"For example, historians regularly quote both other historians’ writings and textual sources; filmmakers and visual artists use, reinterpret, and critique copyright material; while scholars illustrate cultural commentary with textual, visual, and musical examples.(Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education)
The scope of our Digital Story project is exactly covered in the quotation above. Our assignment was to create a video that represented our West Virginian culture through the means of pictures, text and copyrighted music to create a emotional response. We, as a group, borrow copyrighted material and used it to create something of our own, and in this way we were following the guidelines of the Fair Use policy.
Even though I intended no copyright infringement through my video, it was removed from public viewing on youtube. I have concluded that this must have been a flaw in my crediting. I mean to fix this issue promptly.
