When looking back at David Guantlett's Media 2.0 - his suggestions has influenced me when thinking about my future plans to do with my production of my music video and my ancillary tasks.
It is clear within the theory that it suggests that technological advancements has transformed the way that we use media products - we are now prosumers. This mean that we can produce our own media content but also consume it - for example YouTube helps to do both of these things for the user - and will be the site that I will be using when uploading my music video to make it public. This is because YouTube is a huge platform that enables anyone from around the world with an internet connection to have access to my music video - ultimately giving my artist a wider platform.
Social media also relates well to Guantlett's theory - and I will be using this to my advantage. This is because having a social media platform enables the artist to connect with their fans, by constantly posting about their general life, posting about upcoming tour dates or new music that they are working on.
Furthermore, I hope to produce a music video that fits within the teenage age bracket - to whom are depicted as the Net Gen (this links to Tapscott's theory). Therefore, this age category are more likely to use technological devices including technological advancements, like portable smart phones - enabling the user to easily access these social media sites. However, ultimately these advancement are now becoming cheaper, therefore are more accessible for people to purchase these products. These technological advancements aid anyone to access my music video and website with ease - making my main production and my ancillary acceptable to a wider audience.
David Guantlett's theory also represents my position as an A2 student, as this proves that now has the accessibility and opportunity to be a prosumers - as we can now produce and consumer media products. Overall, equipment is cheaper - making videos easier to produce, and video platforms like YouTube allows the sharing of videos open to anyone, with no restrictions.
