| Research Abstract |
I call "Media Intelligence" the total capacity to analyze and create information through different mediums.
How to receive information in an appropriated way is taught in the discipline of "Media Literacy". 30 years after the birth of "Media Literacy", we need something more than "literacy" (basic knowledge), some higher capacity to apply knowledge and create new values. That why I wanted study on "Intelligence" appearing through analysis and creation of media contes.
In order to study "Media Intelligence", I developed some web systems that simulate analyzing and creating process of media contents like movie or comics.
"Virtual Movie Studio": 3 dimensional web-based environment where users can simulate, using animated characters and cameras in a web 3D space shooting and editing process of movies.
"Movie Comics": a new type of web movie system, which layouts a quantity of web streaming movies in a comics-like frames, or creates comics whom frames are not still pictures but moving images.
By these two systems, we could simulate the process of analyzing and creating high quality media contents, to know "how" we can have an Intelligence in contemporary media environment.
