Lecture Number 5

This blog update is rather late, but better late then never ay? This post is about the topic 'New Media' and talking about new, we had a new lecturer as well, Bill. I didnt really manage to get a great whole deal from this lecture as it pretty vague and broad, but what i did get from it was how film have changed over time. Due the way in which they are filmed, which is down to the camera angles. During the lecture Bill showed us a clip on youtube called 'Life of US firemen' watching this i can see how things have changed, as they appear to show the same clip twice, but from two different angles. Where as in more recent films they would switch between the two and show both advantage points one between the other, which refers to the topic 'New Media'.

Another in which new media is used is in art, during the lecture we was shown a dutch artist, that in his work, deconsrtucts trees until they are no longer recognisable as a standard tree. This shows the change and how its differed from previous. Overall i came away knowing that new media means how time have changed and improved, due to the amount of technology that is available nowa days, i also found out Bill's xbox gamer tag...
