their program a little longer before finding something else that may be more exciting for society. Producing a show that will make their audience gravitate to their app only makes it more credible and trustworthy. By giving their customers a show to watch it will push the social media site from social site to a social/show site that allows for their customers to interact with each other as well as watch shows that interest the public. The two companies Netflix and Facebook are making a transition into new media allowing themselves to move up in the ranks. Producing their own shows benefits the community and their company because it allows people to watch something creative and new while the company earn tremendous amounts of money. It gives their audience the choice to watch their self-produced movies without any worry of losing customers. There are more choices and categories when a company makes produce their own shows and it brings a different flavor than most companies. Disney makes Disney movies and many people know what to expect from Disney, but with Netflix making their own movies it can leave suspense because you do not know what to expect. Movies give the audience more choices and this proves the programs to be exciting. One of the shows you may like could be an original from Netflix and now instead of watching the shows made from top programs like stars, you find yourself currently watching the Stranger Things from Netflix own production. The more shows Netflix has can also shift everyone to watching majority of their shows. Now people can buy Netflix for their own movies instead of looking for shows that may not be currently on the program. This eliminate disappointment in customers and give them beyond what they ask for. Providing that trust in their movement and in the shows provided by them will help with their name and promotion, Netflix is smart for their transition. Netflix and Facebook hosting their own shows is a big transition from old to new media. This alone could help with their credibility and profit. This transition can help change the way internet entertainment companies run their programs.
