      abstract = {"Music videos were once something broadcast by MTV and  received on our TV screens. Today, music videos are  searched for, downloaded, and viewed on our computer  screens -- or produced in our living rooms and uploaded to  social media. In We Used to Wait, Rebecca Kinskey examines  this shift. She investigates music video as a form,  originally a product created by professionals to be  consumed by nonprofessionals; as a practice, increasingly  taken up by amateurs; and as a literacy, to be experimented  with and mastered. Kinskey offers a short history of the  music video as a communicative, cultural form, describing  the rise and fall of MTV's Total Request Live and the music  video's resurgence on YouTube. She examines recent shifts  in viewing and production practice, tracing the trajectory  of music video director Hiro Murai from film student and  dedicated amateur in the 1990s to music video professional  in the 2000s. Investigating music video as a literacy, she  looks at OMG! Cameras Everywhere, a nonprofit filmmaking  summer camp run by a group of young music video directors.  The OMG! campers and counselors provide a case study in how  cultural producers across several generations have blurred  the line between professional and amateur. Their everyday  practices remake the notion of literacy, not only by their  collaborative and often informal efforts to impart and  achieve literacy but also by expanding the definition of  what is considered a valuable activity, worthy of  dedicated, pleasurable pursuit"--Provided by publisher.},
