CONSUME

Big Screen
-Cinema (Shared)
-Televsion (Shared and Private)
-Personal Computer (Shared and Private): Can consume and produce media

Small Screen
-Personal media player (ipod) "On-the-go"
-Mobile phones (ipod touch) - "Smart phones on the fly"

3G = Information? Yes. Entertainment? Yes and No
3G Portals
(Have to start thinking about webisonic drama's when starting out as producers, however the main obstacle in creating a film on your phone is the sound)....

PRODUCE

Fan Film
Fans who originally consume merchandise decide to make a film about it (like 'Star Wars'), which is then consumed/watched by others, in particular other fans. An example is the short film "Troops" which we watched in a previous lecture, which is hilarious. Another example is 280 days which we watched last lecture which not not nearly as entertaining, however I found it to be equally amusing due to the award winning acting... *cough*....

I went and had a look at http://www.fanfilms.net/ and found a pretty funny and well made 'Family Guy' parody that included some of my favourite childhood wrestlers like 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Hollywood 'Hulk' Hogan and The Undertaker....
