Digital Media Exploration

Project description

For this project I was tasked with finding and sharing different samples of media types from Creative Commons and properly crediting them.

Animation Sample - Animated GIF

To the right is an example of an animated gif that I found on DeviantArt.

An animated gif is an image encoded in graphics interchange format, which contains a number of images or frames in a single file and is described by its own graphic control extension. The frames are presented in a specific order in order to convey movement. An animated gif can loop endlessly or be designed to stop after a set number of sequences.

I saved this animated gif of Spider-Man swinging from DeviantArt and then uploaded it to my website.

I could not find any licensing information or sharing limitations, so I will credit and link to the original source and follow the TASL rule of thumb, which stands for Title, Author, Source, and License.

Title: Spiderman Webslinging
Author: Z-studious

video Sample - youtube

To the left is a an example of an embedded video.

This video is about one can use Google and the internet for learning and the different tactics that you should use to optimize your search results.

I embedded this video from YouTube, which offers a embed code, however, there was no usage policy or licensing information on the video.

According to the TedTalks about page:

TED's videos may be used for non - commercial purposes under a Creative Commons License, Attribution - NonComemercial - No Derivates (aka CC BY - NC - ND 4.0 International), and in accordance with our TED Talks Usage Policy.

Lessons Learned

This project taught me the value of knowing what type of media your dealing with and how to credit them accordingly. A lot of times when we are looking for digital media to upload in our personal projects such as images in PowerPoints we often go to Google and just copy and paste an image without thinking about where the image is coming from and who it belongs to. While in some cases images can be freely used, theirs others in which they cannot. However, by knowing what type of media your dealing with and how to credit them accordingly you can ensure that yours and others people digital media is being protected.
