Over the past decade, the video camera has become a commonplace
household technology. With falling prices on compact and
easy-to-use cameras, as well as mobile phones and digital still
cameras with video recording capabilities, access to moving image
production technology is becoming virtually universal. Home Truths?
represents one of the few academic research studies exploring this
everyday, popular use of video production technology, looking
particularly at how families use and engage with the technology and
how it fits into the routines of everyday life. The authors draw on
interviews, observations, and the participants' videos themselves,
seeking to paint a comprehensive picture of the role of video
making in their everyday lives. While readers gain a sense of the
individual characters involved in the project and the complexities
and diversities of their lives, the analysis also raises a range of
broader issues about the nature of learning and creativity,
subjectivity and representation, and the ""domestication"" of
technology-issues that are of interest to many in the fields of
sociology and media/cultural studies.
