Have Online Videos Lowered The Standards Of Television Production?

With millions of home made videos being uploaded on to video sharing site such as Youtube every day, domestic productions have never been more popular. Video technolgy is easily acquired so anyone can make their own shows and even whole series of programmes just with a  £50 camera and a computer. People have become sensations just from these videos but with so many people making their own programmes it has slightly devalued professional productions.

 While people still enjoy professional productions, quality is no longer an issue with viewers. They will happily watch a low quality home movie and enjoy it just as much as a high quality professional production. Professional production will use  high quality, high definition and expensive camera equipment and the lastest editing software to optimise the quality of their final products whereas most domestic productions are done with a cheap video camera and a home computer with basic editing software.
