本研究以「網路原創劇」為研究標的,觀察其所面對的產製環境,瞭解兩岸網路影音服務的現況,補足台灣較少關心的開放性網路影音平台進展。 本研究所將探討的「製播生態」,基於「生態」研究觀點所強調的動態性,以及聚焦於以製作單位為基礎的立足點上,採納學者Scott提出的環境合法化因素與技術面資源做為本研究勾勒出「製播生態」的面向,並加入Turow權力角色的概念,進而援引傳播學者黃淑蕙為「資源」操作定義作為發展本研究發現的主要命題:分別以政策、競爭、資源依賴、權力角色與市場影響力。 本研究採取質化訪談與個案研究法,對照台灣與中國大陸「網路原創劇」個案,研究問題如下: 一、 台灣「網路原創劇」製播生態為何? 二、 中國大陸「網路原創劇」製播生態為何? 三、 台灣與中國大陸「網路原創劇」製播生態的差異為何? 四、 台灣與中國大陸「網路原創劇」的交流與未來? 研究結果發現,以網路為首要屏幕的劇種出現,歸納為「廣告平台、跨平台戲劇與短片規格」三種產製模式。中國大陸的影音網站市場邁入成熟階段,影音網站營銷能力、網路影音工作者養成已自成一格,並成為內地與台灣傳統影視人員流動的目的地、「華流集大成」的想像。
