Week+2+Video

media type="file" key="Deadiliest Catch.wmv"

This video was a real challenge and fun in the process. This week has been many items over the copyright issues and what teachers can truely use and for what length of time. I recreated a commerical for the "Deadiliest Catch", which my family just loves. I wanted to keep the feel of what the show was about without stepping all over what they have already and watching how much music and DiscoveryEducation video I used.

Whne I came across the Stanford Copyright and Fairuse Article it placed some items in prespective. I knew many items about music and poetry but really diving into all aspects is a lot to keep up with. I saved this document to keep going back to for the position that I am in. Many teachers do not realize that when a student creates a project that they are able to burn or copy it once. I can see how many think that because they created this work and not all of it is original that it is theirs to make as many copies as they want.

When I created this video I kept that in mind that all of it is not original and I did borrow some of the music and video but i kept within the guidelines and made sure that I listed my sources. This comes to play that many students and teachers feel that because they cited the source that they can use it as many times as they want.

Now I am, still not feeling well at this point and lost my video twice but was able to piece it back together. It was not in its greatest form in fading in ad out of the music to narration but I was able to complete it.
