Summary

The period of confinement, by restricting access to the outside world and by limiting most leisure activities to the home, modified the relationship of individuals to culture, particularly in its active dimension. This period was, in fact, "conducive to a (re) investment in amateur practices": music, dance, graphic arts, photography but also audio and video editing.

Thanks to the development of digital tools, the practice of audio and video editing has doubled in ten years, rising from 4% of French people aged 15 and over in 2008 to 9% in 2018. In 2018, it concerned 19% of 15-19 year olds compared to 4% of those aged 60 and over.

During confinement, 14% of French people say they have engaged in audio and video editing (+5 points). The increase is even more marked among 15-24 year olds (+12 points): it goes from 17% to 29%.observe

"More than one individual in five who teleworks has also developed this activity, teleworking presupposes being in possession of computer equipment, which is necessary for editing". "If the proportion of employees and workers performing audio and video editing is increasing (+4 points), the practice of executives and intermediate professions is slightly decreasing, even if they remain the most enthusiastic about this activity.exceptional waveCultural Practices of the Ministry of Culture

  • These results come for 2008 and 2018 from the Pratiques Culturelles survey and for 2020 from the Living Conditions and Aspirations survey conducted by Crédoc during the confinement.
  • The survey measures the practice of audio-video editing since 2008. The practice of audio and video editing is the subject of a separate modality in the 2018 survey among the list of activities practiced as an amateur. For the survey collected in 2008, it is possible to approach this concept by using a question asked about digital practices, without the question being stamped "amateur practice."
