Week 8 - Tutorial Task

I have now overcome the issues with copyright by doing an advanced search on Creative Commons by going to advanced search and making the modification to use strict filtering. There are fewer photos to choose from but as we only need around six photos for our movie, I am still able to find enough relevant pictures. My tutor, Lauren showed me how to reference the photos. I have saved the downloaded photos & not the actual page that they have come from so I have to re-find the photos again so I can get the correct referencing & this is very time consuming. Another lesson learnt. As the author’s photos do not carry specific instructions on how to reference them my tutor said to reference them all the same and send and send an email to the author to let them know that this is what I’ve done and to let me know if they would like me to change it in any way. 

We had some issues with a documentary that we found and wanted to use. It took a short while to download last week and it also took some time to figure out how to edit. We thought that that was that but it turns out, after looking at the copyright that it can only be for re-use and not for remix. As we need to cut the 30 minute documentary to 2.31 minutes, we have had to find another video.

We shot the footage that we are going to need for the film. I play the main (or should I say only character) in the trailer. There were about 6 scenes that we filmed. It was based in the computer lab and I also recorded some informal additions to a blog I am creating that forms part of the script. All we will have to do now is edit. We are very pleased with the process and how we are travelling.
