Digital Media Exploration

Project Description

For this project I had to find and credit an image, an audio, a animated gif, and a video from the creative commons.

Image, JPG

I found this image by searching for "bikelife" in the search bar of the creative commons search portal. This photo came from the website "Nappy."

All photos uploaded to "Nappy" are licensed under Creative Commons Zero (CC0) which means users are free to use the photos and modify them however they please. Crediting the photographer is recommended but not required. The photos are allowed to be used for commercial and personal use.

Audio, MP3

The audio I chose is called Baby Life by Glokk40spaz. I downloaded the mp3 and put it on my google drive. I then got the embedded code and embedded it into my google site. Certain songs on Soundcloud are eligible for use as long as you credit the creator. This song by Glokk40spaz, posted by EBG Records is licensed under CC

Animated GIF

I accessed this GIF by searching "gif" in google. This file is licensed under, CC by SA 3.0 Deed. This file was created by Andrikkos, and there were no changes made. Since this file is licensed under CC by SA 3.0 Deed, you are free to copy, distribute and transmit the work. You can also remix, change and edit the work. If you do any of these things you must give credit to the author or creator, provide a link to the license and also state if any changes were made. If you do change the content you must "share alike," meaning "you must distribute your contributions under the same or compatible license as the original."

Video Sample

The video I chose is called "Godspeed," by Davonte Jolly. It was uploaded to Youtube on December 5th, 2020 by Illegal Civ . I chose this video because it is my favorite skate part and I've watched it countless times. This video is licensed under Youtubes standard license. Under this license you retain ownership of your video and Youtube has an exclusive right to use it. To reuse and edit the video you must have permission from the creator. Youtube also allows creators to mark their video with a Creative Commons CC BY license. This license entails that you retain your copyright, other creators can reuse your work subject to the terms of the license, the entire YouTube community can reuse and edit your video. Jolly, D.

Lessons Learned

During this project I learned about the different media types and how to credit them. I really have never had to credit anything before except for sources for papers and essays and that type of thing. I have never learned about all the different Creative Commons licenses so that was interesting to learn about.
