Multimedia Authoring and Hardware


In the presentation by my peers on Multimedia Authoring and Hardware we did an activity on the effectiveness of multimedia.  in this activity we have to look at two different chosen types of advertising multimedia and asses which one we found to be a better advertisement.  This task was good as you learned to not only identify the differences between the two advertisements but you also had to back up your views with reasoning .  You had to think why you thought a particular advertisement was more effective. 


Core Topic: Hardware


The lecture this week was interesting as we were shown a few funny sights that i did not know existed such as uncyclopeadia http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page which is a sight designed to be a joke with non factual information that may appear to some students to be accurate and use in assignments.  We also looked at the instant power that the digital world brings to some people such as the KONY 2012 organisation as well as to the music world where a video may be watched by thousands or millions because it is an interesting video though the music may not necessarily be the sole art form that are causing  an artist or bands success.  We should get students to think about the impact that media can have both positive and negative.
