Self Evaluation =)

For mine and Aqeel's video, we recieved very similar feedback from the class. We receievd a mixture of Level 4's, 3's and 2's and none level 1's. This means that our video is at a level 4/3/2 at the moment. We found that in our feedback most people gave us Level 3 for Aesthetics and very few gave us Level 4. This shows that we are working towards Level 4 on Aesthetics as we gained a mixture of these two levels. This also connotes that in order to get a Level 4 we need to work more on making the video well formed and set out. Our feedback also showed us that our video was very creative in the classes opinion. This was because for Creativity we received many Level 4's and very little Level 3's. This means that our video is very creative as we used a range of images to get the point across and also used music which is connected to the internet. From our feedback, we found that our soundtrack was liked by the majority of the class due to it going with the video as it was related to the internet which was also mentioned in the 'WWW'. However, the majority of the class chose our 'EBI' to be to slow down the edits so that the information could be read which meant that our edits were too fast which shows that we need to improve when editing the edits to ensure that they are a normal pace so that the audience can read it properly.

Internet User && Television Viewer

The difference between a internet user and a television viewer is that a internet user is able to communicate with people in different ways. For example, a internet user is able to communicate 'one to one', 'many to many', and 'one to many' whereas a television viewer is not able to communicate as much as a internet user. Also, a internet user is able to choose what they would like to do on the internet which includes what songs to listen to, what videos to watch and etc whereas a television viewer is shown certain programmes at certain times which means that a television viewer is not given a choice as to when they can watch their programmes but they will need to tune in on a certain time to be able to watch the programme they want. This shows that by being a internet user, people are provided with more choices as to what they want to do and when they want to do it whereas a television viewer is not.
I believe that I am more active online and this is because when I am on the internet I am able to do what I want and when I want to do it. For example, I am able to watch the programmes I have missed on the internet at any time of the day and also download music which I will be able to have on my computer saved and listen to it whenever I want which I would not be able to do on the television. Also, on the internet I feel more involved as I am able to decide myself what I would like to do and when.

Digital Britain Report

http://www.blogger.com/www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/jan/28/digital-britain-broadband

Key points about the report above:

Lord Carter will introduce plans to clamp down on internet music and video piracy to ensure that people are not stealing someone elses music or copywriting. This means that there will be more security on the internet.


By the time of the London Olympics everyone will be able to get an internet connection which is as fast enough to watch games live on the internet so that children also know how to protect themselves on the internet. This will ensure that there is less crime on the internet involving children.

The internet will be targetted at a speed of at least 2Mb per second nationwide.
Lord Cater is to also create a next generation of super fast broadband networks. This means that people will be able to download music tracks in seconds and movies in just a few minutes. This means that there will be less waiting for people and the downloads will be instant rather than people waiting for a long time. This will allow the internet to be more popular due to the fast broadband networks.


Lord Carter is also aiming to look at the subject of digital education in the UK which will aim to increase digital literacy. This will mean that young children will be able to have more educational resources available on the internet including videogames to teach them.

Key points about the article above:

Lord Carter has said that 1.5 million households might get access to the next generarion broadband as at the moment it is estimated that 2.75 million homes have no access to a connection at this speed. This will show Lord Carter's commitment to ensure everyone has access to the internet. This also means that the internet will become more popular by the next generation and more people will be able to have access to the internet in their homes.


Lord Carter has also said that landline users will pay £6 a year towards the superfast broadband which will be from the BBC's digital switchover help scheme. This will help meet the £200 million annual cost of providing consumers with universal access. This will help consumers get a faster internet connection sooner so that they do not have to wait a long time on the internet but is instant.


Lord Carter has stated that by 2012 that consumers should recieve at least 2MBps connection on the internet. This is because by this there will be able to more Public Service's online which will mean that consumers will be able to access Public Services on the web anytime. This connotes that the internet will become more popular as people will be able to acces Public Services online and view what they would like to.


An extra of 50p would be given by customers of broadband in order to get a copper line, this would guarantee and upgrade the fixed line network as internet is very important to be guaranrteed and upgraded as it is used by most people. This will be worked on by BT and Virgin Media which will help them raise £175 million a year.

Key points of the article above:

Video games will be more protected on the internet as there will be a service which will ensure that games are not being copywrited and are not being stolen.

Lord Carter will work with the five UK mobile networks to make the internet cheaper for customers as BT will be too expensive for customers. By this customers are able to access the internet at a cheaper price and more customers will be persuaded to use the internet which will increase the popularity of the internet.

By using the UK's five mobile networks, Lord Carter is able to push 3G mobile phone broadmand to more than the 80% of customers which are already attracted. By this more customers are able to use the internet where ever they are and have 24/7 access.
