Choosing Your Community Discussion 2 months, 2 weeks ago I am still struggling to pick a single community for this assignment; I am interested in the film preservation community and fiction writers. However, I still need to narrow my focus on one subject within the community. For film preservation, I was interested in how the restoration of films for older films has resulted in a conflict between the director and the fans. For example, James Cameron criticized his fans for “reviewing [his] grain structure” for the 4K restoration of his film Aliens. For this community, I would consider their definition of restoration quality and how they use it to critique restored films. But, again, I am unsure if I will be focusing on this community. I am still considering the fiction writers’ community and concentrating on how fantasy writers seek information for their world-building.
@cchristine The focus of all of the assignments in 200 is on the information behaviors and needs of an ion community. How I could see your Cameron example working would be researching the info behaviors and needs of film restoration fans and how they create and share info. Im thinking of all the YT’ers that made videos critiquing the Cameron’s 4K releases. Fiction writers and info behaviors and needs would work well.
