Digital Media Exploration

Project Description

For this lesson I searched for an image, audio, gif, and video. I had to conceptualize the licensing to ensure I was sharing the content ethically.

Image (jpg)

I used the Creative Commons website to search for images of the "Chesapeake Bay" on flickr .

I downloaded the original size versions from Flickr and then uploaded them to my website.

This image is shared under the CC BY-SA 2.0 DEED. Which means anyone can:

Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially.

Audio (mp3)

WATRWave_Sea waves (ID 0266)_BSB.mp3

I searched on Google for "downloadable audio file on ocean waves" to find this media above. After downloading as an mp3, I uploaded onto my google drive to then copy that URL and embed onto my ePortfolio.

Animation (GIF)

I searched on google for "sailing gifs" and found a classic. I copied the embeded code and pasted onto my ePortfolio.

I searched the website for my use permissions and found:

Video (embedded from a video service)

I was sent this video by a friend and searched again to copy the embeded code to paste on my ePortfolio.

YouTube took down their licensing information on each video a few years ago. I found some information on their Terms of Service page.

Lessons Learned

This lesson helped me better understand the challenge and ethical dilliema of downloading digital media. I found a wide range of access from the artist having no limitations to needed to give appropriate credit to the artist. I can get behind giving credit where credit is due.
