  • 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.
