Tutorial task week 8 - Audio-visual production

We finally finished our audio-visual production product. We edited it in Imovie, and downloaded a song from jamendo.com that we found on jamendo.com through Creative Commons. The editing went really well, and it turned out exactly as we pictured it would be. The reason why we put the song on was that the chat part on Facebook would be boring to watch without music, and we thought the music gave the movie a nice ending.

We used old-movie-effect on the first scene, and slow motion effect on the last scene. That worked out really well and we thought it improved the film. When we found out that we wanted to add music we searched the music we found on CC, and tried to found a happy song. We had to listed to a few songs, but it didn't take much time before we found the one we used.

We created our own youtube-account, and it was really easy and quick to just upload it on youtube.com. We own the rights to the movie since we produced it all by our selves, but we do not own the rights to the song we used. Since we are not using it for commercial purposes and we achknowlegded the artist of the song in both the video and in the description on youtube, we can not be accused for copyright infringments.

We chose to use the names Romeo and Juliet to let the viewers easily understand that the movie was about two lovers when we didn't have any sound. We don't think that can cause copyright infringements, since we didn't intend to steal the names and to copy the famous story. By obtaining a license from Creative Commons, we are able to “share, reuse and remix their material, legally” (Creative Commons Australia).
