Description

SEARCH ENGINE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT AND INTEGRATION OF DATA ASSOCIATED TO ENTERTAINMENT AND MEDIA

PERSONNEL

Technical Field of the Invention

[0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of data searching systems. More particularly the present invention relates to a search engine, system and method for a dynamic management and integration of data associated to entertainment and media personnel.

Background of the Invention

[0002] Typically, the process of actor making him or her available for work is currently complicated and expensive. First, the actor must pay a fee to a booking company or other similar agency to list the actor's characteristics in a hard-copy binder or other filing means. The actor's characteristics are catalogued so that a producer, casting director or director can easily access individuals for a particular background role who fit the desired characteristics. The background actor pays for the privilege of being in the catalogue. The producer, casting director or director then pays the same service of fee for each actor provided using the service. As a part of this fee, the agency makes sure that the actors have current guild memberships (if required) and that they do actually fit the description provided in the catalogue. But this process consumes a large amount of time and also depending on such type of agencies, may not assure the person regarding his/hers entry into the field of industry.

[0003] Further conventionally there exists a website were the profiles of multiple artists are stored in a database. The stored profiles can be accessed by any viewer such as producer, director, story writer, etc., by registering to the website. But this websites does not provide an end to end communication between producers and actors, directors and producers, story writers and producers and other cast and crew and producers and the like. These websites acts only for the registered actors whose profiles have been viewed by other users, where an each individual interested in entering the industry either a producer or director or actor or story writer and so on cannot expose their talents through these web sites. [0004] The conventional systems and methods do not provide an organized structure and methods for the entertainment and media industry, especially movie and television industry. These entertainment and media industries are majorly lacking a systemic approach towards film production, lack of platform to showcase talents of the entire eco-system, and also in providing a new platform for an entire eco system for encouraging new talent and other related limitations.

[0005] In the light of aforementioned discussion there exists a need for a system which can be configured and accessed as a web based application or a mobile based application which includes a dedicated search engine for assisting different end users related and non related personnel of the entertainment and media industry which would provide customized search results, thereby enabling the end users to interact though various communication means and acquire personalized end to end services in entertainment and media industry. There is also a need to integrate the above discussed system with the other platforms which are directly or indirectly related with to the entertainment and media industries for providing exhaustive services to the end users.
