Working from a case study that examined an example of online video practice called ‘video review’, we used parody (a subset of the comedy genre), as a device to understand the non-narrative structure and stylistic techniques used to make a video review. Our group plans to explore what the narrative and non-narrative forms of other types of online video practice reveal when parody is used as a device to examine their form.
What can we learn about online video practices though the process of using parody to examine form?
How can what we learn through this process be used to inform the development of a hybrid narrative/non-narrative form of online video practice?
Our research inquiry makes a contribution towards highlighting the varying stylistic techniques and narrative-non-narrative forms that exist in online video practices.
