Media beyond title-a showreel

Abstract

This presentation showcases the journey that I embarked into within the media world. It is based on creating an overview of TV distribution history and analyzing changes in distribution to identify patterns throughout the years. This work was done by studying major formats in TV production as well as local and international production, TV shows, home-viewing and audience, and digital distribution. Every method of distribution and production affected shifts in audience expectations and changes in content, and every production was executed differently in each country. Based on academic literature and personal achievements, this study investigates the media industry in the Arab world and how it shapes the national identities, the effect of COVID 19 on media, and how media use changed and shifted to platforms. This shape-based study shows that our personalities and realities are created through our communicative interactions with others despite personal and daily challenges. It is a lifetime “practice” and story sharing about goals and hopes for the future, alongside with the factors that helped to realize the first steps toward the career I achieved. It is an approach viewed from the most basic steps and elements in life – facts that shaped a career in TV and media fulfilling, thus, my life.
