So i was reading other peoples blog posts, as any normal teenager would do in their spare time, and i was reading Shannen’s post about the week 2 reading. She mentioned various types of film that YouTube is populated with, including the “dodgy recording of a concert you went to the other night.”

I had already talked about the cat video side, and the professional side, but yes! i forgot about this side! The fan-cam side! And, this is important, because apart from actual intended documentaries which are published on the site, this is the interactive documentary side of YouTube. Okay, so every film can be considered documentary because it is a product of the society it was created in, i know, but, this is the closest to ‘traditional’ documentary in an interactive way that i can think of right now. People taking direct footage of an event and uploading it. Although in most cases they and other people never watch it again, so they just wasted  a large chunk of the concert experience trying to film it- ANYWAY, i have already talked about this in the past. Actually, if nobody else watches it, what is it? what does that mean? …I really don’t have the energy to think about these questions right now.
