Consumption and Production

This week's lecture was about consumption and production. Josh discussed that the media was best shared with the public through cinema as it is a public shared place with lots of people. Secondly there was the television, which is shared within the home or privately consumed. Thirdly there was the personal computer which is both private and shared. Josh also spoke about the small screen such as fixed media players, personal media platers and mobile phones. He then talked about how we are consuming more media then ever before not only through cinema, tv and computer but through mobile phones where you can receive news, sport etc. Although there is a large amount of consumption he went on to discuss production. People are producing media such as fan films and fan edits with extra content from dvds. Josh showed us some fan made trailers which were quite entertaining and smart, however they were originally consumed at first. Additionally we watched a short youtube clip of a film made entirely on a cell phone which I thought was touching. I've posted it below.
