[1]

I believe that this video deserves to be the top video production as it explores the main issues of the internet. Also, it consists of a balance between the imagery and text, attracting the audiences' attention and forcing their focus to the interest of the video.

[2]

I think that this video deserves to be in second place as it possess a very different and individual style. The video without being fully realised aesthetically still grabs the viewer's attention through the unique technique used to create it. The video is very distinguishable and expresses a depth of knowledge for the viewers.

[3]

This video effectively engages it's viewers through the complimenting sound track as well as the thorough information clearly expressed through imagery and text. The video also intertwined a comical tone which also successfully got hold of the viewer's attention.

Although this video was not so informative, it gave an in view of the 'dark side' of the internet and how real people are affected by it. The comparison between books and internet proves that the internet revolution has a major impact on each individual with any means of internet relation.

This is the fifth video which I believe has successfully grabbed my attention. The video consists of satirical images which portray a powerful message about the internet and the use of the colour red clearly signifies the draw backs. The structure of the video shows clear and coherent understanding of the internet.

Self Evaluation for Video =D

.*.*[Self Evaluation for Video =D]*.*.

As part of our Media homework we were asked to produce a 1 minute video with regards to the key aspects of the internet such as: what is so special about it and what are the draw backs. I produced my video using "Windows Movie Maker", which was quite simple to use however some what time consuming. Overall I believe that my video appropriately answered the key questions and included corresponding images with complimented the message the video was delivering. The quality of my production was of a good standard as the images were clear to see and the transitions looked effective. In terms of how aesthetic my production appeared was very high as I chose to make the text look bold and bright with flamboyant colours to look attractive. However my video had some draw backs as I was unable to upload sound on to my video because I did not have a mature understanding of the programmes. Also regarding the feedback, it appeared that my transitions needed to be slowed down in order for the audiences to read the text.

The production value of my production was competent however i believe this could have been very high if some things were altered as the information and understanding shown was of significant level.

Through this evaluation I believe that my WWW is that the video was of good quality and attractive as well as delievered the right information. However my EBI would be to extend my knowledge of the programme so that I can upload sound as well as slow the transitions down or reduce the text.

What is the difference between an internet user and a television user??

*°•oº[What is the difference between internet users and television viewers?]ºo•°*

Internet users are more interactive compared to television users as the interent offers more interactions for the user such as: social networking, listening to music, researching, etc. whereas on the other hand the T.V. limits to what extent you can interact. Also another advantage of using the internt is that you can do things simultaneously, for example researching as well as listening to music. however the internet also has its draw backs as access to certain websites such as porn does not have strong security control on who is accessing it also a percentage of people passively accept the information they get on the internet and don't even question it. The T.V. provides family orientation as it has its own unique sense of socialising with the family which the internet tends to break. However the TV also allows restricted viewers to watch programmes which are not suited to them as not all young viewers are encouraged not to watch TV after the watershed.

• Google watchers have delighted in speculating on the astronomical operational costs of YouTube for quite some time, mostly because it probably seems reassuring that even the mighty Google has some weak spots.
• A $1.76bn acquisition for something that costs them a fortune to run? RampRate put it at more like $83m, citing wholesale broadband deals and proprietary Google technology that would save those cash.
• Google has confirmed before that YouTube isn't profitable, but never given the extent of the loss. Taking the highest estimate for YouTube's revenues and lowest estimate of running costs, YouTube could actually be just about breaking even.
• RampRate also points out that Google is probably quite happy for YouTube to be seen as "a financial folly" because it helps it negotiate cheaper deals with rights holders.

• There is not expected to be large-scale public funding, however, there has been talk of an industry levy to improve broadband access.



• The report will also seek to offer a viable funding solution for Channel 4, which is currently seeking support for its public service output such as advertising revenue declines in Channel 4 News.

(Ben Bradshaw: outlined Digital Britain proposals in Parliament)

• The government announced in it's Digital Britain report that all fixed-line telephone users will pay £6 a year to fund the rollout of fast broadband connection across the country.


• A monthly levy of 50p on every copper telephone line will help pay for next-generation broadband for 90% of the population.


• The government wanted to break the BBC's monopoly on the license fee and use the £200m "digital switchover surplus" from the license fee to help provide universal access to broadband before the next generation service is built.


• The government wants everyone to be able to receive broadband of at least 2Mbps by 2012 as it puts more public services online. The £6-a-year levy will rise between £150m and £175m a year to extend next-generation broadband .


• ITV has said it will pull out of providing regional news because it can no longer afford to fund it – but will continue to provide airtime for other media organisations to supply replacement programming.


• Bradshaw claimed that illegal sharefiling is a theft and punishments for repeat offenders could be to have the speed of their broadband connection reduced.


• The Conservative party labelled the report as "digital dithering from a dated government".
