CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION week 6 lecture

This morning's lecture was on the consumption and production big screen and small screen.
It was about us as consumers - how we consume content from the big and small screens.

The term 'the big screen' is often heard or referred to as the cinema. However there are other classifications under the heading 'big screen' such as Computers and Television. These are all content feeding machines through the use of picture, sound and writing.

Then there comes the 'small screens'...
These are devices with screens that are not only of smaller size but they use less technology to feed their messages. Personal media players such as ipods, discmans, MP3 players are considered 'small screen' players along with other devices such as mobile phones. These devices use mainly sound and writing to portray their content/messages. Pictures can be used as well on these devices but they are more known for communicating through sound and writing.
