Part B - Ideas

WWW• Research into topic• Ideas for episodes• Included a recent articleEBI• More images• More research• Episode ideas better thought out

Strongest idea society depending on technology as it would be easy to gain statistics and opinions on this subject because the increasing use of technology is a contemporary issue. This idea was also good as it relates to the concept of postmodernism.

MEDIA CLASS AND SOCIETY.

Part C - Idea taking forward

Part C - Idea taking forward

We’ve spoken to our teacher about the whole combination of topics, however as we thought, it was a bit too much topic in one.

So we decided to focus on one topic to go on further which was The Technology Dependence.

Developed Idea – The evolution of technology

Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3

•The evolution of computers

•Development of games

•The evolution of phones

The Story of film: An Odyssey

Try to recreate the shots in their way

- Compares with other text and explains with examples- Text to know where its from

Part D - Documentary inspirations

Inspirational Documentaries

Large Hadron Collider – The six billion dollar experiment

Included clips relating to the film at the beginning (exposition)

Jamie’s American Food Revolution

Hunting Britain's Most Wanted

Exposition and props

Used simple titles

Part D - Documentary inspirations

Film documentary - Secret Life of Chaos What inspired me was the use of “montage” in the documentary.

For example – these two screenshots – as the narration was going – there was a montage over it – showing from the light changing to the sea – and it was in synched with the narration.

Showing a quick ideational montage, whilst the presenter is narrating the purpose of the documentary at the start. This little animation at the first minute of the documentary was my favourite, as it symbolises our mind.

In the “Slanguage” documentary last year they used graphs and charts to show statistics and trends which is something that could be useful in our documentary.

The voice of God narration in March of the Penguins was very effective and is something that might/could be used in our documentary.

Part E - Research

Good Effects:• Following instructions• Problem solving and logic • Hand-eye coordination, fine motor and spatial skills.• Resource management and logistics. • Multitasking, simultaneous tracking of many shifting

variables and managing multiple objectives.• Perseverance• Pattern recognition• Estimating skills• Inductive reasoning and hypothesis testing • Mapping • Memory• Reasoned judgments• Teamwork and cooperation when played with others• Simulation, real world skills.

Bad Effects:• Violence – bad language and behaviour• Socially isolated• Not exercise imagination• Confuse reality with fantasy• Bad academic achievement• Bad effect on health e.g. obesity, seizures, Muscular

and skeletal disorder, RSI• Addictive – depression and anxiety

Part E - Research Evolution of Phones

1983 – 1st Generation – First introduced by the Motorola Company. Used analog technology, and sized of a large briefcase.

1990 – 2nd Generation - was faster and quieter than 1G. Smaller than the large briefcase-sized. Smaller batteries are more energy-efficient.

2009 - 3rd Generation - may be like 2G, but it is able to transfer other types of data, including emails, information and instant messages.

2010 - 4th Generation - Includes a combination of technologies that will make information transfer and internet capabilities faster.

Part E - Research• Evolution of Computers.

Computer, originally meant a person capable of performing numerical calculations with the help of a mechanical computing device.

Binary arithmetic is at the core of computer systems.

This is a Binary Code.

Part E - Research• First generation

computers - 1950s all computers that were used were vacuum tube based. Computers were expensive and bulky. Could solve just one problem at a time.

VACUUM TUBE -

2nd Generation -1960s, transistor based computers replaced 1G. Transistors made computers smaller and cheaper. They made computers energy efficient.

EXAMPLES OF TRANSISTORS

3rd generation - Their use increased the speed and efficiency of computers.

Fourth generation computers. Even faster – capable of more calculations per second.Much more computer power and speed than other generations

The fifth generation computers are in their development phase.

Has support voice recognition and understand natural language.

The evolution of computers will continue, perhaps till the day their processing powers equal human intelligence.

Risks of TechnologyThe advance of technology has brought a lot of different ways to do things, like online shopping and availability of the internet on mobile phones. However it has also brought risks and dangers as well.

Credit card fraud: its now possible for people to use the internet (or other forms of technology) to hack into someone else's accounts because people use the credit/debit cards to shop online nowadays.

Chat rooms

According to this article people are unaware of what legal harm they are doing by posting certain tweets on twitter. E.g.- in the summer when many young people posted details about the riots and twitter users that went against court orders and posted the identities of celebrities that got injunctions to protect their private lives.

Social networking sites mean that a lot of your information is being put all over the internet and this can be dangerous because you don't always know who is viewing your webpages.

Video games have their dangers as well:This article tells us about a boy who developed a blood clot in his leg after spending an entire day playing video games.

This article informs us about a boy who shot his parents because they took his video game away and banned him from playing it.

• Private information being shared and exposed e.g. addresses and phone numbers• Scams, viruses and spam. – Easier to spot potential victims• Cyber bullying• Security breaches and hacking.• Negative influences e.g. Grand Theft Auto games leading to violence.• Anti social society• Machines replacing people e.g. self scanners in supermarkets• Hard to trace criminal activity i.e. August riots spreading blamed on Blackberry

Messenger and Twitter
