Project 3

Today many TV shows and advertisements try to look amateurish or "homegrown" to emulate what is often seen on the Web. Do you think professional production values will continue to drop, or do you think amateur user-generated content will get better over time? WHY??

User generated content and Web 2.0 are rapidly becoming more popular. With that, comes a significant change in the advertising business. Professional production values will continue to drop due to homegrown advertisements. If users are able to contribute, like they are on the web, they certainly will. Like the old saying, practice makes perfect. The more people contribute, the sooner they will become proficient at it, and it will appear better to the viewer. When looking at it from an advertising company's point of view, if they do not like the way their products are being marketed because of this switch in advertising, they may need to start focusing more on product placement than on television commercials.
