Crowd sourcing

This film is a great idea of how people come together to make a film. This is because any body could do a 15 second clip in the film and they could have up to 5 scenes and this meant that thousands of people got involved with the new project. started in 2009 and was finished and produced to the public in 2012. The project an emmy in 2010 for creative achievement.

1. How have online media developed?
It has allowed many people come together to create films that may not have existed without the internet,  david gauntlet stated that this will allow people to pass the media gods and start having an impact.

2. What has been the impact of the internet on media production.
It has allowed many more people to start making their own film with the star wars uncut as more than 1000 people helped make this new project happen.

3.How is consumer behaviour and audience response transformed by online media, in relation to the past?
This has allowed more people to watch and contribute with media due to the internet were as in the past you just had to sit back and let the media gods distribute media down to us.

4. To what extent has convergence transformed the media?
because there is more convergence in the present time it has allowed more people to watch and use the internet when they are not at a computer. So this allows people to watch short films or films when they are out and about if they get board. So this has giving the little people a voice as they may be able to get more people watching if they are only short films as some people may only have 10 minuets to watch a film and see the short film.
