Time-Based Media

Time-Based Media refers to content that unfolds over time, such as videos, audio recordings, animations, and multimedia presentations. Unlike static images or text, these media require a sequence of events or a progression of scenes to convey their message or story. They are dynamic by nature, with timing, pacing, and transitions playing a crucial role in the viewer’s experience. Examples include movies, podcasts, digital animations, and interactive media. Understanding and properly managing time-based media is essential for creators and archivists to ensure the content remains accessible and functional over time.
