The future of creative industries - week 6

Today we listened to a Kevin Spacey talk where he was very inspired about the future of how TV and films are consumed. He talked about Netflix and subscription based entertainment and learning from the failings of the music industry to deal with piracy. we also learnt that the way in which we interact with the medium has changed. We multi-task and multi-engage with many platforms at once. We check our facebook on our tablets and ipads, whilst sending an email from our phones and watching an episode of 'Checkout' on ABC's iview. I was surprised to see just how much money Australians spend each year on the creative industries and made note that the majority was in the interactive mediums such as games etc. Again this inspires me to question where it is that I'm heading. I feel inspired to create a game that goes with an album of songs. Maybe as you reach a new level on the game you get a new song. The game could take place over ten stages. Each stage a new song. so many options but so much still to learn.
