Hinweis der Redaktion
- Saw is a horror movie franchise which consists of seven successful films in the horror genre released and produce by Twisted Pictures The first film was released in 2004, when the web and it’s users’ participatory culture were already established Since then 6 other films have been produced, including the final chapter which was released in 2010 being the last installment of the series and was filmed in 3D
- Due to its extremely violent content the franchise has attracted millions of gore fans throughout the globe, gaining an official fan site, then later on fan sites made through communities where they reproduce film material and produce fan art and animated scenes replicating the films contentSaw has entered the guinness world records as the most successful horror series, as the films have made over $730 million worldwide Fans created the SawFreaks.com website where they can share their obsession with the series with other fore addicts
- This is theprosumer community we have chosen, SawFreaks.com
- Saw Freaks is a site created by fans that allows other fans to interact with one another using forums, they share their interests from the franchise to other Saw fans and interact based on the same or similar opinions of the gore interestsThe site features games, quizzes, videos, fan art, polls and much more.
- The sites also had links that connect to Facebook which enables you to share with your friends, making it much more widespread and global so the fan community can see all over the world through the social networking sites.
- You can also follow the site on Twitter, which gives regular updates, allowing the fans to interact with the site.
- Cultural Context can be defined by our upbringing and cultural background. This refers to thoughts, opinions and feelings that result from experiences. This can be from their surroundings, the cultures norms and values. This can even be the music they’ve been listening to, or in relation to media the information they read and films they watch. Sawfreaks take on the ideas that the Saw franchise expresses and make them their own. This can be through expression with the fan art, recreating scenes from the movie’s with a twist and meeting new people with the same interests making them feel accepted.They are conscious about its effects to society but somehow encourage the influences of the film and how the film itself is influenced by the society in which it is produced.
- However, it rarely deals with the negative aspects of how society views the franchise instead it glorifies the franchise itself. Seeing as the Saw franchise is rated up to the age of 18, being technical illegal for under 18s to watch the film. But as most of us know, this isn’t the case for most of us. With its most important news being whether or not the Saw franchise will continue with another movie, it fails to deal with some of the real arguments pertaining to Saw; Is it or is it not torture porn? We can argue this with other films that give off a torture porn sense from the content, like the human centipede for example. The saw franchise was clearly created by very imaginative people, or someone very sick minded?!
- Saw fans have a strong enough interest that some changes in their lifestyles are made to accommodate devotion to the series of movie. They want to get externally involved with it and they are motivated to demonstrate their involvement though certain behaviours and the fan site www.sawfreaks.com allows them to do so.The main element that draws a fan to a film and creating that emotional attachment is the cultural attachment they have, coming back to how they have been raised and how they see everyday life. They can see a film and relate to it, and this can influence their actions from that day and influence whatever work they do based upon this action. Such as an artist creating disturbed fan art from the Saw franchise…
- Fans can sometimes also wish to acquire material objects related to the movie or join debates on forums about the traps and theories in the movie. Their culture and work are solely based on the world and theories created in the movie. But from what they feel is normal in their mind, and in the cultural environment around them they can create the ‘fan’ of whatever influences them.
- There are people who know the saw movies only from the advertisements and they assume they like the twisted traps but for the real fans its the twisted plot lines that makes them to get more involved with it and access fan sites like Saw freaks. Sites such as Saw freaks can create re-enactments of the film scenes, can create social issues such as obsessions with the unrealistic elements of the film but also draw attention to the impact the media can have on an individual.
- This is off of the saw freaks site, where a fan quotes: ‘The SAW franchise I think are the best movies in this genre and took this genre to a completely new level.’ There are other comments of peoples opinions on the site, the franchise and generally what they think of the elements of the films such as different scenes and which of the films is their favorite.
- These fans are the persons that creates the wallpapers, comics, games and videos they even explain the theories behind the movie so that everyone can understand and by doing so they, the fans which are the consumers become the producers.
- Another interesting point that Jenkins makes is that quoted, he said: 'a completely furnished world so that its fan can quote characters and episodes as if they were aspects of the private sectarian world, the work must be mastered by devoted consumers’ Linked to the saw franchise, we can argue again that the fans have become so devoted that a community is formed, and can be spread all over media platforms as well as a highly socialised site.
- Now we’re gonna talk about copyright for the Sawfreaks site
- Fan fiction and fan art communities usually have a set of rules that they follow to help preserve the longevity of their website.1. They agree to not profit from or sell copies of their creations. 2. They always proclaim that their work is unofficial and has no connection with the creators. 3. Finally, they respond to requests from the copyright holder to remove content and work with the creator as needed.We can argue that there will always be an argument whether something that is copyrighted can be used or taken off of the internet without permission, and technically it isn’t allowed but in modern society that’s how people get images they need. In terms of fan sites, they have regulations they follow to stay within copyright morals and respond to issues with the fan art for example.
- This image clearly states that it is a fan sites, and that the work on the side is just a fan creation and most importantly states that is it not an official site/They note: ‘This is a fansite about SAW. Content such as pictures, audio, video, biography and such are copyright and property to their respective owners, producers of SAW and all the people who are responsible for the franchise. This website is an unofficial and non-profit SAW fansite. And then holds a link to the official fan site.
