User-Penetrated Content: Fan Video in the Age of Convergence.
Cinema Journal 48, (Summer 2009): 125-130.
Abstract:
Internet video has populated media ecology with remarkable speed and thoroughness. Although there has been video online since the late 1990s in forms such as QuickTime streaming, Flash animation, and downloadable files, YouTube’s 2005 launch and the subsequent proliferation of similar sites represent a maturation of the broadband infrastructure and the embedded software required for social media. The resulting ease of posting, finding, watching, and sharing videos, along with the incorporation of Webcams and basic editing tools like Windows Movie Maker into standard computer bundles, have facilitated an eruption of user-generated media. At the same time, the digitization of mass media, including the compulsory conversion to digital television in the United States, has made commercial texts more readily available for appropriation and manipulation because these video files are now directly transferable between the devices formerly known as the TV and the computer.
