A "Let's Play" Phenomenon
Pleskač, Matěj ; BENDOVÁ, Helena (advisor) ; VLACH, Jiří (referee)
This thesis focuses on a new form of audio-visual works called Let's Play videos. Authors produce them while playing videogames themselves, using a screen capture software which records the gameplay in the native screen resolution. Videos are usually shared via web streaming platform YouTube and attract millions of viewers worldwide, despite their production requires minimal costs compared to the film industry. After introducing the platform itself and clarifying why are the creators (YouTubers) so popular, core of this paper presents author's own Let's Play videos categorization including brief subject and style analysis of specific works. Main research question is whether watching Let's Plays is valuable just for gamers themselves or can be interesting for other viewers to. Last chapter deals with the copyright protection system Content ID in relation to Let's Play videos as derivative work.
