Digital Media Exploration

Project Description

For this project, I had to collect creative commons samples of various media kinds and properly attribute them.

Image Sample - JPG

I found this image by Googling "Sunset" on the Creative Commons website. I took a medium-sized image from Flickr and place it on my website.

Classical Violin Minor by TheFlyFishingFilmmaker

Audio Sample -MP3

To the left is a sample audio file called Violin Sound. I chose it because it reminded me of the violin sound used in old Arabic songs.

Animation Sample - Animated GIF

This is an animated gif I found on DeviantArt. An animated gif is an image file that comprises many frames of an image that are shown in sequence to imitate motion. This animation gift was downloaded from DeviantArt and put on my website.

Video Sample -YouTube

This is an example of a video that has been embedded. Unexpected change, such as an accident, sickness, or a sudden breakdown of a relationship, is unavoidable – and confusing. Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist, offers three questions to consider when faced with uncertainty in order to let go of rigidity and welcome change in a passionate and hopeful take on life's curveballs.

Lessons Learned

This project taught me many things. It not only provided me with a better understanding of the many sorts of media and where they can be found/retrieved, but it also taught me about creative commons and the various types of licenses that may be under creative commons. It also taught me how to properly acknowledge people that post things on the internet that I was unfamiliar with previously. Overall, I had a great time working on this project and learning about different forms of media and authorizations.
