David Gauntlett’s ‘Introduction’ to Making Media Studies
We learn about the world through making things and communicating through these senses. These are different ways in which humans can communicate with others. I had never thought about communication in that way, about the process of expressing your ideas but through media you leave a lot to the people that are watching or looking at your piece so everyone gets something different out of it.
David Gauntlett says we should think of Media as:
“conversations, inspirations, and making things happen”
so its not just about a cool concept(although thats always a bonus) but for me media is about changing ideas and I agree with David Gauntlett’s point on “media should be about making the world better” I want the media that I create to be that. To challenge ideas that are backwards and make a change through it.
