//[Where are the missing videos, folks?]//


 * YouTube - common formal conventions:**
 * static cameras
 * long takes / fast edits & jump cuts
 * direct / dialogic address to viewer (voiceovers / eyeline)
 * depth of field
 * indoor (often domestic) settings
 * blank backgrounds & green screen fx
 * text
 * slideshow aesthetic (from PowerPoint on steroids to Chris Marker)


 * Relevant concepts:**
 * hypermediacy and remediation (Bolter and Grusin) - [|see also Henry Jenkins' blog post on YouTube and vaudeville]
 * carnivalesque (Bakhtin) [LG: I and my co-authors discuss the relevance of this concept in the YouTube paper I posted up on CECIL]
 * interpellation (Louis Althusser)
