Broadcasters threat to leave broadcast against big bucks -- is it realistic? | African media futures | Scoop.it

But it's not. "If we go to cable, if we are forced to, then about 10 percent of America will not get our signal and I don't think they will like that," CBS chief Leslie Moonves said at a recent panel. And for Moonves, it could be a win-win: what if CBS and its fellow broadcasters are financially incentivized to the tune of billions of dollars in exchange for going off the air?

Dr. Pamela Rutledge's comment, May 27, 4:26 AM
LucaVanin - It can have the same connotation of untruth in the west; just depends on context (and who's paying!) In Entertainment, of course, no one worries about superficial truth. Even (especially?) in Reality TV. What matters is the universal truth that stories can deliver. That is the real litmus test of truth.

Google Glass apps: everything you can do right now

Google Glass apps: everything you can do right now | African media futures | Scoop.it

Google Glass isn’t ready for prime time. Even Google knows this, which is why it hasn't shipped to the masses yet. Instead, Google floated a few units to “Explorers,” glorified guinea pigs who can enjoy the joys and trials of this cuttingest edge of cutting edge technologies. But nascent or not, Glass exists, and it works. Or at least it "works." Developers are still getting their feet wet, high-profile apps like Twitter and Facebook feel more like experiments than finished products, and bugs aren’t the exception, they’re the rule. But, you know, the thing turns on, and hears you say "Okay, Glass," and eagerly awaits your next command. Beyond the home screen, it’s up to Glass Explorers to wade through the good apps, the bad apps, and the broken apps, and we're right there with them. We went exploring, and this is what Glass can do; right here, right now.

Rudolf Kabutz's insight:

Media is becoming so much more a part of our lives. Apparently about 90% of all the data recorded on the lunar rocket flights in the 1970s has never been analysed. Will we generate so much data with our cameras that fill storage systems but is never used or analysed?

Framed: putting context in the player's hands [A new approach to interactive storytelling] | African media futures | Scoop.it

Tracey Lien:  "In most video games, players are entrusted with performing actions: run, jump, shoot, swing, slash, crouch and curb-stomp. The developer sets the scene, establishes the context and the player is released into the world with an arsenal of actions. In Loveshack Entertainment's Framed, things work the other way around."

With Graphic novels being vogue and interactive media sought after- this is a great game by Loveshack Entertainment. It puts the audience in control to craft the story.

Deanya Lattimore's curator insight, May 11, 9:17 AM

Reminds me of Led Zeppelin's _In Through the Out Door_ interior album jackets.  I realized a few years ago that story arc is particular to the character's point of view, and should be talked about in that way, so this really adds a dimension to the analysis that could help students imagine stories from multiple perspectives.

"Mobile Video" Experiences Happen at Home - nice article from VideoNuze

"Mobile Video" Experiences Happen at Home - nice article from VideoNuze | African media futures | Scoop.it

Near the top of my personal list of confusing industry terms is "mobile video." Does it mean watching on a smartphone? A tablet? Both? Does it mean using a wireless carrier's network (e.g. Verizon, AT&T) or a WiFi network or both for access? Does it mean watching while out of home (and if so, where?) or at home? And what content is watched - live? on-demand? short-form? long-form? genre? The list goes on and on. Mobile video is truly one of the most confusing and misunderstood industry terms around.
