STEP 3: Final process of movie making
Our final days of movie making consisted of putting together all our findings, including YouTube parody eHarmony video bio’s, amusing profile pictures, and other YouTube clips on cyber dating. However, if we were to simply embed these clips into ‘Prezi’, the presentation wouldn’t flow like a movie. So, our next use of software was ‘Screen-o-Matic’, in which is a free downloaded program that records anything onto your computer.
After recording our YouTube footage to the computer, we used Windows media ‘movie-maker’, and converged all our footage together into a movie. This would give us a flow of parody clips to embed into ‘Prezi’. Once embedding the clips into ‘Prezi’, we added a few of our own words, including ‘rules’, and ‘sign-up’ tips.
As excited as we were that finally our audio visual movie was finished, and we were proud of our work, I had to ask myself:
DO WE OWN THIS PRODUCTION?
Beginning the process of making our movie, I would have laughed at such a question, and answered ‘Yes, of course’, but having been through the process, and releasing how strict copyright laws are, my answer now is confused!
In a sense, yes we do own this production as it is on the software ‘Prezi’, and we are not uploading it onto the internet. So, within the confines of our own computer desktop, I suppose that yes, this production is ours. However, we are not uploading our film onto the internet for a significant reason.
Unsure of whether our YouTube clips are Creative commons, or licensed, means that we must be careful with uploading our movie onto anything, because of copyright. If we were to release this clip into the public, at the very least, we would have to reference all of our footage. And, even then, referencing might not be enough!
This process has truly exposed to me the complexities of copyright!
