New Media

New media was a key part in my documentary as online gaming is a relatively new medium to play games, particularly how it is done today over mass networks and servers. without this technology's existence i wouldn't be righting about this right now so it is incredibly significant. In terms of actual production i found having to film an actual xbox live game an interesting challenge as filming straight from the t.v can be difficult and in my research on ways to do this i learned about capture cards, however these were expensive but what they are is a small hard drive with a piece of soft wear that will record whole sessions of games, when u have captured the footage you want it simply plugs into your computer and the footage can be transfered into an editing medium.
