Digital Technology Essay.

By digital media technology, we mean the digitalized content that used to be on paper, can now be transmitted through different software’s on the internet. This has developed majorly over the years into something quite advanced and helpful in many peoples lives today. Due to digital technology, it has allowed our creativity to explore new paths that they haven’t tried before and we have been able to create new ways to show our media. Experimentation has been a major factor with digital media technology because people needed to know what worked well and what maybe didn’t work so well in order to use it in their future work. Digital technology has helped created a more hyper-reality internet world that is more popular and realistic to the target audience. It has also allowed the creation of media and the access to social networks be more creative and unique again. It has continued to allow people to try new paths of creativity with media and created a new type of media that other people can try in their own work. In my AS year, I found digital media technology allowed me to really come out of my comfort zone for the post production stage of my music magazine, this was especially with the editing side to creating the magazine. It allowed me to create well known and useable skills that people need when they edit. For example how to cut a photo perfectly so it doesn’t look too bad or unrealistic on the magazine page. These skills have occurred through experimentation of my work in the software’s, practice was really a key factor of my music magazine that helped a lot. Having these skills also made my magazine a hyper reality so it was more realistic to the viewers and people knew that I tried to make it like that. Finally these skills have allowed me to gain a better access to the social media that is now out there and become more creative within my work. From my AS year, my skills have developed majorly in my prelimary task with my research. Last year I didn’t really take my research seriously and therefore didn’t understand why I really needed to do it.. On the other hand, this year I have really been opened up to the importance of research before I make the product and the different effect it has on my work, that is why I see my work this year more effective and too a higher level then last years could have ever been. This has allowed me to create thorough skills of contingency and research before I do anything In media. Now having these skills through experiment has allowed me to gain them fully and use them to then the best of my ability throughout the years of being in a level media. It has also allowed my creation of media to have more of a depth and hyper reality to it when the target audience look at it. I know that without this sort of experimentation, my work I have created this year for my horror would not be as effective as it is today. I can see a major effect and different from last years prelimary to this years trailer, Looking back now I see all of the aspects of research and planning was so important to make the final product as effective as this years final product has been. I feel gutted that I didn’t try as hard as I could this year and it has allowed me to see how important this year has been to me in my stages of development and learning. I am thankful to have realised how important research is now before the production of the work that I do and therefore much easier the post-production is now when it comes to my A2 year. The skills I have gained this year has allowed me to be able to develop as a media student and get the higher grades that I wanted to get last year. My product has become more of a hyper reality due to my pre-production and I am so happy that this year has opened my eyes to the importance of every stage of a level media. In conclusion I feel I have matured majorly with my work this year compared to how I was in AS, I now understand the importance of every stage of planning, before and after production. I am so happy that this has opened my eyes to how important all he aspects are. If I was to do it again, I would know the exact things I needed to do in order to achieve a better grade in AS.
