Digital Ecosystem Model: Penta Helix Integration For Student Films

Digital transformation in the creative industry requires a systematic approach to optimize the distribution and commercialization of vocational high school students’ film works. This research aims to develop a digital ecosystem model for vocational high school students majoring in Broadcasting and Film through pentahelix collaboration integration. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research was conducted at two vocational high schools in Sukabumi, involving five key stakeholders: government, academia, business, community, and media. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with seven key informants, participatory observation over three months, and a documentary study. The research resulted in a “Digital Ecosystem for Vocational High School Film Students” model comprising three integrated components: Core Components (monetization, distribution, analytics, and collaboration systems), Implementation Phases (initiation, consolidation, and optimization), and Penta Helix Integration. This model offers a systematic framework for building a digital platform to support the distribution and commercialization of vocational high school students’ film works while serving as a reference for developing a creative industry ecosystem based on vocational education.
