What will prove to be the lasting impact of New Media on film and
television? What kinds of transformations of moving image media are
really already under way? The term 'new media' has become an
effective catch word both as a description of the digital delivery
of media via the Internet, DVD, and digital television and as a
reference to the "newness" such technologies have brought to media
more generally. And yet the nature of this transformation has been
over-hyped and too little understood. The New Media Book provides
an accessible, critical intervention into the field of moving image
studies and features 20 newly commissioned and thought-provoking
essays in a format designed to be of wide use to a range of courses
in digital media, film and television studies. The book is divided
into five thematic sections: Technologies, Production, Texts,
Consumption, and Contexts and addresses how "new media" is both
embracing and altering the existing media landscape. Topics
discussed include the ways in which we interact with digital
television, the changing methods of production, distribution, and
exhibition within the media industry, and how the histories of
traditional media have influenced the development of new media. The
New Media Book examines the corresponding influences that
'traditional' media and 'new' media are having upon each other as
well as revisiting central, continuing issues surrounding the
moving image and the contexts in which all the media operate. The
collected essays present and redefine these crucially important
topics providing the most systematic analysis of both change and
continuity in the contemporary media landscape yet published in the
field of screen studies.
