  • Le Jeu Vidéo Sur Youtube : Historique De La Captation Et De La Diffusion Du Jeu Vidéo
    Université de Montréal Le jeu vidéo sur YouTube : historique de la captation et de la diffusion du jeu vidéo par Francis Lavigne Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques Faculté des arts et des sciences Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de M.A. en études cinématographiques option études du jeu vidéo Août 2017 © Francis Lavigne, 2017 Résumé Ce mémoire s’intéresse à la captation audiovisuelle et aux pratiques de commentaires sur le jeu vidéo. Tout d’abord, nous remettons en contexte l’émergence de ce type de production à l’aide d’une analyse historique de divers formats de diffusion (à la télévision, à l’aide de vidéocassettes, dans les suppléments de magazines et sur Internet). Ensuite, nous détaillons les limites et affordances de la plateforme participative YouTube. Puis, nous rattachons les commentaires de jeux vidéo aux concepts de boniment, de performance et de double performance. Enfin, nous analysons quatre genres de vidéos présents sur YouTube : les machinimas, les speedruns, les longplays et les let’s plays. Mots-clés Jeu vidéo, machinima, longplay, let’s play, speedrun, YouTube, boniment, commentaire, double performance i Abstract This research is aimed to understand the audiovisual recording and commentary practices of video games. First of all, we do a contextualisation of these types of production through a historical analysis of the way theses videos were diffused (from televised shows, to VHS, magazines’ bonuses, and on the Internet). After, we detail the limits and affordances of the YouTube sharing platform. Then, we create links between the commentary of video game and the concepts of film lecturer, performance and double performance.

Broadcaster Overview Tables 67 Diversity and equal opportunities in television – UK broadcasting industry report 1. Industry Overview 1.1 Ofcom has a duty to promote equality of opportunity in relation to employment in the broadcast sector. We can ask broadcasters to provide information about their equal opportunities policies and the make-up of their workforce. This document looks at the profile of broadcasters across the UK television industry over the period of 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018. We required broadcasters to complete an information request by questionnaire. The methodology for this, which was updated to improve our data set from the first report, is described in detail in the relevant document on Ofcom’s online diversity hub.1 1.2 This document looks at data from all 72 broadcasters (covering 740 licences) who met the qualification threshold of having 21 or more employees and being authorised to broadcast for more than 31 days a year. They account for 49,901 employees in total across the industry, which we calculate to be around 97% of all employees.2 Though some broadcasters did not provide data in respect of all the characteristics we asked about, we consider that the data provides a comprehensive representation of the industry. 1.3 We required all television broadcasters with an Ofcom licence, the BBC and S4C3 to complete a questionnaire providing us with data on the make-up of their workforce across the three protected characteristics where we have powers to do so: gender, racial group, and disability.
