The title to my paper is Technology, Community, and Movies. My thesis is Technology allows communities to be made through movies, and film. My research plan includes first jotting all the things about fan sites, certain films, and everything I already know about them. I plan on making a trip to the library and researching when communities first develop because of movies. I also plan on researching the first types of communities through film in history. I plan on using internet sources as well as encyclopedias, and other books; also I would like to include quotes, and or discussion from real people who join these communities to see the why and for better understanding.
The reason for using these sources would be to further explain how a community evolves from a particular movie. What type of community forms from film? My argument would be that film creates communities through technology with the use of computers and fan websites. I plan on developing my research argument by looking at a particular movie and looking at the fan websites associated with them.

I like this idea. I suspect that there are different types of people gathering at these fan sites--the visitor who has a quick question, the casual observer who lurks and gathers information, the occasional poster who will ask a question every now and then, the super-fan who answers every question, and the troll who visits every so often to poke fun of everyone on the site.
ReplyDeleteI think I would know more about what you were discussing if you chose a specific fan site, though.
I also like this idea. If you really want a huge site with a huge fan base, Oprah's facebook account is the place to go. LOL! It fits the technology and community points really well when it comes to your title.
