Challenges Facing the Industry	The Australian film industry is characterised by the presence of a few, big players, and a very large number of smaller firms, in both production and post-production. The arrival of the major studios in Australia can be seen as a polarisation of the industry, which many in the Australian industry find disturbing. While the major studios produce a few, very well resourced international and local productions, there are many, small Australian firms and productions. Business for these smaller firms is intensely competitive; many of the smaller production firms survive on credit, gambling on the future financial success of the film they have under production.
Industry Competitive Problems	Problems: Large companies Monopoly,Small companies is difficult to survive. Solve: 1,effective sharing among firms of the costs of acquisition of new technology; 2,more effective allocation of tasks among firms according to their technological capabilities. 3,more efficient use of the pool of technology in Australia. 4,increased ability to smooth the peaks and troughs in workload.
Post production	Post production firms compete fiercely for work from overseas, and overseas producers make severe demands for use of the most up to date technology, and for rapid turn around of work. Post-production work for smaller local producers, on the other hand, is often undertaken by the post houses on very slim margins, partly to encourage promising local talent, and partly as an investment to secure further work from an individual or firm which post-production firms believe has the potential for growth. It is also recognised that a local production industry must be maintained, not least in order to provide the next generations of creative and technical talent which can add value to local and foreign productions.
