Film-Games-TV

Target Audience:
 In the film industry the target audience starts at a range of normally 12 years old and up and there are many restrictions of what age group can watch what film. e.g. an 18 rated movie can only be viewed by those who are over the age of 18. 
Where.as in the games industry the target audience is said to be set to an age rateing but most 18 plus games are played by children that are under that age. Aswell as that in the TV indusrty there are no age restrictions on tv programmes and no actual way to stop any age from viewing them but in games and film it is more controlled.

Budget:
In the games industry the budget is high, definatly a few million pounds due to the development, labour, programming, and other addutional costs that is put into makeing just one game. where.as in the film industry the budget is tens of millions of pounds due to the special effects, the locations, paying the actors, and other costs. However in the tv indrusty the budget is suprisingly lower as there is less cost of special equpiment and special effects but this also depends on the tv show if it is a reality tv show like who wants to be a millionaire it would cost allot less than a tv programme like dr who this is mainly because of the use of special effects.

Time to make:
In the tv industry the episodes are either made weekly or monthly and are produced relatively quickly as they use not many special effects and sometimes none at all, but in the film industry it takes quite a long time to produce a film as they are normally filmed in foreighn locations and use months of work on special effects. where.as in the game industry it takes quite a long time to make a game because of all of the bug fixes, beta tests, actuall creation of the animation and definition of graphics and polygons withing the characters and enviroment, for example gta 5 has been in the process of being created for over a year and has only recently came out despite the high numbers of programmers and animators on the team which shows games take a longer time to make.
