During our week 2 Media lectorial, we discussed the topic of mediated interactions/communications, which can be found virtually anywhere we look. Different forms of communication can include, posters, film, blogs, speech and writing.

In pre-modern society, the social world was predominantly experienced through face-to-face interactions (which can also be called one-to-one communication), whereas nowadays in modern society, there is the new form of one-to-many or many-to-many communication with interactions being mainly through media and texts such as books, newspapers, television and social media.

The media weaves in and out of our lives
 and, “their constant messages and pleasures seem to flow around and through us, and they immerse most of our waking lives” – Branston and Stafford. 


In groups, we were sent into different directions of the city and as my group wandered around the RMIT campus and its surroundings, we noticed many different mediums of media. Most of them being advertisements for companies, groups and events. These could be found from up as high as a thirty storey building, on the ground we stepped on to everything in between.
