What significance does the continuing development of digital media technology have for media institutions and audiences?
The continuing development of digital media technology has a very large impact on media institutions and audiences. One of the reasons it is significant for media institutions is that it makes marketing their product much easier. With the rise of social media and overall increased use of technology, a film company would have no problem making the majority of our country aware of the impending release of their film. The developement of technologies like 3D/4D and HD has also had an impact. These technologies make viewing a film at a theatre a much more in-depth and immersive experience for audiences, which gives people a good reason to go out to view a film instead of waiting for it to release for at-home viewing. This also makes it a lot more difficult for smaller film companies to compete at theatres, because they often don't have the funds required to give their audience the same quality experience that films with a bigger budget can. On the flip side, the continued developement of online viewing and at-home streaming services like Netflix and Hulu has given audiences a better reason than ever to stay home to view films. It is much cheaper, more convenient, and an overall more comfortable viewing experience than what is provided at theatres. The also impacts the producers of these films because the increased ease of watching films has in-turn increased the amount of stuff people watch.

I have had many experiences of media consumption with video games, and the majority of them accurately reflect wider patterns and trends in audience behaviour. One of the ways I experience media consumption with video games is the device I use to access and play the games. The exact model or brand I use is irrelevant here, but what is relevant is the price of these devices. As technology continues to develope and companies begin to use these newer technologies, it costs more and more to make these devices. Which in turn, makes them more and more expensive for their players/audience to buy. The high prices of the new generation of gaming consoles is the reason I personally won't be buying any of them any time soon. The same applies to all the other people who don't want to, or can't, spend so much on any of the newer devices
I integrated technologies in this project by designing and editing it entirely online. In terms of software, I used the websites like Photopea and Canva to design and construct the entire magazine. I also used the internet to research other magazines for inspiration on how I could design my own. The way I integrated hardware in this project is mostly very simple and self-explanatory. I integrated hardware by using my computer and all the things the go with it, like a mouse and keyboard to design this project.
1-Setting: Setting is an essential element to Mise en Scene because for one, it is everything the audience sees that has to do with the time and place of a film aside from the costumes. Setting can also help depict the personality and other traits of characters from the film based upon what setting is associated with a certain character.
2-Decor: Decor is an essential element to Mise en Scene because it can help express the feeling that the film is intended to give off. Decor can also be used to help express the feelings and personality of certain chararcters. 3-Lighting: Lighting is an essential element to Mise en Scene because it can help create the mood that the film is intended to give off. Certain kinds of lighting are also only suitable for certain movie genres and scenes. If a horror movie had very bright lighting, it wouldn't create the right feeling and would take away from the feeling that genres is supposed to give its audience. 4-Depth Of Space: Depth of space is an essential element to Mise en Scene because it can be used to keep the viewers eyes focused where ever they want them to be. A good example of a use for this is in horror movies. While the viewers eyes are trained on the people talking on screen, something mysterious darts past the screen in the background. Nobody was really paying attention to that thing, but everybody watching still notices it, which creates a sense of eerieness. 5-Costumes and Makeup: Costumes and makeup are an essential element to Mise en Scene because they can help paint the picture of what a character is like. If a character was wearing very vibrant and lively colors, it would give off the feeling that they are a very happy and optimistic character This is my revised magazine cover. I changed the masthead, cover image, fonts, and the overall style of the magazine. The original cover appear messy from the different fonts and colors, so in my revision I changed those components. The fonts and colors now fit the simplistic look i was originally going for. This is my original magazine cover, the fonts, color and style did not match the overall look I was going for. The colors of the text did not match each other or the cover image.
My production skills have developed throughout this project in all ways. Before this project, I had some experience and practice with production, but it was very minimal. For the most part, I understood what effect the changes I made would have on my project's appearance, but no understanding of how they affected how people would view my project. Although, my production skills still did increase dramatically in both manners. Now I know how different things can be utilized to help grab peoples' attention better and keep them reading, which I had near no understanding of beforehand.
