Have online videos lowered the standards of television production?

I don’t think that online videos have lowered the standards of television. It is now easier to create good videos without the most expensive equipment and the professional programmes used in television productions. Many more people are being discovered by creating domestic videos using their standard video equipment in their household and most of the time it can come up to scratch with professional productions. Today the equipment used in professional television is the same as what people use in their home to create videos. They can both produce the same quality of work it’s just how you decide to use them. If the equipment is being used in a domestic environment it is very rare they will do anything with the footage after it has been shot but in professional productions there is big post production work done on the footage which makes the difference. The videos that are put on to television are never left the way they have been shot, if they are going to be shown on television they are always altered but the people that put up domestic videos on to online sites they are not touched up or altered in any way to make them look better. You can easily diminish a domestic video from a professional television production. I think having online videos becoming a lot more popular because you can get new ideas in ways of shooting and people who are coming up with these ideas are being recognised for their work, whereas if you see something on television you don’t really take much notice of the way it has been done or who came up with the idea.
