Digital Media Exploration

Project Description

In this project, I've found 4 different media types from Creative Commons and sampled them below so you can better understand digital media types!

Image Sample - JPG

I found these images by searching for "Tesla" on the Unsplash website.

I downloaded the medium-sized images and uploaded it here.

This image is called Tesla Model 3 by Stefan Lehner Licensed under Unsplash.

Audio Sample - MP3

I've linked a file below called Crickets Chirping I chose this sample because I've used it in video editing to add the effects of crickets.

I downloaded this file from a YouTube video then uploaded it to my Google Drive and embedded it onto my website.

This audio is free to use under Public Domain. Which means it can be shared and edited.

Animated Sample - Animated GIF

This is an animated gif I found on Giphy.com

A gif is similar to a video but usually short with no sound. They use multiple images to create an animated look.

I used the share option from the Giphy website and was able to put the animation on my website.

Video Sample - YouTube

This is an example of an embedded video.

This video is a view of the Golden Gate Bridge from 12 years ago.

I found the video on the Creative Commons website, copied the link, and put it on my website.

Lessons Learned:

I learned more details about social media types and what the different types are called and when and why they're used. I also learned about the Creative Commons website and how to correctly credit things that I may use that someone else has created.
