6. Media + Metadata = Objects
The idea behind ‘object-based’ media is that you take all the
assets for a given TV or radio show – the video clips, the
accompanying audio, any music soundtrack, and extras like
subtitles and sign language translations
wrap it up in useful metadata and then use software to ‘remix’
it as needed
