Produktbeschreibung

Rise of Home Video explores the fascinating journey of how watching movies at home evolved from a limited, communal activity to the personalized, on-demand experience we know today. The book dissects the technological advancements, economic shifts, and cultural impacts that propelled VHS, DVD, digital downloads, and streaming into our lives. It examines how each format reshaped consumer behavior, copyright law, and leisure itself. Did you know that the shift from studio control to consumer choice was significantly influenced by the format war between VHS and Betamax? The book highlights the ongoing tension between technological innovation and established business models within the film industry.

The book argues that each format-VHS, DVD, and digital download-marked a distinct phase in transferring power from studios to consumers, fundamentally altering how films are made, distributed, and consumed. From the advent of VHS to the rise of streaming, the book journeys through each stage, analyzing the marketing strategies, technical advantages, and cultural impacts associated with each format. It navigates the landscape that enabled the emergence of VHS, then shifts to the introduction of DVDs, exploring their superior features and impact. Finally, it delves into the digital age, examining the rise of online streaming services and the challenges of piracy.

Using primary and secondary sources, including industry reports and legal case studies, the book adopts a holistic perspective. By adopting an accessible and engaging writing style, Rise of Home Video aims to equip readers with a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the future of entertainment, allowing them to critically analyze the ongoing evolution of media consumption.
