75Analyse how access to digital media technology has turned media consumers into media producers.Relationship between consumer/producer: when media was passive (non-interactive), the relationship between consumer and producer was one way but with digital, interactive media the modes of production can be accessed by the consumer (audience) who can now produce their own media.
• Access to the means of production: digital media is more accessible than ever to a wider section of society because low costs make it relatively inexpensive to own semi-professional equipment (video cameras, editing software, image manipulation packages).
• Consumers as producers: the ability to acquire equipment has made production less exclusive and more egalitarian (fair) giving wider participation to those under-represented by mainstream institutions/those without a ‘voice’ (the consumer), this has led to ‘guerilla filmmaking’ and other amateur productions.
• Examples of where consumers previously relied on professional filmmakers/audio producers/ photographers/graphic designers/journalists but have now become producers of ‘WeMedia’ (do-it-yourself), include:
o filming and editing/ ‘bedroom’ filmmakers
