6. What is Crowdsourcing?
"Crowdsourcing is a type of participative online activity in
which an individual, an institution, a non-profit organization,
or company proposes to a group of individuals of varying
knowledge, heterogeneity, and number, via a flexible open
call, the voluntary undertaking of a task. The undertaking of
the task, of variable complexity and modularity, and in which
the crowd should participate bringing their work, money,
knowledge and/or experience, always entails mutual benefit.
The user will receive the satisfaction of a given type of need,
be it economic, social recognition, self-esteem, or the
development of individual skills, while the crowdsourcer will
obtain and utilize to their advantage that what the user has
brought to the venture, whose form will depend on the type
of activity undertaken"

in bringing a movie into distribution.”
Jordan Glazier, Eventful’s chief executive

- Point is that even a venerable brand like Star Wars can benefit from crowdfunding. Crowdfunding is not just for new enterpreneurs trying to release avant-garde work.
- Explain what Star Wars Uncut involved. Needed 473 scenes but received over 1,000. Show the clip.- Go through Scope, Cost, and Distribution- Point out that it won a 2010 Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media - Fiction
What happens when everyone has access to a plethora of ideas such as Amazon Studios?What happens when crowdfunding makes financing a film or TV series easier than ever before? What happens when everyone can create a film with a cell phone?Two major implications I can think of are 1)Crowdsourcing empowers individuals and companies to produce stories and develop brands in ways otherwise not possible.Filmmakers are using crowdsourcing techniques to put together films that otherwise wouldn’t be possible to produce.2) The cheapening of art/entertainment?

A great example of how SM was used in distribution of an entertainment product is Paramount’s use of eventful for their Paranormal Activity, which started screening in select cities in 2007 and in 2009 was released worldwide. Why was PA a success story? Because it was produced with a $15k budget and went on to gross over $190M worldwide."Paranormal" started popping up in cities and college markets for select midnight shows. Positive buzz went viral via Twitter and Facebook, and Paramount teamed with entertainment planning site Eventful to submit demands for the movie to be screened in their hometowns. From there, cities with the most demands got the movie, and the online buzz grew louder. The big breakthrough came after Paramount and Eventful dared 1,000,000 people to submit demands to see "Paranormal" in order for the movie to go national, which it did, just in time to scare up a high gross during Halloween season. Can show screenshot of Evenful, etc.How exactly did a $15,000 fright flick became a $100 million plus hit? "Paranormal" started popping up in cities and college markets for select midnight shows.

Before showing the contents:Q: Ask people what are some unconventional ways they’ve seen the ent. Industry use SM for promotion?
The new Facebook App is called the TRONiVerse. The application acts as a social media aggregator for all things Tron. It automatically pulls in posts, videos and photos from social networks like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Flickr and displays it on an interactive “grid.” Users can modify what kind of content they see by network or geographical location. Right now, with more than 700,000 individual posts collected, Disney is gearing it up to become a go-to hub for Tron’s social media presence.Original TRON: 1982.A sequel titled Tron: Legacy was directed by Joseph Kosinski and was released on December 17, 2010
Another ‘unconventional’ way is to use FB timeline like a historian would. The TV series Dallas does exactly this. Because the movie’s timeline starts in year 1979, they present information about key incidents back then, through the timeline. Here’s a screenshot… (NEXT SLIDE)http://www.facebook.com/DallasTNT?ref=ts&fref=ts
Q: Can we see this type of thing applied for a new product launch?What about Campbell’s soup?
Back in June 2011, Lionsgate teamed up with thismoment.com, a startup social media management site, to launch a yearlong digital campaign for The Hunger Games.October included another Twitter stunt, this time meant to allow those ID makers to campaign online to be elected mayor of various districts of Panem. November marked the iTunes release of the main trailer, which received eight million views in its first 24 hours. On Dec. 15, 100 days before the movie’s release, the studio created a new poster and cut it into 100 puzzle pieces. It then gave digital versions of those pieces to 100 Web sites and asked them to post their puzzle piece on Twitter in lockstep. Fans had to search Twitter to put together the poster, either by printing out the pieces and cutting them out or using a program like Photoshop. “The Hunger Games” trended worldwide on Twitter within minutes.
TheCapitol.pm was launched in Aug 29, 2011.Facebook: Over 800,000 fans so far have become virtual citizens of Panem, the fictional country in the novel, by visiting the Capitol Network, The Hunger Games main Facebook page, and registering their District pass, or digital ID card, that makes them a part of a district. From there, fans are assigned an occupation and prompted to join their specific District’s Facebook page.She and her team then launched a site called TheCapitol.pn that allowed fans to register for a district--a key component of the campaign. “That gave them an identity for this Hunger Games community, and it gave them an active role.” Fans could create their own district badges on Facebook, where they would connect to their district communities and be active participants.
Tumblr: Fans who want to learn how to dress like they’re from the Capitol can visit the fashion magazine-inspired Capitol CoutureTumblr page and read stories on fashion trends and culture in the Capitol.
Goal: maintain momentumAlso, creating roles within the communities
Very creative and original
Assigning separate hashtag comes from: “Those really helped us trend because each one of those milestones had its own identity and helped it to spread so easily” (Lionsgate’s SVP Digital Marketing)

When we look at the graphs and data on Twitter, we can see the peaks and valleys around the calls-to-action — the tweets, the hashtags and the performances, It is like watching The Matrix where they pull massive amounts of data. there are upwards of 3,000 tweets per minute, and when you're seeing that many tweets, one can really see trends and sentiment right way.Filtering tweets live becomes really interesting because as the show is progressing, the conversation around the show really transforms.-----------------------"We have to make sure it fits within broadcast standards, and we want to keep the tweets super fresh and relevant to what the viewers are seeing on TV."

We have learnt that a 9% increase in social media buzz, results in a 1% increase in ratings, (as shown by the video and also our class readings)…but it will be worth exploring the extent to which the advertising $ increase as a result of this increase in ratings…
The script writer of a suspenseful movie thriller recently passed away. He had written his script in bits and pieces and had been unable to put the story together. Some of his written parts have also gone missing. The producer of the movie has decided to crowd source ideas to complete the missing parts of the script in order to develop an intriguing storyline. There are three parts to the script (Part 1, 2,3). The connectors A and B to the two parts have gone missing.
