A Susan Maushart’s three teenage children are relaxing at home in Perth, Australia. Fifteen-year-old Bill is playing his saxophone. Fourteen-year-old Sussy and eighteen-year-old Anni are playing a board game in the same room. Ask the three of them how they prefer to spend their free time, and they will tell you that it is by doing things together. However, it has not always been like that.
B Six months earlier, the family spent their time in a very different way. Sussy and Anni constantly updated their social networking pages and chatted online to classmates and acquaintances. Bill shut himself off in his bedroom with his video games. Susan also disappeared with her laptop to write ‘crucial’ emails. They lived in the same house but spent their free time with their online friends instead of talking to each other. Susan was not happy about the situation, so she took a very unpopular decision. All the media technology in the house would be unplugged – for six months!
C At first, things didn’t go to plan. Sussy became addicted to the ‘old’ landline telephone to keep in contact with her friends. However, Bill soon adapted to the situation: he learnt how to play the saxophone and, eventually, sold his games computer. Anni sometimes needed to use a computer to do homework, so she used the computers at the local library. With time, the two sisters also began to appreciate the benefits of chatting with the family after meals and playing board games together. In addition, Sussy started doing much better at school.
D After six months, the experiment was over. Susan says that it is not realistic for people who live in the modern world not to use media technology. However, all the family agree that they will not let it take over their lives again.

Working for a hobby
A When sixteen-year-old Jamal Edwards received a video camera for Christmas, he did not realize that it was going to have such an amazing impact on his life. At first, Jamal looked around his neighbourhood for things to film and, one day, made a video of foxes in his garden in Acton, west London. Jamal uploaded his video of the foxes to the internet and was astonished to see that it had received 1,000 visits. He realized that he could combine his love of filming with his other great passion: grime music.
B Grime is a type of hip-hop music that started in London. It used to be impossible to find grime artists on TV, so Jamal started filming them. He filmed them performing in the street, in cars and at concerts, and he did what he had done with his video of the foxes: he uploaded them to the internet. At the time, there was a growing army of grime fans desperate to see and hear their favourite artists in action, so the videos became an instant success.
C When Jamal saw that thousands of people were watching and downloading his videos, he decided to create his own online TV station, SB.TV. At first, he just showed grime music videos, but he soon added live concerts and interviews with musicians, and he started using more sophisticated filming equipment. He also decided to increase the channel’s appeal by including a greater variety of videos and interviews with musicians who perform different types of music.
D Now, at the age of 22, Jamal employs twelve people and SB.TV is visited by millions of viewers. He also works with a national British TV channel and has just signed a deal with Sony to create a recording company. Not bad for a hobby that started with a Christmas present!

1 Companies needed permission to make Twilight jewellery and other products.
2 A good director costs more money than a famous actor.
3 Film studios only make money from ticket sales.
4 As soon as a film finishes at the cinema, you can see it on TV.
5 There are different opinions about what a great film is.
3 Read the text again and answer the questions. Use your own words and complete sentences.
1 What are the positive and negative points of having a famous actor in a film?
2 What extra things do famous actors expect while working on a film?
3 Why does the article mention the film Spider-Man 2?
4 How did films such as Toy Story 3, the Cars series and the Harry Potter series make a lot of money?
Cinema’s biggest star: money!
A What is the link between a lipstick, a calendar and jewellery? The answer is the Twilight films. These are just some of the products made by companies that paid film studios for the rights to use images from the film series. Film-making is very expensive, so studios look for as many ways as possible to make money. But what do studios spend their money on?
B If a film is going to succeed, it needs a good director, and they cost from $5 to $10 million per film. Casting famous actors as the main characters can also help a film to do well, but this makes a big hole in a film’s budget. Top actors expect salaries of up to $30 million, with extra money for ‘essential’ luxuries such as a five-star hotel suite during filming. Film production is also incredibly expensive. The special effects for the superhero film Spider-Man 2 cost an amazing $65 million!
C So how do film studios make a profit? In most cases, films make money from ticket sales at the box office. This is followed by DVD and internet sales, which are the only way of seeing the film outside the cinema for several months after its release. And the moment a film reaches the cinemas, the merchandising begins. In recent years, films such as Toy Story 3, the Cars series and the Harry Potter series have made more money from merchandising than from ticket sales.
D So while film fans talk about the quality of a film’s plot, the director’s skills or the actors’ performances, for the film-makers there are more important considerations. Has the film made enough money to repay the enormous investment that has gone into making it? Will it make a profit so the studio can go on to make more films? Without doubt, for the studios, a great film is a film that makes a lot of money.
