I remember being completely blown away when I read the “Driving Dogs” case study back in Issue 27. I’d never seen a charity pair up with a commercial brand before let alone a dog driving a car. But I also remember “$hred” for BNZ and thinking that the craft behind it was superb. Looking back at Issue One, over half the contents was Direct Mail. Today, there is a lot less of it.

  • Producers of Popular Science Web Videos – Between New Professionalism and Old Gender Issues
    Producers of Popular Science Web Videos – Between New Professionalism and Old Gender Issues Jesús Muñoz Morcillo1*, Klemens Czurda*, Andrea Geipel**, Caroline Y. Robertson-von Trotha* ABSTRACT: This article provides an overview of the web video production context related to science communication, based on a quantitative analysis of 190 YouTube videos. The authors explore the main characteristics and ongoing strategies of producers, focusing on three topics: professionalism, producer’s gender and age profile, and community building. In the discussion, the authors compare the quantitative results with recently published qualitative research on producers of popular science web videos. This complementary approach gives further evidence on the main characteristics of most popular science communicators on YouTube, it shows a new type of professionalism that surpasses the hitherto existing distinction between User Generated Content (UGC) and Professional Generated Content (PGC), raises gender issues, and questions the participatory culture of science communicators on YouTube. Keywords: Producers of Popular Science Web Videos, Commodification of Science, Gender in Science Communication, Community Building, Professionalism on YouTube Introduction Not very long ago YouTube was introduced as a platform for sharing videos without commodity logic. However, shortly after Google acquired YouTube in 2006, the free exchange of videos gradually shifted to an attention economy ruled by manifold and omnipresent advertising (cf. Jenkins, 2009: 120). YouTube has meanwhile become part of our everyday experience, of our “being in the world” (Merleau Ponty) with all our senses, as an active and constitutive dimension of our understanding of life, knowledge, and communication. However, because of the increasing exploitation of private data, some critical voices have arisen arguing against the production and distribution of free content and warning of the negative consequences for content quality and privacy (e.g., Keen, 2007; Welzer, 2016).

  • Opinions Libres - 1 / 12 - Edition PDF Du 6 Septembre 2020 2
    1 MIPTV 2015 : contenus OTT Après la première partie de mon compte-rendu du MIPTV 2015 dédiée aux contenus TV traditionnels, passons aux contenus digitaux, c’est-à-dire créés au départ pour une diffusion Internet, principalement sur YouTube et via les Multi-Channel Networks (MCNs). Chaque année, la part dédiée à ces contenus est de plus en plus grande au MIPTV. Cette fois-ci, deux journées complètes de projections et tables rondes animées par des MCNs (Multi-Channel Network) étaient au programme. Les trois quarts étaient présentées dans le grand auditorium du Palais des Festivals de Cannes ! On y trouvait essentiellement des vidéos de gamins plus ou moins grands, des sports extrêmes et du comique troupier de civils. Les principales innovations portaient sur les news, fabriquées de manière originale chez Vox Media et Vice News ainsi que sur les documentaires. Les débats portaient notamment sur l’attention et sur la durée moyenne des vidéos Internet. Leur durée continue de baisser et de descendre en moyenne en-dessous de trois minutes. Cela en devient une religion ! Les producteurs des MCNs s’adaptent à l’attention de plus en plus faible des adolescents, de quoi faire vociférer à juste titre l’irascible Alain Finkielkraut qui était en couverture du Point la même semaine. Dans la pratique, les MCNs produisent de plus en plus des mini-séries avec des épisodes de 11 minutes packagables en 22 minutes pour passer à la TV. Des productions sont lancées d’emblée pour le cinéma comme pour la TV classique, commeVenus and Mars de PurpleGeko, diffusé sur Sky TV au Royaume-Uni et tournée avec des appareils photo reflex.

  • Typologies of the Popular Science Web Video
    Typologies of the popular science web video Jesús Muñoz Morcillo, Klemens Czurda and Caroline Y. Robertson-von Trotha Abstract This article provides a first statistical analysis of the typologies and characteristics of popular science web videos on YouTube. An analysis of 190 videos from 95 online video channels was conducted. Several factors such as narrative strategies, video editing techniques, and design tendencies with regard to cinematography, the number of shots, the kind of montage used, and even the use of sound design and special FX point to a notable professionalism among science communicators independent of institutional or personal commitments. This analysis represents an important step in understanding the essence of current popular science web videos and provides an evidence-based description of their distinctive features. Keywords Popularization of science and technology; Science and media; Visual communication Introduction Since the creation of YouTube in 2005, there have been opposing positions on the quality of web videos. Some criticize the banality displayed by the majority of amateur movies on the Internet [Keen, 2007, p. 5; Lovink, 2011, p. 9], while others praise the participatory culture fostered by this new mass media phenomenon [Jenkins, 2006; Hartley, 2009]. Today, there is a broad consensus that most videos on the Internet involve familiar or commonplace contents [Marek, 2013, p. 17]. However, there are some exceptions. One of them is the “popular science web video”. A popular science web video is a short video that focuses on the communication of scientific contents for a broad audience on the Internet. For the sake of terminological simplicity and easier reading, in the following we will speak of “science web video” or “science video”, referring to the above definition.
