Web series is a different avenue in which consumers can just produce their own shows. There are several advantages to a Web series such as being short and sweet, bringing concepts to the table that other shows don’t and leeway. In the several Web series that we touched upon in class all have similar aspects. The couple and the guild are both fairly short and seemed to have a flexible script. Youtube can provide those with enough views to be paid for them being such a hit but they also make their own shows. I think it is evident when Youtube makes a web series because of the advertisements and their choice un topics. It is hard to distinguish between a web series and shows that were made from Netflix or Amazon. Web series allow a freedom of expression and can sometimes take off such as shows like Awkward Black Girl and the Couple. Some people even start out as a character on a web series and get chosen to appear in a tv show. There’s certain characteristics that web series have that differs from a regular show such as direct address. Some arbitrary shows do this like the show House of Cards has this characteristic where they speak to the audience and that they are aware that they are a show. In a usual show where the music is important for dramatic affect, web series do not really depend on music, they depend on the context. It is obvious most web series are low budget but that adds to the relatable aspect of web series. Since they look like they’re in regular houses and a very colloquial script it is more relatable and seemed more realistic than most shows on TV. The life style of TV is diminishing and a new era of television is taking over such as Netflix and web series where the consumer gets to choose what they want to watch and we have a voice. The new platforms are breaking down the old conventions of TV and reinventing the image of tv.
