AMR- Case Studies

We have decided to look at 3 different case studies within our research these include:

Pottermore

This is a website about the seven book Harry Potter series. It’s a partnership between the author J.K Rowling and Sony to develop a site in which it allows fans to engage in an intereactive online experience that complemented the books.



Twitterature

A few years ago great works of literature were appearing on twitter in a slightly different way than we had ever read them before. Books were being shortened into 140 character tweets, with the hash tag Twitterature or Twitlit.  Not just known books were appearing, members of twitter were creating their own stories and poems. This shows the different possibilities on multiple platforms when it comes to creative collaborations.


Star wars uncut
This was a 2010 fan film remake of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. It was a shot for shot recreation of the films made from 473 fifteen-second segments that were created and submitted by fans of Star Wars. At first George Lucas, the creator of star wars, did not like it, he felt that they were taking his story away from him but agreed eventually because he found that because of this project the fan base grew. This type of project shows how far fans and audiences are willing to get involve; this is also an example of crowed sourcing.
