Final Video

This video is dedicated to my grandpa, Andres Martin DeMayo, and all of the DeMayo family.

DST Chapter 15

Chapter 15 Copyright and Fair Use in Education 

          When in doubt ask a lawyer. There are so many legal things to consider when creating a video. Just as books have a copyright, videos do as well. It is better to be safe than sorry.  Even if the copyright symbol is not there, assume that it exists. 

             Three rules of respect: (1) citation, (2) permission, and (3) compensation. I think that they three rules of respect allows the media users to follow rules that would be appropriate when using someone else’s  work. Just as if we were to use someone else’s words from text, we would do the same with other media types and acknowledge the original creator. 

            Four-Factor Fair-Use Test: (1) What will be the video be used for?  (2) What is the nature of the work? (3) How much will be used?  and (4) Will is effect market value of the media? This is another way to determine if the media that an adult or student uses is appropriate. 

           Best advice is to use media that is created by you or a friend. There are many grey zones, try to avoid them as best as possible.  

DST Chapter 14

Chapter  14 “Media Grammar for Teachers”

          “Watch it twice” I think that this is good advice because often times I watch a video once. Yet, if I was to watch the video again I would be able to identify the things that need to be worked on. When developing our own videos, we watch and re-watch the videos many times to edit it and make it flow with better media grammar. Yet, when criticizing work I have to look past the storyline. 

           Images are important and help the DST flow. There are many times when images tell more than a video shot. The images have to support the storyline. I feel like narrative and pictures go together well especially when focusing on the narrative. The image has to be clear and appropriate. 

           Pacing is extremely important for a video. Can’t be too fast or viewers can’t follow along. Can’t be too slow or the viewers will get bored. It has to be just right. A mixture of moments helps to create the storyline and work especially well when put in the right place.


 Storyboard Updated

I decided to change my storyboard again. I know that this is last minute and that this is the 3rd time I've changed my mind. I was trying to find the right story, which turned into the wrong story, which turned into a meaningless story, which has now brought me to this position. I recently lost a very important person in my life. He left our family with a legacy that should never be forgotten. So, I've decided to make his "Coming to America" story come to life.

Compared to my other storyboards, this is one that I feel most passionate about and that this is the right direction that I should be heading in. My storyboard has been made with a Prezi.

Beginning of my Storyboard

The video below is the start of my new storyboard. I will be adding much much more, but I wanted to give you a bit of what and how my DST will come alive.

Thank you everyone for being patient with me with the late responses and postings.
