unboxings
Filmed product reveals
Unboxings are videos or social media posts documenting the opening of a new product, typically consumer electronics or collectibles.
The format captures first impressions and builds anticipation as packaging is removed layer by layer: I watched a few unboxings before deciding which laptop to buy.
The genre thrives on the appeal of vicarious acquisition.
