Vague thread

I replaced the words Star Wars with Vague for this thread.



Vague Revelations is a film done and created by the fans. It is a film which is easily relatable if someone is a fan of the Vague, if they are not a fan of the series then they would not be able to relate to it. Vague was a blockbuster film which created a huge fan base with their very first movie and continued to grab people’s attention. Fans felt a sense of ownership and pride when watching Vague Revelations, that it created this spreadable medium between fans.
Henry Jenkins, Sam Ford, and Joshua Green would view Vague Revelations as spreadable source of means, because this movie gives fans the sense of community which reaches several access points for grabability, and quoteability. Jenkins argues in his book Spreadable Media that spreadability works, and it has changed the playing field for companies and producers. “The question is ‘of what’. Everyone has a sphere where they fell comfortable exerting agency- maybe it’s their work, maybe it’s raising their children, maybe it’s collecting stamps. Outside of that sphere, most people are creators only within carefully limited circumstances; most people cannot draw, but anyone can color inside lines, or trace” (Jenkins, Ford, & Green, 157). Looking into Vague Revelations if you are not a fan of Vague you will not understand the film which was produced and created by fans. The fans that created this film relate to other fans because there is a sense of grabability and quoteability; they understand the story behind the story.

It is no surprise to Jenkins that the Vague Revelations was a huge success story. The Vague community already has spreadability within their network. Social media such as Facebook, and Twitter have helped make media forms s...
In conclusion Jenkins brings up a lot of great topics of spreadable media and that is why Vague Revelation falls under this category. Even though this film does not interest everyone it interest the fans of Vague and since Vague already had a big fan base the medium went viral. Fans appreciated the fact, that Vague Revelation was relatable to other Vague films. They also admired the fact that MeeseeksAndDestroy is a thespian and they created this ambiguous film with a budget of 20,000 dollars. The creators and producers of the fan based film did not care about seeking out new fans, which was not their intended audience. They wanted to create a film where the fans could relate, laugh and share the context within that community.
