Here are a few interesting ideas/tips/thoughts I have procured during the research I have been conducting for our Mi1 Project: 1. A new trend in television set design is moving away from physical sets to digital. Shows from entertainment to news and sports are using computer graphic backgrounds...There are two major drawbacks to virtual sets. The first drawback is that they have a tendency to look...
Quit your whining!
The March 30th release of the Federal Government's Final Report from the Convergence Review has ruffled not just a few feathers amongst the media moguls but I'd have to say the entire plume. From The Australian to The Herald Sun, commentators around the country have contributed their two cents worth focusing mainly on the negative effects...Australian Films To Look Out For In 2014
2014 was recently described by Inside Film as shaping up to be "one of the strongest years for Australian films." In anticipation of this, and considering my lack of posts recently, I thought I would provide you all with a few more reasons as to why this claim is valid made with summaries of the films mentioned and their accompanying trailers....
Why the Australian government won't win the war on online piracy and copyright infringement.
Recent reports came out today speculating on the impact that Attorney General George Brandis' latest anti-piracy proposal will have on the Australian public who were recently deemed by Mumbrella to be "at the top of the world piracy ladder." Here are my reasons why the proposal, and subsequent proposals to fight those who elicit online piracy, will fail.

Our new direction
Thursday's class this week was exceptionally helpful in determining the final direction we wanted to take with our research project as we all got to discuss the various problems and issues we had come across during our initial research. For some, the pressing issue was to do with research strategies to discover the correct data and information needed to finalize that project's topic. For me, I presented...

Straight from the horse's mouth...
It was so interesting to hear the opinion of a traditional television producer on the future of televisual distribution and it was comforting to hear about his reasons for choosing traditional methods for televisual production and broadca...
Internet vs. The Tv
Such a great idea! One we will definitely consider for our project. And the reasons the people interviewed provide are so relevant....
Is the internet an advertising channel or a communication channel?
If nothing else, this video posed some really good questions for us to consider during this proje...
How will you watch TV?
Another exciting video piece from the guys at Pulse TV (ironically, an online publication) looking into the technical differences between how we are going to be watching the ol' telebox in the coming years compared to now.WATCH IT HE...
Media Watch - The Future of TV
A fascinating Media Watch documentary on Channel 9's response to the very question I am looking into for our research project.WATCH IT HE...
The Webby Awards
Again diving into this whole notion of a hidden online video industry, I was surprised yet again to discover that there was an international awards competition purely dedicated to online video production. The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet. Established in 1996 during the Web's infancy, the Webbys are presented by The International Academy of Digital...
Interactivity and temperature defined media.
This is a really interesting excerpt from Nicholas Gane and David Beer's publication titled "New Media" which explores the impact new media has on interactivity. In light of the recent lectures we have had about what defines interactivity from participation, I thought it was a relative topic of conversation:NB: (The "cool"...
More News, Less Diversity
This article was an interesting find as it proposed the idea that despite the internet's best efforts to promote diversity of opinion and alternative points of view, the online media world is actually more monopolized than the offline world. Hindman and Cukier's point is that "Users may be able to choose from millions of sites, but most go to only a few. This isn't an accident or the result of savvy-branding....
The Future of Media - Robert McChesney
The online universe, in contrast, taking the set-asides and signposts that demarcate the nonprofit sector in the real world, seems scarcely to distinguish between non-profit and noncommercial. The two main entry points for web-based travels, portals such as aol and the Microsoft network, and such search sites as google and...
Online Production Companies
Getting into this project, I really could not think off the top of my head, any major online video companies that were having a major impact on the TV industry. So I decided to do a bit of scooting around and surprisingly, came up with these which apparently are major players in the online video industry. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Cornerstone...
