Second week remake

I went to http://creativecommons.org and found clips that I could download respecting copyrights. This was the beginning of an interesting process of learning. This thing of downloading respecting copyrights sound very complicated at the beginning, but when I followed the guide of Creative Commons, I understood that it is easier than I thought. I found two movie trailers with the idea of identify parts of a movie trailer in them and transform those clips into an educative clip. The most important part of creative commons (//http://search.creativecommons.org// ) is to be able to make licenses of our work. Pictures, videos, webs, or any material can be copyrighted following simple steps. We are creating a license for our work and will include it in our video.
There are many interesting videos and shows in //http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/// Additionally; PBS offers all kind of documentaries about many topics that are for sale and for free download. One of the most interesting ones is Charlie Rose Talk show. He invites all kind of personalities to his program to talk about science, religion, art, movies, books or any other fascinating topic. His talk show, even though with a very simple stage, is one of the most prestigious programs in American Television.
PBS series Wide Angle in //http://www.thirteen.org/edonline/wideangle/video_bank.html// offers a political, economical and social perspective of conflicts around the world. There are many sources to find information about crisis in Somalia, famine in Africa, war in Angola or any other turmoil around the world. That wide variety of sources presents us with a big challenge when it comes to select a reliable source. Finding PBS is good because we know that this is ones of the sources we can use to compare information and make more reliable conclusions on those topics.
To capture a video from a website was not a simple task because there are many software available to do so that confusion is the first answer. Finally, I tried looking in youtube for video-tutorials that show how to download a video from youtube and change its format to mp4 (MPEG-4 is a patented collection of methods defining compression of audio and visual (AV) digital data -Wikipedia). I found this part very useful for our final project, even though I used this in my second week assignment to choose the clips I used in the video “Parts of the movie trailer”
My clip includes video that I shot, music made in Garage Band, still images from the film, video effects available in iMovie, and all the credits to the people that work in the project. I added sound effects from iMovie, music made in Garage Banda, and Narration in voiceover of iMovie.I downloaded the music following directions form //http://www.itsfreedownloads.com// and now I know how to use music respecting copyrights, but I never used it because along the process of my clip I decided it would be better to use Garage Band to make the music of this clip.//http://www.adobe.com/education/instruction/teach/digitalvideo/dvcg_cs4_p3_student_guides.pdf// link was confusing but I finally managed to find the document with the guide googling dvcg_cs4_p3_student_guides.pdf. Important steps to presenting work for peer reviewing and the guide on giving comments and advise. This guide relay on stating purpose, audience, and goals at any time of the project. This is very important to have a consistent product that will convey the message that was intended at the beginning of the video.
The final product is in youtube, and I hope you all enjoy it.
Thank you
