Crowdsourcing

I think crowdsourcing is a really good way to harness different creative styles to create one final product. It’s always great to have more than one person to do the work, especially in films because it allows for different thoughts to intermingle, which can create really great end products. Film is a collaborative business. Websites such as Kickstarter that use crowdfunding have always been fascinating to me because it’s such a surprising way to have a movie be funded. It’s also a great resource for smaller start-ups that cant afford big budgets but still have great ideas.


The fact that Wikipedia started as just a small group of volunteers is so interesting especially because of what it’s become. However, I think there are also downsides to it because sometimes the information is unreliable because anyone can go onto Wikipedia and edit the content. Even though Wikipedia is an amazingly useful source of information, it still comes with cons.
