What Media do I Consume

The media that I consume the most is mobile social media. So far this month on average I spend seven hours on my phone, the vast majority of that is consuming social media. On YouTube I spend an average of 2 hours 49 minutes a day. On YouTube there are adverts before and throughout the video and therefore I consume many pieces of advertising in a normal day.

Here is a normal daily routine of the media I consume on a normal day in the holidays:
9:00 AM- I wake up and immediately check my phone for emails, refresh my Instagram and go on Snapchat.
9:30 AM- Usually at this point I will go downstairs and make myself breakfast, if i am cooking I usually put on some music through Spotify whilst doing so. Then whilst eating breakfast I will usually watch a YouTube video of some kind.
All Day- Throughout the entire day I am constantly on my phone usually on Snapchat on my phone and then if I am staying in I will watch Youtube throughout the day, Usually Vlogs or documentaries of some kind.
1:00 PM- Usually around this time I go to the gym where I am constantly listening to music through Spotify. Also on the way to the gym I see quite a few sources of print media, whether it be posters on a lamppost or billboards on buses usually I consume some kind of print media.
3:00 PM- Normally after gym I will play on my PS4 for a couple of hours.
9:25 PM- At this time I will usually watch something on TV through Amazon Prime or if X factor is on I will watch that with my family.
11:00- At about this time I watch Netflix in my room until about half 12 and then go bed and repeat my day.

I do pay for my Spotify so I can listen to music offline and without adverts. This payment is done through a monthly subscription which is automatically charged to my account every month unless I cancel it. When it comes to Snapchat the actual application is free however in order to get it you need to have some kind of device which is paid for. Netflix is completely exclusive to people who pay the monthly subscription for it. Youtube is a free application however there is an option to upgrade to premium but I don't do that. My parents pay an annual fee called a TV licence in order to legally watch normal television. For all of these things I do not have to leave my house to get them since they are all online and can be done from home. The media that I consume that can involve me leaving the house to buy is if I buy a new video game however I often buy games through the PlayStation store which then doesn't involve me leaving my house. The only other source of media that involves me leaving the house is print media which I don't see unless I go outside.

In order to consume all of these products accept watching normal television you need an internet connection through something like a laptop, smart Tv or mobile. The way I consume my media is mostly through my phone however I use my PS4 to watch Netflix and play video games.

In conclusion I can gather that most media is distributed through the use of the internet, in my opinion print media is a dying media, it is on a much smaller scale than other media and is also usually an example of above the line advertising. The internet is growing massively very day and is only going to get better.

Time & Personel

Time Issues:  Time constraints can come in many forms and one of the most important aspects to keep in mind when planning a media production. The production of a media product is always carried out to meet a deadline that is often related to its final publication. Failure to meet this can often lead to the project failing and financial loss for the companies deadline. When planning the creation of a media production, timescales are often built backwards from this final deadline. This various phases of the production are then built into planning to meet this deadline. An example of this would be the release of a film, ready for the winter holiday season. Production would be planned back from this point. Personnel Issues: Gathering the right staff- the appropriate number, with the right skills and experience- for the media production is an important aspect of peer-production. During pre-production, the skills and experience of the personnel required will be considered. ...

Guilty pleasures

My guilty is that I am quite partial to some Taylor Swift, I’m not too keen on her new music but I enjoy listening to some old Taylor Swift. I started to enjoy her music a couple of years ago and to this day I still enjoy it. The reason I think that her music is good is because I think it is some of the last good pop music, I like the fact that loads of people love her music and I truly beleive there is not much better that being at a party and some Taylor Swift coming on. For many years Taylor refused to have her songs put on Spotify as she believed that artists did not get enough credit for there work from Spotify however she now has all of her songs on Spotify. Most of her albums had been highly successful however her most successful album to date is her 2006 album “Taylor Swift”. The album made 5.7 million sales worldwide which although isn’t her most was the album which had the most songs in the worldwide top 40. In my opinion her best album so far was her 2014 album “1989”. The ...

First Person Shooters First person shooters have been around for many years and are  continuously dominating the gaming seen with huge titles like Call of Duty and Battlefield being some of the most notorious titles. For the sake of this presentation I am going to be basing the typical conventions of on the campaigns. Some of the typical things that you can expect to see from a first person shooter is that in pretty much every single campaign there is a crazy antagonist set on world domination or disrupting world peace. As they player you can pretty much guarantee that you will be playing the role of a solider that has something that puts them above others, also this character is usually male however this is changing in recent times. Games are pushing more  diversity in their games, an example of this is the new Battlefield. One of the lead characters in the game is a female amputee, this caused a ...
