Truth in the media -
Internet - around since the late 1970s/ early 1980s. Used in universities to message and research, verifying beliefes.
Web 1.0 - The 1st version of the web, characterized by research and sending emails.
Web 2.0 - 2nd version of the web developed during the early 2000s. Characterized by live chats and instant messaging, including MSN, social media, Myspace, all forms of interactivity. The biggest video uploading site, Youtube, launched in 2005.
Key theorists -
- Henry Jenkins - Convergence in the media- Shirky - Has explained the social and economic effects of the modern internet.
My specialist study idea -
In terms of exploring creative media production in linkage to the truth, I would like to explore the idea of camera manipulation within photography - experimenting with white balance, ISO/Aperture and shutter speed along with filters, and how this all affects the photographs during the production, rather than in post-production editing. Manipulating an image, therefore, questions its authenticity linking to our theme of truth.
