Following the final media lecture, I decided that I would like to do some research on what comes under the umbrella of “Media”. To give me some ideas of what I’d like to work on in the studios in the future.

Print Media

Print media has been around a long time, originally predominantly in regards to Newspapers, magazines, books etc. But nowadays print media is now more widespread and accessible easily online.

Television Media

Television media is different to media like movies. It refers to not only television channels and shows, but now also the television media that’s streamed on the internet.

Movie Media 

Media in terms of films and motion picture technology are often studied as a separate subject all together due to how huge the category of cinematography is, and how much can be conveyed using the correct film techniques. Once again the services for viewing movies have been largely extended with the internet.

Video Game Media

Yes, Video games is regarded as a form of media. Gaming Consoles, as old as the original Atari are regarded as an interactive form of media. With the huge development in gaming graphics, stories and interaction over the course of the last 30 years, video games are likely to become a more respected and renown form of Media and Communications.

Media overall is a very broad term that is assigned information and ideas shared through a means of mass communication. eg the internet, television radio etc.

This makes media a great subject for me specifically, because in the future, my ideal career path will ideally surround communication, without being tied down to a specific topic or idea.
