My path of inquiry for the course will be the new technology of online sponsorship and backing for media based projects.
In another course that I am taking with Professor Kermani, I am working on a short film. The project itself is going to be really great, in fact I did a little research into expanding the end product into a film that can be presented in film festivals. Of course, this all takes funding. I came across a website called Kickstarter.com which allows people with ideas to present to investors in a fresh manner involving new technology. This I believe is going to change the ways that creative people think and will allow ideas to become reality for people that previously may not have had the resources to fund their projects without shaking their piggy bank.
With my research and final project, I will build my own project on the kickstarter website, showcasing the film from storyboard to clips from the final edit, all with the hope of securing the funding needed to move to the next step. With any success, we will meet our mark and the project will be greenlighted.
I feel that this proposal will show a great example of how business in the new era of media and web 2.0 has evolved and is going in a positive direction.
