Unit 1 - AOS 3 - New MEdia...
In this area of study students explore the emergence of new media technologies. The impact and implications of new media technologies are considered in the context of the capabilities of the technologies, their relationship with existing media and how they provide alternative means of creation, distribution and consumption of media products. Students investigate the changes, possibilities and issues that arise from the development of new technologies and how these alter audience experience and understanding of the media.
Technological advancements in the media occur within the context of the society in which they are created, developed and used. Such developments, therefore, not only affect media products themselves but also change the ways audiences think about and use the media. New media may also influence perceptions of ourselves and the world. Students learn that development, convergence and proliferation of technologies change the way existing and new forms of media are transmitted, exchanged, stored and received. They develop an understanding that these changes may also challenge notions of industry, ownership, copyright, privacy and access.
