Showtime tapping into prosumer desires
From the Arizona Daily Wildcat, by Julie Wetmore:
"Freshman Diaries," a 12-part series documenting the trials and triumphs of freshmen experiencing their first year of college, is being filmed on the University of Arizona campus...More than 250 applications, from a base of nearly 6,000 freshmen at the UA, have been turned in so far. Project organizers expect roughly 500 students to apply, the project’s executive producer R.J. Cutler said.
All the selected students are given a digital video camera and will undergo a weekly instruction class focused on creating video diaries.
