LizB-Web207 - Digitisation and Convergence - the cameraphone

Liz Barrett's Assignment 3 - Reflective Web Media Creation for unit Web207, Curtin University of Technology.

Why this clip was made:

This clip was made to convey, from my perspective, how digitisation and convergence has affected the way we socialise and interact with one another through personal photography, in particular, how the ubiquitous camera phone has changed the way we express and represent ourselves.
