Specificity of Audiovisual Non-Scripted Formats on Media Platforms (Television, Streaming Services and Videohostings)

Emergency of new video content distribution platforms (such as online video platforms and streaming services) as main TV competitors have become crucial both for audience content consumption practices and audiovisual content itself. Previous studies have focused on transformation of consumers’ practices rather than on the significant differences of content on these platforms. In this study, we aim to investigate the key format differences between non-scripted content of various audiovisual content distribution platforms and to explore how transformation of consumers’ social practices influences the features of audiovisual formats at the stages of its development and production. For this purpose, we will employ case study method, genre, structural, dramatic analyses. Taken together, the findings of this research will have important implications for the field of TV format, telecommunications and media studies.
