Government grants:- This is where films are funded by the government. The government hope that 'creative individuals' are interested in moving into the area. The funded does not have to be repaid back the government. If the film is shot in a certain place it could help advertise the location.
Tax Schemes:-This where tax deductions are enhanced for film owners/makers and big companies that don. These people try to find the best tax deduction so that 't want to pay a lot of tax. They try to find the best tax schemes so they're tax free.
Debt Finance:- The producer of a film, sells the film in advance and use the money they have made to pay for the making of the film. The people who buy the films have to be certain that it will make a profit. Un-successful films would loose the buyers a lot of money.If a famous star is in the film or a well known producer is making the film it is a guarantee that the film would make money.
Equity Finance:- This type of finance is the less risky of the other ones. The person who buys apart in a film is guaranteed to get their money back even if the film 'flops'. Product placement in films makes a lot of money, this is because companies pay a lot of money to see their product in the film, for advertisement purposes. This happens in films such as James Bond where the product is the Aston Martin.Private equity is where film producer pitch their ideas to a private buyer such as the dragons on dragons den. These private investors will then earn a profit.

Funding/ Finance of TV
TV
TV channels such as the BBC(public service broadcaster) and Channel 4(part public/ part commercial) gain money through the licence fee. The licence fee is now £145.50 and £7.90 of this is given to the BBC from each person in the UK. The BBC gains money through merchandising, The licence Fee, syndication and competitions. The BBC does not advertise other products so this means The BBC won't earn money that way. ITV and Chanel 5 are commercial TV stations. They earn most of their money through advertisements, merchandising and sponsoring. As well as other channels they also syndicate programs, which earns them a lot of money. Channel 4 earns a small amount from the licence fee. They also advertise and syndicate. Sky and Virgin are subscriber broadcaster this means they do not earn money through the licence fee. The BBC does not worry about the number of viewers as they receive money from the public even if they do not watch the channel. The money that is earned goes towards making the program better, so that more money is earned. Their only concern is that their programs are worth watching. Channels such as ITV depend on competitions and phone ins to gain money.
Product placement is where TV channels are paid to put certain products in their programs, this is very similar to advertisements. More and more Channels use this to earn money.
Advertising on TV channels becomes more expensive when placed between featured films. Channels buy films so that the people who want advertise, have to pay more.
Syndication is where Channels sell their original programs to other channels for high prices. E4 is a well known channel that shows programs that were once owned by another channel.

My Opinion on Pixar
Pixar is one of my favourite film corperation. It produces family friendly films which apeal to all ages. It may have some issues when it comes to religion but it is rarely ever offencive. Pixar films are sold all over the world and make a lot of money. The co-operation between Disney and Pixar are much to be disired but over the years they have produced some great films.
