History
In 2008, the International Academy of Web Television or International Academy of Web Television (an organization based in Los Angeles) formed with the mission to organize and support executives, actors, producers and authors of web television was created. The organization administers the selection of the winners of the Awards Streamy (Raudalosos Awards).
In 2013, Netflix made history by winning the first nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for web site and television series House of Cards, Arrested Development and Hemlock Grove in the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards.
A series web or web series is a series created for distribution over the Internet, and is part of the emerging new medium called web television. They use scripts and are structured seasons divided into episodes, which can be called webisodes. They can be distributed for free via platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo, or by subscription or Netflix and Crackle. Being a new emerging medium marked the definition encompasses all production made for distribution for the first time on the Internet, so that is indifferent duration, thematic and gender may be real image or animation.
The standard Web format, seasons and episodes of series 5 to 15 minutes, has been delivered to the creativity and resources of its producers, so we see series with scarce resources but at the same time as other award-winning House of Cards, Netflix web television, which won nine nominations Primetime Emmy Awards in 2013. in relation to the success of the web series House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black stated: "the two stars fictions of the online platform Netflix haveIt made it clear that the traditional consumption model of the series, if there was any doubt, has changed. not only have premiered their second seasons to consume intact demand but competing on equal terms (quality, billing, actors .. .) with traditional series and also not issued a television."
The growing popularity of internet and the increasing quality of the technology to transmit video over the Internet has resulted in the distribution of the web series will be relatively cheap compared with traditional standards, enabling producers to reach a global audienceYou have access to programs 24 hours a day.
The emerging potential of successful web videos have attracted large ejetuvidos platform of entertainment in the United States, including former Disney executive and current manager of Tornante Company, Michael Eisner. The Vuguru Tornante division at Eisner joined the Canadian conglomerate Rogers Media on October 26, 2009, ensuring increased production plans for 30 new web programs annually. Rogers Media will help finance and distribute new Vuguru production of firna tak the connection between the old and new media will be solidified directly.
The web series have a rigid format as in other media. Its structure has changed over the years and is usually determined by the creators of the series in particular and the budget that you have obtained. Established that a web series is a scripted series specifically made to be released and distributed by internet we found a variation in their genres, lengths and audiovisual techniques applied.
In its most popular series are lasting from 3 to 15 minutes and your budget can be low or high. So as we lonelygirl15 series with three seasons, a total of 354 episodes lasting contained between 2 and 13 minutes. At the same time have high budget series like those produced by Netflix and Crackle web television, you have created the first House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, among others, on these two series and Crackle has created series like The Bannen Way and Chosen.
The webseries not have a specific genre, today we find a cross bet their creators. For example in Spain are the webseries "Pygmalion" and "Private Number" which are the first web series bet on Spain in the thriller genre. "The ennead" on the other side bet mystery. "Drakonianas Chronicles" by the fantastic medieval genre. "Tantalus" with a post-apocalyptic genre. Recently it has begun to explore new formats and is about to debut a web series of terror, as it has "Hex" a Venezuelan webseries and "Lost Souls" of Colombia.
The web series videoblogs differ in that the former contain a script that guides the story as video blogs tend to be While there are many who confuse both genders is not the same as a web series that a videoblog but often share characteristics. The videoblog is a video where someone is facing the camera talking about what interests you talk, this is how LG15 began. While many web series not speak to the camera but merely to show the actions rather than to relate them.
