#3 Crowd-sourcing readings

Its interesting to be able to manipulate a series of clips (specified as a single idea) from various sources into one whole film; this creates a whole new way of viewing the vastness of social media and interplanetary connectivity. On top of it all is that crowd-souring isn't the only form of it's kind, but there are others such as crowd-source design and crowd-funding that each have their own productive traits. Crowd-source design is receiving "feedback" from a wide variety of people who are just as committed to find and create the perfect design for your business or company, personal use etc. Now crowd-funding is (in brief terms) kind of like a polite way to beg for money, and this money would be used for budgets like kick-starters for movies, or even impending projects you may want to start receiving money for. That would be in case you wanted to prepare yourself for anything, in my opinion. Probably the more relevant task our class will be performing is the crowd-sourcing type that is 'design'; we're creating a numerically symbolized section of a short film that revolves around the number four. In doing so, each group is contributing their portions of film to this experimental short film by shooting something (filmed as planned) that relates to that particular number, and that's not at all copyrighted. Each group has chosen mainly different topics so that the variety of shots vary; the point of each scene is to have the meaning of that shot noticeable. Overall, this project is an example of a portion that defines the term crowd-sourcing.
