Documentário colaborativo: modos de produção no ciberespaço

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the collaborative creation in cyberspace, exploring how new social practices and technological changes impact the production and consumption of documentaries. To understand these emerging creative processes, the study adopted a strategy of literature review; empirical observation and evaluation of case studies. Increasingly, the concept of crowdsourcing (Howe, 2008) is applied to cultural projects. The term characterizes the meeting of several individuals through public invitation to achieve a common goal. The Internet has become an aggregator space for filmmakers, audience, the corporate world, among others. The integration of multiple knowledge and resources is perceived in various stages of the creation cycle, encompassing financing, development of content and circulation. However, these relationships are not free of conflict because different agents may have different goals and interests. The inventive freedom usually follows guidelines that do not meet existing rules of copyright. This multiplicity of voices is employed in accomplishments that adopt the traditional audiovisual language, obeys the premise of linear narrative, conduces to the emergence of multimedia projects in a way that storytelling becomes as innovative as its production flow. These are initiatives of collective authorship, works constantly renewed through the ongoing contribution of social actors.
