My Media World

Answer the Question: What Media do I use? How does it affect me and the world I live in? 

• I have an iPhone 3gs which I mostly use for texting, calling, using the internet and listening to music. If I upgraded I think that I would get the new Blackberry Bold as all of my friends have Blackberry and the use blackberry messenger (bbm) to chat to their friends for free so if I were to get a blackberry I would also be able to use bbm for free.
• To keep in touch with my friends I use facebook and twitter. I talk to my friends through facebook by either writing on their walls or sending them a message. Facebook is also a great way to see what everyone is up to and it lets you share your pictures with your friends. I use twitter to get updated on the news and to also find out what is happening with celebrities. I am not concerned about the privacy issues as I know that on facebook only my friends can see my profile.

                                                 

• Music is very important in my life and I tend to listen to music on either my iPhone or my laptop. I also sometimes watch music channels on the TV. I pay for music through iTunes as it guarantees you a good quality song and is also easy.
• If I want to see a film, I tend to watch the trailers online on youtube, or if I see a trailer on the TV that interests me, I will look up the film on the internet. I book cinema tickets online as it is quick and easy and it guarantees you a seat. You also don'y have to wait in the queue at the cinema to buy the tickets.
• I have an Apple Macbook which I use mostly for the internet and to do my work. I use the internet for 2 -3 hours a day for either my work, or for the social networks. I also use the internet for shopping. My family uses the internet for mostly work and also for shopping online as it is quick and easy. I experience various problems with the internet such as finding it difficult to connect to the wireless sometimes and also having a slow connection. 
• I would go online to read news if I have heard people talking about something that happened. I rarely buy newspapers but I read them if my dad has bought them. 
• On TV I tend to watch programs such as Gossip Girl, 90210 or Friends. I also like to watch sporting events and MasterChef. If I want to watch something that I have missed I either watch it on the TV if it is being repeated or watch it on the internet. 

After Effects Video

Our Media department recently bought the Adobe After Affects software for the computers. We had a lesson on how to use the After Affects and on how to make an ident for a movie. We worked through the After Affects and made an ident for our thriller movie. It was really interesting learning how to use the Adobe Software and was exciting making the ident.
