Media Convergence

 Media convergence - is the rapid change in today's media. Today's media has evolved to be able to complete multiple functions because of media convergence. 

Types of media convergence- There are 5 main types of media convergence they are economic convergence, organic convergence, cultural convergence, global convergence, and technological convergence.  An example of Economic convergence is if a company interests across many different kinds of media. An example of organic convergence is if someone's watching tv, playing music, or texting a friend these are all examples of organic convergence. One example cultural convergence of is if a story flows across several kinds of media platforms. An example of global convergence is if a distant culture influences another culture despite the distance that separates them. An example of technological convergence is the merging of technology's capability. For example, today's phone can watch video's search information, take pictures, and so much more than was able to me done on an old phone. 

Why its related - Convergence relates to mass media because its responsible for creating it. Mass media was formed because of the evolution convergence of the modern phone. We are able to do things like post on social media, search information, take picture, make calls, and a lot more due to media convergence. These are only some of the things I have viewed as examples of convergences in today's society.

One movie that does a good job of showing the representation of another culture is "The woman king." This movie shows how a kingdom lived and survived even at the worst of times. We learn about their native dances, weaponry, clothing, and methods of healing. While this film does a good job representing this kingdom, I don't think all media accurately represent every social group it covers. I know this because I've seen multiple statements made on a specific social group that contradicts each ot

Critical Reflection Questions

   Critical reflection PowerPoint   I created this PowerPoint by using inf ormation from previous assignment questions. In my final PowerPoint I answered questions about conventions, social group or issues, audience engagements, how my production skills developed, and how I integrated technologies in my video production.   In my PowerPoint   I   included  information on all these questions along with picture of my video. While creating this PowerPoint  I  did encounter a few problems. The first problem I had was with my PowerPoint  system. Once I  had all the information into the  PowerPoint  I the needed to record a voice over per the instructions. Unfortunately,  when I  went to record my voiceover,   I   realized  I didn't  have the record button. The record button is usually in the top right of the screen but for some reason it wasn't  these. To overcome this,  I recorded my voiceover as a separate video. The second problem I encountered was trying to find a way to add the
