I
tend to go to the cinema once a month I either go with my family or with my
friends. We only go if there is a film we really want to see. Only one of us
ever buys the popcorn then we all share the popcorn between us all. We also all
bring drinks from home so the only thing we have to buy are the tickets.
I have access to cable TV in the lounge by BT
vision. It has film channels on it such as Film Four or Movie Mix it also has a
box office on it and you can rent or buy movies and then watch them on the TV. In
2003 it was found that there was an average of 2.03 television per UK
households however by 2012 this had dropped to just 1.83 television set per
household. 53% of UK adults are now media multi-tasking meaning while watching
TV, this can involve anything from scrolling through the internet to tweeting
what is happening in the show. Media
stacking is also used a lot while watching television this involves watching
something on TV and doing other things unrelated to what you are watching on
TV. 32% of people will surf the net, 22% will look at social networking sites
and 16% will do online shopping. 52% of children aged between 5 and 15 have
TV’s in their rooms. People are reverting to having just 1 television in their
home, 41% of households have 1 TV at home compared to 2002 when just 35% of
households had 1 TV.
I
don’t have a DVD player in the lounge but both my mother and myself have DVD
players in our rooms this is because we only tend to watch movies when there is
nothing on the TV. We don’t own a blue-ray player but my dad has one. I buy
disks for my DVD player but not very often as I often buy films on my tablet so
I can watch them anywhere that I like. I don’t have access to a hard disk
recorder however we can record on the BT vision box that we have. I tend to
record films on there and then watch them later on. I also tend to keep them on
there for a long time so that I can re-watch them again and again.
I
have Internet access both at my mums and my dad’s. I use the Internet on
all my devices such as my iPhone, tablet and laptop. I tend to watch movies on
the Internet using my laptop on different websites such as Netflix or Amazons
prime instant video to watch movies. I tend to watch them on my tablet but its
harder to watch them on it as they don’t always load or can take a long time to
buffer. I never watch them on my iPhone because the screen is too small. Media
meshing was seen widely during the Wimbledon Men’s tennis final in 2013. This
was because 1.1 million people where tweeting worldwide. Hashtags associated
with the tennis final were used 2.6 million times and 80% of the tweets came
from mobile devices. The number of people who own a smartphone has reached 72%
in the UK growing 14% in the last 10 months. People aged between 25 and 30 are
the mostly likely to own a smartphone with 89% of them owning a smartphone, but
people aged 16 to 24 come in a close second with 85% of them owning a smartphone.
54% of people aged 54 to 65 now also own
smartphones.
I
watch unprofessional videos on either YouTube or on apps such as vine. I watch
them on these sites as they offer some of the best vlog videos on them when I
do watch films online I tend to watch them in a group of people as I only tend
to use online film sites when no one in the group knows what we should all
watch, so sites such as Netflix come in really handy in those kinds of situations
as almost all movies are on there so we are always able to find a film for
everyone.
I
have access to a video camera at home and I also have one on my phone I use the
video camera on my phone more than the actual video camera because my iPhone is
more accessible than the actual video camera. I make home videos on them to
remember events such as Christmas and birthdays. I do make videos but they
don’t get shared because they are memories that are special to my family and
not anyone else.
