Notes on PROJECT ONE presentations
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
Jerry Seinfeld
Today was the first day of PROJECT ONE presentations. So far the case studies have been interesting and, for the most part, amusing, as many people had chosen comedy videos to analyse for their first assignment. The presentations opened up relevant discussion on video form, specifically how online videos differentiate from traditional media. For example, the first case study was Jerry Seinfeld’s comed web series ‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee’. Although this show has high quality production value (obviously ‘big budget’) and includes recognisable celebrities and television personalities and thus resembles and borrows from a traditional media model, it is designed for and distributed via the web, by digital network Crackle.
