Media Production 2

I have finishd up my final MP.

This MP was born of my interest in the impact of video games on society. This interest is linked to the my experiences with gaming as I grew up, Pong, Atari 2600, NES.

This interest has lead to questions: Can violence and addications be attributed to games? Are virtual environments enticing poeple away from reality?

During the process of creating this MP I have been exposed to a variety of technologies. I have used TVnima for the proposal (see previous postings), I have used a variety of online tools to download videos from Youtube, and I have used video editing software (iMovie) to create the overall product.

To see this MP please click below:



My overall feeling regarding games has changed somewhat as I have realized the impact of online virtual gaming. This gaming type is extremely attractive and is now blurring the boundaries between reality and the the virtual.

Based on what I have discovered I will most likely continue to monitor the impact of virtual gaming environments long after ETEC 531 is complete.
