Streaming Video : Storytelling Across Borders Paperback / softback
Edited by Amanda D. Lotz, Ramon Lobato
Part of the Critical Cultural Communication series
Paperback / softback
Description
An international team of experts explores how streaming services are disrupting traditional storytelling. The rise of streaming has dramatically transformed how audiences consume media.
Over the last decade, subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services, including Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, have begun commissioning and financing their own original movies and TV shows, changing the way and the rate at which content is produced across the globe, from Mexico City to Mumbai.
Streaming Video maps this international production boom and what it means for producers, audiences, and storytellers.
Through eighteen richly textured case studies, ranging from original Korean dramas on Netflix to BluTV's experimental Turkish series, the book investigates how streaming services both disrupt and maintain storytelling traditions in specific national contexts.
To what extent, and how, are streamers expanding norms of television and film storytelling in different parts of the world?
Are streamers enabling the creation of content that would not otherwise exist?
What are the implications for different viewers, in different countries, with different tastes?
Together, the chapters critically assess the impacts of streaming on twenty-first century audiovisual storytelling and rethink established understandings of transnational screen flows.
