Reflection #8 Sarah Sumsion

Today in class we continued to work on our digital story. We searched for copyright accessible images and audio.

This assignment continues to be overwhelming to me. Seems there is no end in sight. Our class had SO many questions today and we all seemed to have different answers regarding copyright rules and grading. Some were saying it didn't matter the copyright issues. Some said we can only have 30% copyrighted materials (although the rubric says nothing about that). Some said we post the URLs at the end of the video, while others said we need to post the "authors" names at the end of the video in the credits. HELP!

Now what...we keep chugging along. I was grateful for a tip from a professional video producer who suggested flickr as a resource for images.  I found all the copyright info next to each image. That was so handy. However, the "attribution" requirements were unclear. Creative commons would say we need to recognize the contributor in the way they specify--but where do we find that? I hope we will be graded with our experience (or lack thereof) in video making considered. We are not professionals, nor are we highly experienced.
