How is the film industry influenced by the wider creative media sector?
The film industry is influenced by many different media sectors, for example the games industry. Once a game has gained a big enough fanbase, and enough money (so usually AAA games) they can grow to different forms of media, one of these being film. Many games are recreated as a film or involve spin off stories that work around those of the game. For example, Tomb Raider's Lara Croft films, Silent hill and, the soon to be released, Warcraft film.
Another media sector that influences the film industry is the that of books. A large amount of plots are based upon popular book titles, which tend to result in successful films as its appeals to a wide audience. This is because fans of the books are likely to watch the film to see how the story is portrayed in a visual format, and also people who have wanted to read the book but haven't, for reasons including lack of time for example, have the chance to see the story in this way, rather than taking the time to read it.
