SAM: These subsidiaries do in fact produce their own
media. National Geographic are famous for their documentaries that give a deep
and impactful insight into life from around the world. “Explorer”, the company’s
award-winning and longest-running show has provided some of the most iconic
scenes in documentary history like when a chimpanzee tenderly reached out for renowned
primatologist Jane Goodall. National Geographic specialise in three main types
of Media; they are Photography, TV, magazines and books since they were formed
127 years ago in 1888. The main target audience of National Geographic is adults
but over the past couple of years they have opened their eyes to the younger
audience by making shows such as “Science of Stupid”, which is where Top Gear
presenter Richard Hammond takes a look at all the ludicrous clips of people
falling, driving or just being darn right stupid from the Internet and depicts
the sciency side of them. (Insert clip
of waterslide guy) For example, this man will travel down this waterslide
at 22.7 mph. The ramp is 150.62m long so the little paddling pool has to be X
distance away from the end of the ramp. Unfortunately no-one will be able to
work out the exact distance the man travelled as this video is in fact fake and
is actually an ad for Microsoft Germany believe it or not.
SAM: One more subsidiary of 20th Century Fox I’ll
be talking about is Blue Sky Studios. (Wheezing
guy). Blue Sky Studios was founded in 1987 by a guy named Chris Wedge (Wheezing guy). I wouldn’t be laughing
if I were you, he's won Academy Awards for his films . He’s also
produced shorts such as No Time for Nuts (Shorter
clip of Wheezing guy), films like Rio, Rio 2, the Ice Age Saga
and is currently producing the Ice Age movie, Collision Course, set to be released in
2016. Aside from Films, Blue Sky Studios also produce TV Specials (1 off shows) for their films. Their best
known shorts include Bunny and Gone Nutty, both were nominated for the Best Animated Short at the Academy Awards.
Blue Sky Studios have collaborated on film projects. For example Rio and Rio 2 were made and produced with 20th Century Fox. The
Films and TV Shows are generally aimed at a younger audience as Blue Sky Studios specialise in movies for kids.
