Lights, camera, action

Being a Multimedia Arts student at Lyceum of the Philippines  and one of my major subjects told us we need to make two videos in a different topic for our major exams. Together with my new classmates, we form groupings to make 5 members each. After that, the first topic that was given by our instructor was about old media to new media. Our members took the research and tackle about the script that we are going to make the props and ideal place we need to shoot.

We decided to explain the old media before on how human beings adopted it and how they survived living on it. As we discussed and act what old media we had before it gives us information and vision on how difficult it was to communicate to another person if they lived too far. People tried many things to make their communication become easy and effective. As time goes and new generation arrived man invented many things that improve to make better communication.

We shoot in different places defends on the scene needed. Portray different character and act on it. We shared the skills we have to make our video interesting and artistic. Those are my experience while doing our mini film.

Fastest growing media

While doing our shooting for the two consecutive major exams I learned facts about the old media from  new media. Communication is very important to us. And before people find many ways on how they will communicate to others. Different types on how people learned time by time. They begin to use horns, smoke and flag signals. It is the time that communication is very difficult.

When radio, telephone, and television arrived it give much easier to communicate and gathered information for anyone. The message was clear and easy to understand. New media begins with those three major popular gadgets that're very helpful. In television we can see and hear the information fast unlike before.

The Internet came and also possible ideas begin through the help of evolving technology. Many applications were created and most of them were very helpful. Google, facebook, and youtube were examples of them. Google has its definition in almost everything you search. Facebook helps us to keep our family and friends most likely those are far from us. Youtube is a video streaming provide to preserve any kinds of video.

Work and Technology

How technology  able to change work. people are working now from home because of the internet. It’s not that easy to look for online jobs. Certain skills are needed. Being an MMA student has a potential to have worked at home and I’m looking also to do home based. Video editing and image director are one of those. My personal experience in applying online was difficult and need much time.

To have an online job the basic requirement you must have was stable internet connection and equipment.  For a student like me and having my own family it’s a good opportunity to have a  work from home with the help of technology. I don’t need to go out to have work and the best part of it was I’m with my family at home. Because of that, I was able to help things in the home.

Now I have application for a news coordinator position. The main function is choosing the appropriate image in the story using different image application. Copying the source link and some details. Through internet and technology many things now are possible.

Unstoppable Evolution

My personal experience from old media to new media. Going back when I was in my childhood I used to do some paper works using a typewriter. A manual type of machine for writing. It uses a ribbon that serves ink to produce letters and symbol. It is too heavy to carry I remembered. But what we have now in our generation is a personal computer. A device built not only to produce letters and symbol but to write, communicate, search anything, gather information in many ways, saved important details using its large memory and a version of a portable computer that you can carry anywhere which is called a laptop.

A manual camera to a digital type of camera uses for capturing pictures. But today we have cellphones that can take pictures of the quality of a digital camera. Technology now is leading too fast. Evolves from time to time.

Aside from those gadgets. Cellphone era has been developed rapidly. During when I was a kid the cellular phone I first try to use is the one that has an antenna followed by a Nokia brand 3310. From that time Nokia brand was so famous and yearly they developed a new one. Speaking of the present cell phone now, we use touch screen type of phone that can function unbelievable and amazing.
