Understanding your business objectives and developing thoughtful concepts and ideas that translate to video effectively, and ultimately providing useful content that builds trust. We take pride in the fact that we operate at the ideal place of quality and price and get the most out of every dollar spent on your video production. It’s immersive, instant, and easy to connect with emotionally. Video can take your vital messaging and wrap it up in a compelling narrative that changes your audience’s behaviors and actions. This book comes at a perfect time for faculty members bridging the gap between their academic practice of media studies and the interest of the students to get out and produce-to no longer be passive viewers subjected to a silver bullet media.Video is hands down the best way to get people’s attention and get a message across. I salute the authors for this achievement and highly recommend reading this book. Löwgren and Reimer thoroughly analyse a complex set of issues related to this cultural shift, enriching the existing academic and public debates with new evidence from original case studies and a detailed theoretical discussion of what constitutes collaborative media in the 21st century. Collaborative Media will prove to be useful to researchers, and practitioners in any of the areas described, particularly the ones motivated by the deployment of design research in real-world contexts. This book is an important contribution to the field, illustrated by a diverse set of case studies that bridge traditional disciplinary boundaries between design research, human–computer interaction, and media studies in ways that prioritize the doing of design. My final conclusion is that this is, overall, a very wonderful book and a must read. They conclude by advocating an interventionist turn within social analysis and media design. Löwgren and Reimer discuss the case studies at three levels of analysis: society and the role of collaborative media in societal change institutions and the relationship of collaborative media with established media structures and tribes, the nurturing of small communities within a large technical infrastructure.
#The media collaboratory series
Löwgren and Reimer offer analysis and a series of illuminating case studies-examples of projects in collaborative media that range from small multidisciplinary research experiments to commercial projects used by millions of people. They do so through an interdisciplinary research approach that combines the social sciences and humanities traditions of empirical and theoretical work with practice-based, design-oriented interventions. Jonas Löwgren and Bo Reimer term this phenomenon collaborative media, and in this book they investigate the qualities and characteristics of these forms of media in terms of what they enable people to do. With many new forms of digital media–including such popular social media as Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr-the people formerly known as the audience no longer only consume but also produce and even design media. A thorough analysis of contemporary digital media practices, showing how people increasingly not only consume but also produce and even design media.
