Using Media

YouTube is an extremely popular website, well known worldwide. It gives easy and quick access to any videos of your choice. It also promotes anyones ideas and talent by allowing free accounts to expand their popularity. I use YouTube to search: music videos, find information on fixing problems, and for general entertainment. I also publish videos ( My YouTube Channel ), mainly to gain 'comments' to improve my performing skills. I also attempt editing these videos using iMovie. I change the lighting (brightness), colour (contrast, saturation), intro's, video quality, etc. This software is great help, and will help me in media in creating the 2min+ film intro.

Both websites are use for people to talk to each other. It enables social groups, and tracking long lost friends. I use it to talk to friends, and to seek latest news on sports, and music. These sites again allow free accounts, and quick and easy access. This aids their popularity proliferate. These sites allow businesses/organisations to provide regular updates to keep good customer satisfaction. 

All of these sites are used in big media organisations well, as it helps share new information occurring in their businesses. These businesses work together as they allow the public to share links from each sites. This again increases their readership, and the public interest. They do this eventhough they are in oligopoly to each other. 

Films

My favourite recent films, are the new James Bond 'Skyfall' and the first of a trilogy 'The Hobbit'. 

I have always been a huge fan of 007, and I believe this is the pinnacle all of the James Bond films. I understand, and enjoy the thrilling experience of knowing the life of a secret agent. But this film is unique, showing the deeper emotions which decodes to the audience in giving a greater understanding of his pressure and responsibilities. In addition 007's family and linking his past into the film really adds to the effect to the audience.

I have only recently seen the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, which spurred me onto watching 'The Hobbit'. I enjoy the adventure, the thrill, and the comedy imposed in the film. Peter Jackson ensures excellence in combining the traits from the Lord Of The Rings, which aids their development of the characters' personalities. This helps the audience greater their knowledge about the 'Middle Earth'.
