Media Design can include the way we
communicate with others, how we are entertained, through films and music and
the way in which media interacts with us during our lives. So, in my film I
want to focus on how our daily lives are influenced by the media around us and
the design within that. Media design is interwoven into everything we do,
especially as young design students.
In our daily lives we interact with media
design countless times, for instance through social media such as Facebook and
I see this as a chance for designers to influence those around us and how we
communicate with each other. My clip demonstrates how people integrate these
social media sites into their daily lives so easily and the power this has. For
instance, in my clip someone takes a photo of themselves and this instantly
becomes a picture on Facebook. This is merely an illustration of how people
have begun to rely on sites like these.
I have also included how people are
constantly using media design such as cellphones and ipods as I believe that
they have become a integral part of our lives. For instance we can choose a
playlist to walk to school with, blocking out the noises around us and
controlling our view of the world.
The sixth sense, a product currently under
development illustrates my point best. With this new device people can
constantly have media design mediating between themselves and the world around
them. This product is a phone and
camera while also allowing you constant information about the things around
you, for instance books you are looking at buying. This invention demonstrates
how reliant we are becoming on technology and the way that we have our lives
filled with technology and media constantly.
Media Design is quickly becoming an increasingly influential aspect of
our society and I plan to illustrate this through my stop motion film.
