The future

After reading some of these links I would like you to write at least 400 words on how online media have developed in your chosen 2 media areas.



Film: Over a number of years the film industry has developed and changed in many different ways for example there are now 3D films that come out on a regular basis. Also there has been advance in sound systems to make the film more realistic, these areas are still underdeveloped and also very expensive and therefore have not really taken off. 
Prior to DVDs and videos the only place that a person could view a film would have been in a theatre and there would have been a much smaller selection available to a much smaller audience. Many people are anticipating that in the future there will be no DVDs and that the films will be available straight from the internet and will bypass the waiting period between cinema and it being released on a DVD.


Music: With the development of the internet the music industry has changed significantly as new artists are being discovered daily, thanks to websites such as Youtube and Myspace. This technological convergence has proved to have made many different new successful artist who without these sites may have never been discovered. With the rise of the internet artists now find it easier to promote themselves and get there music heard by a mass audience.
