Introduction
This Project has tasked us with searching for examples of different forms of media (Image/Graphic, Animation, Audio, and Video) to share to our websites as well as the licensing information that goes with each specific media sample.
Audio Sample-Wav
Description
This Audio Sample is of a train horn that I found on the website freesound. I have used Freesound many times in the past for different projects for my magnet in highschool. It is a free audio sharing site where users can upload and download audio files that are shared under creative commons licenses.
This particular Audio is titled "steam train horn 02" and was uploaded by the user eliasheunick on December 1st, 2012.
I downloaded this audio straight from the site and then uploaded it into my google drive in order to embed it on this website page.

Animation Sample-Animated GIF
Desription
I found this Animated GIF by searching "Technology" on the website GIPHY.
This Animated GIF came up which is from a scene in the movie Napoleon Dynamite.
I was able to copy the embed code straight from the GIPHY site and use that to embed this GIF on this website page.
The GIPHY website also provided a source link which led to a reddit post that contained this GIF.
Licensing Information
I could not find any specific licensing information or sharing limitations for this GIF so I will be providing the Title, Author, Source, and License.

Video Sample-YouTube
Description
This is the official music video for the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley that came out in 1987. This YouTube Video is famous for something internet trolls call "Rick Rolling" in which people will send links to this YouTube video (usually disguised as something else) in order to trick people into clicking on and listening to this song. An interesting fact about this video is that it was recently remastered in 4k (which can also be found on YouTube).
I found this video by searching "never gonna give you up official music video" on the YouTube website and embedded it by copying and pasting the URL into the Embed tab on google sites.
Licensing Information
The Description of this video on YouTube contained a tab labeled "LICENSES" which then contained this information:

In addition to this I will be providing the Title, Author, Source, and License.

Lessons Learned
This project taught me a lot. It not only gave me more insight into the different types of media and where they can be found/how they can be retrieved, but it taught me about the creative commons and the different types of licenses that can be under creative commons. It also gave me some insight into how to correctly give credit to those who publish media on the internet that I wasn't familiar with before. Overall I really enjoyed doing this project and exploring the different types of media and licenses.
