HD-TV. High definition TVs came on sale in Britain in a big way in 2006 in the run up to the World Cup. whilst the quality is undoubtedly excellent when you see one with a live HD feed there is a problem in the UK of a lack of available program material in HD. 

iPhone. January 2007 CES saw the awaited launch of Apple’s iPhone. This is a fine example of convergent technology in which a phone is able to download both music and video. The screen is a widescreen. The phone is also controlled via a touch screen rather than conventional buttons. 

Interactive TV. The ability to feedback information into the TV system. This requires digital technology. Typically the flow of information from the receiver.

MP3. A digital compression system for transmitting music over the internet with short download times. The rate of sampling is only about half as much as on conventional CDs therefore quality is compressed and more songs are compacted into the memory. 

Internet Search Engine. To navigate the internet effectively it became necessary to invent new software to make a rapid search of the millions of domain names which mushroomed on after the start of the World Wide Web in the mid 1990s. The most successful to date is Google. The way in which the companies who run these make money is by selling advertising space.

_Technology: 

_{Mobile Phones}

_{Article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/business_basics/469294.stm}

_{The mobile phone industry has grown over the years because of the growing technologies that has been created since the invention of the first mobile phone back in 1973 which was analogue. Today mobile phones are digital.}

_{Convergence is a key part of mobile phones today, the newest mobile phones have the internet, video recorded devices, camera devices, music players etc. The mobile phone industry has opened up opportunities for a lot of people which it has supplied jobs.} 

_{The article published 10 years ago reports that a third of the population in the UK own mobile phones. Today most of the population own a mobile phone and its only a small majority of the population today that don’t own a mobile phone because they either cant you one or refuse to have one.} 

_{Article:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4163003.stm}

_{There has been a growing concern on how mobile phones effect our health and worry over more younger children such as eight year olds having the use of a mobile phone. There have been reports that mobile phones can effect brain function and in extreme cases brain tumours.}  

_Music: 

_{Ipods, Mp3 players, Cd’s}

_{Article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4230846.stm}

_{Music as a whole is growing. you can download music from the internet and download them onto an Ipod or an Mp3 player. Before the Mp3 there was the Cd player and before then there was the tape player. As the music industry grew and invented Cd’s the tapes became none existent and vinyl are collected or used by Dj players in clubs. But the music industry has taken a blow because of the illegal downloading on the internet. The number of Cd sales have dramatically dropped because more and more people are downloading music and would rather download the music from the internet then go and buy a Cd. And due to this the Cd players are not being sold as much anymore because of this.} 

Im doing a music video for my media studies A2, I want to film in london but having trouble contacting the councils for the right boroughs. i want to film in South-bank, Carnaby Street and Leister Square. Please help if you can give me any sort of information I would be extremely grateful. 

Thank you Tina xxxxxx

Planning production

There is only me in my production team so I am going to write out a production plan that I will follow, I have already decided what I am going to do for my magazine front cover and for my double paged spread.
I will create a very feminine front cover and inside my magazine I will create an agony aunt page and I will report on an article about fashion or a teenage problem article. I will be using research from magazines and the Internet.

I will be taking my own images that will be featured in my magazine. I will advertise in the college for girls that would like to be featured in my media project, some of the images will be taken in the studio where they will look professional the other images will be done on location, for example for the images of fashion because it is winter now I would like to feature a winter collection so I would like to have a location shoot outside to reflect the fashion.

I will create a location report to ensure health and safety for all involved, a shooting schedule for what model will be wearing what clothes and make up etc. for my studio shoot I will also create a schedule for my studio shoot as well. I will only be using one model for my studio shoot because I only want one model featured on the front cover but I will be giving the whole magazine a Christmas theme because the magazine will be create over Christmas and new year.

To help with my planning stages I will create a plan of what my front page and double page spread will look like. For example this is a rouge version of what my front cover plan will look like.
