Specific Objective
-           It will generate incomes to the government
-           Create jobs,
-           Bring investors to the state
-       These employees will pay tax to the government
                       
Creating wealth and income
1.   Entertainment (tourism) is the world’s largest industry and creator of jobs a cross natural and regional economies ,from our research show that in 2015, entertainment tourism will generate, directly and indirectly, 12.7% of GDP and nearly 5 million jobs in the state-wide economy. These figures are forecasted to total 12.7% and 8 millions Ebonyians respectively in 2015.
2.   Jobs generated by entertainment tourism are spread across the economy in retail, contraction, manufacturing and telecommunication as well as directly in music and movie tourism companies. These jobs employ a large proportion of men and women minorities and young people; are predominantly in small and medium sized companies, and offer good training and transferability. Entertainment tourism can also be one of the most effective drivers for the development of state economy these patterns apply to both developed and emerging economics. Contribution to  sustainable development
3.   The 1980s Ebonyi State has been economically sustain under the mineral resource of cool and min from Enugu, the RID earth summit, identified entertainment tourism as one the sectors of the economy which could make positive contributions to achieving sustainable development in Ebonyi state as non-oil producing state earth summit lead to the adoption of agenda 21 a comprehensive programme of action adopted by the federal government for Ebonyi to provide a blue print for achieving sustainable development in entertainment tourism. School of entertainment, is  the  first industry sector to have launched an industry-specific action plan based on agenda 21.
4.   Entertainment tourism is able to contribute to development which is economically, ecologically and socially sustainable because it
·     Has less impact on natural researches and the environment than most other industries.
·     Is based on creativity of information and appreciation of local culture that built heritage and natural environment, as such that the industry has a direct and powerful motivation to protect these assets.
·     Can play a positive part in increasing consumer commitment to sustainable development principles through its unparallel consumer distribution channels and
·     Provides an economic incentive to conserve natural environment and habitats which might otherwise be allocated to more environmentally damaging land uses, thereby, helping to maintain bio-diversity.
·     Providing infrastructure
5.      To a greater degree   the entertainment tourism depends on a wide range of infrastructure services, air navigation (RD/TV station) roads, film making, journalism and recreation facilities (e.g telecommunications and utility.
6.      It is the combination of entertainment school, portable transmission authorities, and good infrastructure that underpins the economic, environment and social benefits it is important  to balance any decision to develop an area for tourism against need to preserve fragile or threatened environments and cultures. However, once a decision has been taken where an area is appropriate for new tourism development or that an existing tourist site should be developed further, then good infrastructure will be essential to sustain the quality, economic viability and growth of entertainment school. Good infrastructures will also be a key factor in the industry’s ability to manage visitor flows in ways that do not affect the natural or built heritages nor counteract against local interest.


Challenge for the future  
         Entertainment tourism creates jobs and wealth and has tremendous potential to contribute to economically, environmentally and socially sustainable development in both developed countries and emerging state like Ebonyi State. It has a comparative advantage in that its start up and running costs can be low compared to many other forms of industry development. It is also often one of the few realistic options for development in many areas. Therefore, there is a strong likelihood that the entertainment industry will continue grow globally over the short to medium term.
9.      Of course, if entertainment is managed badly, it can have a detrimental effect it can damaged fragile environment and destroy local cultures. The challenge is to manage the future growth of the industry so as to minimize its negative impacts on the environment and host communities whilst maximizing the benefit it brings in terms of jobs, wealth and support for local culture and industry, and protection of the built and nature environment.

10.    Partnerships and agents for change
         The public sectors, particularly national and local government, have an important role to play by setting the agenda and providing the framework in which action should take place. The regulatory environment also plays an important role in creating the conditions suitable for sustainable entertainment tourism self-regulation involving the agreement and co-operation of industry is always likely to be the most effective solution, therefore, the role of trade associations and industry organizations in distributing information among their members and encouraging participation is essential
·  The major partnerships to be formed are between.
·  Industry and the public sector- to ensure consistency within the framework
·  Industry and the voluntary sector-to tap into the enormous resources on expertise and good will that, this sector is able to generate and
·  Industry and the public both consumers themselves and the people who live in the places they visit to develop more sustainable forms of entertainment tourism.

Areas for further action        
3.      The industry will do much to improve its performance in terms of sustainable development the challenge for the new millennium is to move from the existing ad-hoc approach to a more systematic one. To do this will involve a partnership between industry and local government to deliver the following
i.       Governments
·Integration of trainees policy into broader government policies, especially the environment.
·Incentives for the trainees and entertainment tourism industry, backed up where necessary by effective regulation.

ii.      public/private partnership    
·   Infrastructure planed and developed with long-term and within a reference framework based on agenda 21,
·   Investors and consumers impact assessment tools to enable effective local government management and appropriate development.


iii.     Inter-state bodies  
·Co-ordination at an inter-state level of co-operation action undertaken by all sectors on the entertainment school place sustainable development
·Review of existing voluntary initiatives to improve the quality of reporting, their transparency and credibility, and the assessment of their contribution to sustainability..
iv.     Companies
·   Commitment to place sustainable development issues at the core of the management structure,
·   Innovation of process and application through new technology,
·   Commitment to training and technical training of staff.

(c)    Influencing consumer behaviour to promote entertainment village
Problems
3i.     At the 1998 world tourism market, Wim hosted, as a part of its entertainment awareness day a seminar entitled “does the entrainment grow? At this event, Mori presented the latest  findings from their business and the environment survey an annual uk survey devoted to public attitudes to the entertainment. The survey is now in its tenth year and illustrates the challenges facing the entertainment industry in influencing consumer behavior to promote sustainable entertainment.
3.      There is down ward trend in the public willingness to pay extra for entertainment mostly movie/ music protection and consumption, awareness to companions making film commitments is only margin up. Therefore, the challenge is to persuade the quality production that is in their interest to adopt and promote a sustainable approach in their activities and purchasing decisions. Education programs and the development and widespread acceptances of code of conduct are useful tools in achieve this step once this message has been conveyed, it is the important to back this up with the necessary information to enable consumers to make informed choice. It is here that ecotourism and movies programs have value
Solutions
Tourism programs
3.      The formation for tourism education in Ebonyi (FTEE) seeks to promote music/movies, journalism by carrying out campaign and improving awareness of importance of entertainment tourism. It is composed of a network of national tourism organizations. In which the entertainment village will attract the headquarters in Ebonyi State.
“Package like Ebonyi Globe” is based on a advertisement character, who features in 65 entertainment tourism strategies, inducing travels and tourism the videos are aimed at music/movie production to create fun, whilst conveying important messages about sustainable entertainment tourism. The aim is to have these videos shown on in-flight and in-room television channels to raise awareness and influence consumer behaviour the essential criteria in three separate areas:
-           quality production
-           expertise management and safety and tourism information and education program codes of conduct.
3.      code of conduct are also used to try and influence both consumer and management behaviour, for example, “guideline for responsible entertainment tourism this codes can be prepared and distributed by government on Ebonyi state to satisfy a number of essentials quality production and behaviour among the categories on participants.
4.      The Ebonyi entertainment tourism, association is an association which promote the Ebonyi tourism destination products and services EETA is also serve  as a central resource of information research, travel industry education and training which create jobs opportunity to host tourist in Ebonyi state.
Music/movie department
The essential criteria in enrolling trainee is as follows
Waec (west African examination council)
5 credits, includes credit in English
Agents and partnerships for change
·   Ngos to raise awareness of music/movies issues in their work and activities and provide feedback to the industry;
·   Entertainment tourism to communicate their needs and requirements,
·   Local authorities (LGAs) to engage local people through the inclusion of entertainment tourism issues in local trade associations, labour representative organizations and training provides to increase awareness and training on staff in entertainment and social issues.

To Regulations      
Whose responsibility is to ensure that trainees are protected through the creation of competition in the school the reluctance by trainee to change reform properly frustrates the introduction of competition by the trainee.
·          Music and movie required journalist to raise the profile of reporting entertainment and social impact of music ,movie  (entertainment village) among consumer and tourism business, and
·         The internet as a source of information for potential tourist.
Areas for further action        
2.      The management /trainee data shows the scale of the task still remaining. The industry will develop a number of initiatives to influence trainees behaviour, however trainees do not understand or are not aware of the issues invoked and do not demand more sustainable programs than, in the long term, it will not be the industry’s interests to move in that direction. The priority future action therefore, should be to raise awareness among trainees of the issues associated with entertainment tourism and the impact their activities can have on local destination and cultures, promoting entertainment industry sustainable development through music/movie production while safeguarding the integrity of local government cultures and protection.
Problems       
3.      The music/movie industry has a rested interest in protecting the consumers and cultural resources that are the core of its business music/movie has less impacts on cost of production and the entertainment tourism than other sectors and it has already done much, to address the issues arising from its activities.
There are example, however, from around the country where the impact of music/movie has been damaging to the local entertainment and people. Some of the factors which contributes to the harmful impact of entertainment truism are:
·        A lack of awareness on the part of those coming up artiste, about music/movie as a tourism development of the social, economic and environment balance to be pursued in achieving sustainable development.
·        A lack of commitment by government and tourism operators to contribute to the maintenance of the local environment and culture of the host destination.
·        A weak institutional framework with inadequate controls can lead fall of to music/movie development which is both in appropriate and intrusive.
·        Unfairly traded music/movie, whereby local communities are unable to shave its benefits,
Solutions               
In order for entertainment to realize its potential to achieve broad based sustainable development in effective partnership between government and all sectors of the industry will be required.

The following illustrates what is being done  by the   
State governments
The Ebonyi state government is pump priming local equipment activities, which are primarily driven local people. The government is to kick starting entertainment village development for entertainment tourism lodges in the rural region invoking the whole communities, in Ebonyi State, this strategy is closely integrated with the goals of the industry.

SOUND RECORDING AND ENGINEERING ARTS OFFER EIGHT CAREER STREAMS, FOR UNDERGRADUATES AND UPWARDS.

                   Entertainment is the magic of enchanting music; spectacular visuals both when used intelligently can lure audiences to cinema halls, television screens or even radio stations. Sound is the very soul of the audio-visual medium. It has been given a great deal of importance in the past and will remain an important element for all time to come. Sound in entertainment is a universe in its own self, starting from dialogues to sound effects, songs, music and background scores. One can spend a lifetime and still stand at the shore of the vast ocean of the sound and music recoding industry.
                   The advent of talkie films created a big revolution in the history of entertainment. But even during the silent era. Film makers made arrangements for live orchestra at cinema houses and auditoriums that synchronized their composition and scores with the dram and the theme /pace of the visuals on the screen. Sound help of visuals. The radio and music industry are the biggest which can entertain its patrons without the help of visuals and are enough to enthrall its audience into raptures.
                   Nigeria is known to be the biggest producer of motion pictures in the world. The biggest USP of Nigeria films that sets it apart from world cinema is the inclusion of song and dance sequences in them. Despite a weak content several films have done stupendous business, solely on the strength of its music. Music sale is a major avenue of income for film producers and the sale of Audio rights is a major revenue earner. The audio companies also actively participate in the promotional and marketing strategies of these films.
                   Globally, the entertainment industry is growing by leaps and bounds and is no exception to it. Besides films, the television scene is cluttered with a plethora of channels. Gone are the days when we had to suffice with one national channel. Now we have a host of private channels at our disposal. Just with a flick of the remote. Specialization is the rule of the day, and we see the emergence of niche channels catering to specific needs, but one common element that is omnipresent in all is sound. In fact, the nuclear families of today keep the TV sets on for hours so that its sound keeps young children company, and the housewives can go about doing their daily chores.
                   Since the advert of FM channels, more and more people are now listening and enjoying the radio. movie  and music is the best and the cheapest available means of entertainment for the common man. from rich to the poorest of the poor everybody can be seen hooked on to some movie and music on TV as they cannot resist the temptation of listening, watching  movie or what is on air. Stage shows and live outdoor events are now held on a very large scale which are attended by people in large numbers to feed so many breaches of this growing entertainment industry. Expert personnel are needed to handle the audio. This is taken care by the person called the sound engineer or recording engineer, more commonly known as the sound recordist. This person is responsible to provide clear sound by this engineering to the audience.
                   The huge demand for the technically expert personnel in the filed of sound has made this professional very lucrative. A good sound engineer can earn from a low of #20.000/ to over . 30 per month. All the big names in the field are presently earning between #1.5 to 2.5 mil a month. Even the new entreats and the trainees can expect to earn about 7,000/ to 10,000/ p.m in the beginning which can touch 20,000 to 25,000/ per month within a period of 2 to 3 month depending upon the person’s of 2 to 3 month dedication, hard work, ability to grasp the intricacies of the subject and the creative acumen. The success also depends upon the personal motivation technical knowledge and understanding the aesthetics of sound. It is not a natural gift, but it can be developed provided the person keeps his ears open and starts analyzing natural sounds around him. The people who have a true passion for sound and music become great sound engineers in due course of time.
                   According to his aptitude or liking, a person can mould or fit himself in various branches of sound recording and engineering.
   
                   NEW TECHNOLOGY COLLEGES IN THE CITY
                   Technology college, will attract over 24 state and having 20 courses across the college now opens its campus in EBBC, Ebonyi new technology college offers internationally certified diploma and degree courses in media technology as well as dual diplomas in Audio engineering-digital film making offers an upgrade to further studies as degree, post graduate, and doctoral in these three disciplines.

Founder of Soda faces Academy is the guest lecturer at Soda faces Academy, the film school 1s to conduct a small workshop for the students of the academy and give them tips on direction, spicing them up with lectures own life experiences and anecdote.
                   He shall specifically speak about his first directorial venture into film industry and the hurdles he faced as the first-time director and founder. He should add that an actor lives only one life in a film, while director’s personality is added to the film as two directors working on the same stories would yet treat it differently.
                   The other interesting tip is that students are to observe and depict on screen, what they see around them.
                   Film making is a social responsibility and the medium has the power to mould public opinion, mores and ethos, and that the directors should not misuse this power. First films are usually great because pent up emotions find their way in them but the real challenge comes in the second film, when the same commitment and vigor has to be maintained.
                   I think that directors who disconnect with the  present fade away. He’s kept up with the times and enjoyed every moment of it, which has made him equally proficient in the world of television. With an open mind, he could easily transit from the wide vistas of the big screen to the world of close-ups, i.e. the television.
