  Hello everyone,   In today’s blog, we will  further explore the area of practical digital media production. We will look at how media compression works and why it is important for the quality and delivery of your digital media artefact. I’m going to explain some concepts with the information I have gathered in the videos I have watched and some sites I have visited for more information about today’s blog.   Now, what is media compression? Well like file compression, the goal of media compression is to reduce file size and save disk space. However, media compressions algorithms are specific to certain types of media, such as image, audio, and video files. (Media Compression Definition, 2021)   What is video compression? Well, video compression is all videos are a combination of images and audio. Each individual image that makes up a video is called a frame. We usually have between 25 to 30 frames displayed in a single second of video. This is known as the...

 Hello everyone, Welcome to my new blog entry, today we will be discussing mechanical advancement just as its set of experiences in computerized media and how it has developed over the long run. We begin to see that as a mechanical age we begin to investigate the eventual fate of advanced media and what it would resemble just as the issues we should confront and the advantages that it can bring to us. The recordings that I observed will let us know how this became, further clarifications will be made as we read through this blog passage. It appears to be that in the primary video, it discusses how it was from the beginning of human innovations as it expresses that "10 million years prior, first apparatuses; people make the main devices from stone, wood, tusks and bones." (Technology Evolution | 100,000 BC - 2020. 2021. [video]) So this means toward the beginning of opportunity we people thought of our absolute first device to have the option to us for our endurance as we want...

  Hello everyone,   Today I will be talking about Media Ethics and how ethics play a huge role in how media functions within society. It is said that Ethics is a broad topic and can touch on many topics such as mental health, social inclusion, representation, sensitivity, balance, truth, and transparency. A good place to start considering ethics is to explore the UN sustainable development goals. The following 17 goals set out a roadmap for developing a more ethical and equal global society. They are not directly related to digital media, but they will give you a good idea of some of the issues of inequality that can affect our perspective on ethics. However, in my research, I have found a few sources that talks about today’s topic of discussion.   One video I have watched called “The Medium is the message” by Folding Ideas where they talk about how we know very little about the medium and still to this day quite so radical. 51 years of after understanding media w...

Hello everyone in today’s blog I will be talking about production process and how you can organise effectively as you get started on group projects. I this blog I will be discussing the different stages of the production process and different activities that take place in each stage.  There are several different production models used, depending on what kind of media you are creating, however, most media production processes can be loosely divided into 3 stages.  These are pre-production, production, and post-production, the traditional production process.  In some industries, such as filmmaking, these stages are highly defined, but in other digital media environments, these three stages can often overlap a bit. In some media design processes, you’ll apply a model with four, five, or more stages, but generally, these can still be broadly mapped onto some part of the traditional production process. The video that I have used as a reference that can hopefully help understan...

 In today’s blog I will be discussing why we study digital media and provide a proper introduction to the idea of digital literacy.  To which I have found a few videos in YouTube that will explain why digital literacy is extremely important.   The first video I watched was the TEDTALK with Doug Belshaw where he talks about the essential elements of digital literacy as well as the importance of digital literacy. He said that “It takes a lot of definition to decide what counts as being digitally illiterate or literate” I believe that’s what he meant; he also mentions about a quote from UNESCO taken from the 1950s saying “Literacy is a characteristic acquire by individual in varying degrees from just above more to an indeterminate upper level. Some others but it is really not possible to speak of illiterate and literate persons as two distinct categories.” To which this was true as before I did digital media, I had no clue that digital literacy existed and know how to defi...

  In today’s entry, I want to talk about the videos I have watched and how the information that I have learned can be used for my future reading.     My earlier experience with studying was not particularly good, let me tell you that I was merely lucky that I got on fine in high school. I would study at the last minute and or focus on one subject as I did not even know how to properly study and would try to find study tips on YouTube rather than study. That was until what I discovered in this research to which I will be separating into three separate paragraphs.     In my research, I came across a  YouTube  channel called Mike and Matty where Mike talks about the three best study tips with scientific evidence. In this, he will tell us how to study for exams, how to train your brain to learn effectively again with the help of science. He mentions that quizzing yourself, “ spacing  it out”...
