- Do you think we will see the end of DVDs in the near future?
- How would you feel if DVDs were to stop being a primary format for media?
- What do you think is to blame for the decrease in interest for DVDs?
These questions will give me good feedback for Studio Brief 3.
Dad:
I think it will be a good while before DVDs will come to an end. I remember CDs becoming the next big thing after vinyl and they're still going very strong. There are still things that are on DVD that you can't get anywhere else which I think is a good thing as it provides a purpose for them.
It wouldn't bother me a great deal as long as everything that was available on DVD was available elsewhere. As I've said previously I buy DVDs for specialist stuff such as music and world cinema; if this was as easily as accessible as before it's just something you have to put up with.
The internet is clearly to blame as everything is so much easier. You don't have to leave the house, you don't need to spend time looking around for the product and you don't need any physical space.
Aflie:
I'm not sure exactly how long they'll be around for but I can't see them being a go-to kind of product for much longer. I think that the only people that will buy DVDs are avid collectors or people who argue that Blu-Ray's quality is higher than anything you'll get from the internet.
I'd be kind of disappointed as I personally love going and getting a new DVD, but then again I collect them and I know not everybody does so I understand that they're slowly dying to an extent. Also I've spent a lot of money on mine so it would piss me off if they become obsolete.
The likes of Netflix and iTunes makes it easier for people to quickly choose a film from their couch and play it immediately without any fuss. If these people aren't interested in the hard copies, why bother going through the trouble of buying physical DVDs?
Jack:
Unfortunately I do. Unless you're a clear collector of DVDs or you truly believe the quality is the best you can get, there is no need to go through the trouble of buying them when everything is online.
Yes but I'd understand how and why it's happened.
All of the on-demand services make almost all films ready to watch in an instant, which is what most people want.
