Digital Media

Project Description

This project is designed to display students abilities regarding locating and sourcing digital media in an ethical manner. Students are to embed an image, animation, video, and song that are ethically sourced and briefly discuss where the digital media came from.

Image

I used Creative Commons to search OpenClipArt for this image. The image was created by dripsandcastle and uploaded uploaded on December 13, 2018. The image depicts simple diagram of rocket engine fuel turns into pressure in the nozzle.

Animation

I got this gif from Tenor. I know the person who made this and it was never copywrite. They also have given me permission to use it.

Video

This is a video I made this week. Most of the music I use in my videos is copyright but YouTube autodetects this fact and ensures that the creator has allowed for use of the content before allowing me to post. In my experience, every music artist allows for use of most of their content on YouTube, even if it is copyright. YouTube will typically automatically display the song name and artist of any detectable music in the video description.

Song

I used Creative Commons to search Soundcloud. I found this song that I had never heard by an artist I used to listen to while studying. The artists that made the song are Vindu and Raimu.

Lessons Learned

I think many of the resources and databases for accessing digital media that is available for use will be useful for academic and professional projects in the future. They are definitely an easy and quick way to get content that is known to be available for use. I also realized that YouTube sometimes does not detect the music that I am using and cite it in the description. So I started to credit the music artist in the video description if YouTube does not do it automatically.
