Crowdsourcing Media

Crowdsourcing is to gather different ideas from many people to achieve a same goal or to perform a same idea. Most of the time, in order to obtain an idea, the creators will subdivide the work to people who will contribute with certain rules when they pitch in ideas for the overall main idea. In the panting industry crowdsourcing is used in many ways, one of the best examples would be where different painters draw separably and when put together it can become a mural or a collage. Crowdsourcing is also wildly used in film industry, "Star Wars Uncut" is a famous example, which is an online activity that allows people from all over the world to shoot a small part of "Star Wars" movies and upload them, editors will put clips together into new Star Wars movies. Crowdsourcing can be seen as a new type of media, it's easy to spread out topic information through the Internet, which can quickly receive other's support at the same time. Also, it's cheap to make crowdsourcing films since most of the time people would provide their little ideas for free. Crowdsourcing gives the opportunity for many people to contribute towards something big. It is also like how open-source material is distributed online. The general is taken from the main source then altered or improved to make it better or more appealing to everyone. Most of the time, the idea that was first put out to the public has been completely changed into something different. The finished product will be made up all of the contributors that sought to make something even better.
