Media Forms
We have 2 general types which they are
A) Print Media
B) Electronic Media
And these two types having branches which is
1) Art Media: drawings, paintings, sculptures, installation & etcetera
2) Printed Media: magazines, books, newspapers, periodicals & etcetera
3) Broadcast Media: radio and television
4) Web/Digital Media: Internet
5) Film/Animation: films, animation, video
1) Art Media: The word media is the plural for medium; in this context the
medium is the materials used. Art media are materials such as (but not limited
to), oil paint, canvass, watercolors, paper, fabric, thread, granite, marble,
clay, ceramic, enamel, glass, wax, bronze, copper, iron, steel, chrome, etc.
Or in other word
The term is used frequently, but there are differences of opinion
about its precise definition. A medium is a means by which one communicates a
message, the vehicle carrying the message. Thus, if you take the term 'media
art' literally, all art is media art. After all, each artwork must have a
vehicle, such as a piece of paper, a block of marble, or a video tape. Even if
you have an idea, and wish to see that as an artwork, you must communicate that
to your audience in one manner or another, before that audience can recognize
it as an art work. Thus this literal definition is not very useful.
The term media art is however also used to indicate a certain group
of art works. In general, the term media art is understood to apply to all
forms of time-related art works which are created by recording sound or visual
images. A time-related art work is a work that changes and 'moves', in contrast
to older art forms that are static, which stand still, such as paintings,
photographs and most sculptures. Time-related art works include works in the
fields of sound, video and computer art, both installations and internet
projects, and single channel works. Single channel works are video works that
are shown by projection, or on a monitor screen.

The industry associated with the printing and distribution of news
through newspapers and magazines.

3) Broadcast Media : "Broadcast Media" usually refers to media such as TV
& Radio, hence the term broadcast. Webcasts are also usually considered
broadcast media.
"Print Media" usually refers to hard copy media, such as
a newspaper or a magazine.
"Mass Media" usually refers to any type of media designed
to reach "the masses". It could be said, for example, that a movie
like Borat is "mass media".

4) Web/Digital Media : Digital media refers to audio, video, and photo content that has
been encoded (digitally compressed). Encoding content involves converting audio
and video input into a digital media file such as a Windows Media file. After
digital media is encoded, it can be easily manipulated, distributed, and
rendered (played) by computers, and is easily transmitted over computer
networks.
Examples of digital media types include: Windows Media Audio (WMA),
Windows Media Video (WMV), MP3, JPEG, and AVI.

5) Film/Animation : Animated Films are ones in which individual drawings, paintings,
or illustrations are photographed frame by frame (stop-frame cinematography).
Usually, each frame differs slightly from the one preceding it, giving the
illusion of movement when frames are projected in rapid succession at 24 frames
per second. The earliest cinema animation was composed of frame-by-frame,
hand-drawn images. When combined with movement, the illustrator's
two-dimensional static art came alive and created pure and imaginative
cinematic images - animals and other inanimate objects could become evil
villains or heroes.
Film : Now this next bit may seem a little obvious, but the first
generation of people who may never have seen a film camera are now coming to
the age where they are surfing the internet and possibly encountering the
mysteries of a film camera for the first time. So what is film? In this day and
age it is simply a length of polyester based plastic covered with a
photosensitive coating, that is - it reacts to light striking it (in the past
the backing has been celluloid or glass). Now the science behind this would fill
an entire website with ease, so we won't be covering this in any depth. For our
purposes we will say that the films used today are very reactive to light and
should never be exposed to light except inside the camera, again obvious to the
film generation users, but we are a dying breed! Film allowed to come into
contact with light outside of a camera will be exposed, ruining it, a condition
known as fogging. For this reason film makers developed two principle
strategies to allow the user to reload the camera with film in daylight without
fogging the film. These are, a paper backing rolled with the film with an
excess "leader" before the actual photosensitive film starts, or a
small metal canister where the film exits through a slit with tight lightproof felt
edges.
Aside from these principle mechanical differences, there are
different types of film available, ranging from black and white negative film
to color transparency (or reversal) film. After this there are more technical
films such as Infra-Red and x-ray sensitive films, which for our purposes are
outside the scope of this site. Within all these different film types are
different degrees of sensitivity, indicated by the films' ASA rating, the
higher the number - the more sensitive the film. A good 'everyday' film is
Kodak Gold, 200 ASA, which we use as a standard in all museum 35mm cameras. As
a film user you can choose to develop your films yourself or send to a
laboratory. Different types of film require different processing treatment, a
brief UK guide to methods used by The Living Image below; serve to illustrate
the easiest solutions.
