Opening paragraph and essay plan: Justin



How important is technological convergence for institutions and audiences within a media area that you have studied?

1. Technological convergence has allowed institutions in film to produce and market films in a variety of ways and has provided films with different and new characteristics, it has an inevitable result of our modernising world and so the film industry relies on keeping up and competing with varying array of formats The development in technology has meant that different cameras and special effect can be added and used in films. The producers of The Dark Knight wanted to release it in IMAX theatres, which is a technique of widescreen cinematography that produces an image approximately ten times larger than that from standard 35 mm film. Technological convergence has become a very crucial component in the changes to the film industry. Technology has allowed us to develop and improve the quality of films, making them more complex and dynamic, whilst also helping making them easier to make and also access.

2. I will answer the question by first mentioning how important is technological convergence is for institutions and audiences, after I’ll include a case study which we have done to back up my statement.

I would structure it like this:

·         An opening statement that answers the question and talks briefly about what you are going to mention in the essay
·         First paragraph (New Technological convergence)
·         Second paragraph (Case Study in depth)
·         The rest of the paragraphs going back and forth between technological convergence and mentioning the pros and cons of each
·         Final Statement/Conclusion that closes the essay.

Case Studies: Technological convergence
·         4k
·         3D
·         Films; Avatar, Gravity
