Week 1 - First day in RTA

To me digital media was essentially media based through the web and computing. Based on the first lecture this was almost true. Digital media was presented as ones and zeros. It is apparent why students of RTA should be taking digital media courses, because traditional media outlets must embrace digital forums such as web based media in order to advertise and reach a large audience becoming increasingly devoted to the Internet.

It is very exciting to be in this program because it presents an excellent opportunity to learn areas of media I'm interested in as well as other areas i had not previously considered. Digital media was one of which i had not thought all that much about the summer before coming to RTA, however after the first day in lecture and in lab it has become more interesting and appealing. Hopefully this experience will continue as we explore the other areas of media.

While not my first day of University it is my first day at RTA. I previously attended McMaster University in Hamilton. I was taking Theater & Film, however wanted to produce media rather that simply study it so the decision was made to transfer to RTA. It also presents has the benefit of living at home which will save money...especially on food.
