Thus far in the semester, I have collected valuable websites in order to build a database from which to create my theory about multimedia creativity and authorship. From the readings, I have been exposed to various methods and points of view to help me think of my topic in relation to authors, copyright, and remix culture. These resources have allowed me to create a theory and multimedia presentation.
I believe that I have built a solid starting point for my theory. My Diigo bookmarks range from copyright rules on YouTube to fan websites dedicated to Twilight to Stephenie Meyer's official website dealing with copyright infringement. These resources help me understand the fascination and nature of Twilight fans that drives them to create videos and remixes of the series. My goal is to be able to understand the fan base sector that actually creates the videos and what they hope to achieve through these multimedia expressions. Also, the bookmarks dealing with copyright issues allow me to determine what constitutes a violation of copyright laws.
In my project so far, I have been able to come up with a theory about multimedia authors, discuss fans' creative remixes of Twilight, and rethink copyright laws in this new, technologically fueled world. In order to keep working on my project, I need to collect and peruse more websites to extend my current theories.
