Week Six Lecture Review

This week Josh looked at Consumption vs Production in media and how we are involved in these sides. I took some fairly conclusive notes this time around, so here they are:

Consume:

Big Screen

Cinema (shared)

Originally showed news broadcasts

Chose a movie, stuck to that film (one-way)

Television (shared moving to private)

Remote, different channels (one-way)

Personal Computer (private moving to shared)

Almost unlimited range of choice

Can now output media

Small Screen

Personal Media Player eg, iPod (on-the-go entertainment)

Mobile Phones “Smart Phones” (on-the-fly entertainment)

Information

Large gap between possibility in entertainment and reality

Produce:

Fan Film

Consumers producing media

Webisodic Dramas

Microstories

Mash Ups, Re-Genre, Re-Cut

Again, consumers producing media
