Australia's Audiovisual Markets: Updated 2005

Australia's Audiovisual Markets is one of a series of print publications that feature key data from Get the Picture Online. Designed to complement the detailed data available online, its graphic style and short summaries provide snapshots of the state of the industry and long-tern trends.

Published in 2005, this volume contains data from the 'What Australians Are Watching' section of Get the Picture Online. It summarises key information on Australia's cinema, video, television and interactive media markets, ranging from industry structure and major players to box office results, DVD sales, top films and programs, viewing patterns, Internet use and audience demographics.

There are analytical articles from industry commentators Sandy George, Garry Maddox and Bob Peters, as well as 'Eye on the Future' sections which foreshadow the impact of new technologies and services such as digital distribution and exhibition, video-on-demand, personal video recorders and file-sharing networks.

A second volume in the series, Audiovisual Production in Australia, is also available.
