WEEK 6 LECTURE

I FOUND THIS LECTURE ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING.
ACTUALLY THAT'S A LIE - I FIND THEM ALL QUITE INTERESTING.

CONSUMPTION

PRODUCTION

BIG SCREEN

SMALL SCREEN

FAN FILM – biggest form of “produsage” we have today

TROOPS – consumers of star wars producing content in the star wars “universe” and re-laying it to the “same audience” [like-minded folk]

+ No money in it at the moment +

www.fanfilms.net

CINEMAbeing first means of moving image.

+ early cinema = news reels +

[shared experience]

PERSONAL MEDIA PLAYER [iPod] - tethered to old media

- ability to consume media “on-the-go”

+ ONE PROBLEM – Needs to be pre-loaded

TELEVISION – [shared, but also private]

+ televisions were hell expenno to purchase, so maybe one household in the street would have one and that would be the communal place to watch the news [shared]

+ able to be private if nobody was home.

MOBILE PHONES

[“smart phones”] – not just for calling.

“on-the-fly”

3G - information (yes)

-entertainment (yes)

and (no)

– ability to access what I want, when I want without needing to pre-load data

INFORMATION: websites, etc

ENTERTAINMENT: data transfer rates limit content

+ PROBLEMS +

. Gap in content availability

. Cost

. Can’t produce suitable content for 3G portals


LIMITS TO MOBILE DOWNLOADING:
- all entertainment today is at least half an hour in length > traditional length of entertainment.

MASH UPS

RE-GENRES [www.thetrailermash.com]

RE-CUTS

- about understanding a niche audience and creating content

PERSONAL COMPUTER – used to be private, now computers have moved from office to lounge rooms. [hence, private - shared]

+ Advent of the 2 way pipeline, able to consume media but also produce and share.

MOBILE MOVIES:

- main problem is sound quality [once you move about a metre from the phone, sound is limited and becomes static and crackly]

'CULTURE JAMMING'


CONVERGENCE THEORISTS SAY: TV AND COMPUTER WILL EVENTUALLY "INTERTWINE"

www.fanfilms.net : This site is a place to check out home made spoofs of almost any movie you can think of. One form of produsage.
this was the one he showed us in the lecture...
