Design Specification Digital Design Final Product (could be aural and visual) must clearly explain my topic to the

audience in an interesting and attracting way that will help them to learn something as well as being short, simple and to the point Final product and information must be interactive. This will help the audience to be attracted to my Final Product because it will provide the audience with knowledge and information in a active(non-boring) way. Information should be accurate and reliable, must be cited, and should not be in the form of a lot of written text, as this will make the user bored. Music, if any, must not be more attracting and distracting than the main information. All this will contribute and help to sharing the knowledge and information with the audience in a good way. Final product should contain clear and high quality photos or other media that is not copyrighted, so that legal action should not be taken against the creator. Final product must not be shorter than 1 minute as this is not enough time to express the information and knowledge. However, the final product should not be too long, as it will lose the audiences attention. A good balance of Final Product running time is needed so that the Final Product expresses the information in a clear and easy-to-understand way without boring the audience while holding their attention. If the Final product has many stages or parts, there must be a plan to organize the structure and the plan must be followed. This will help to have an organized final product.
Possible Presentation Formats I think that these three are my possible presentation formats: Scratch interactive Animation iMovie or other type of video Macromedia Flash 4 animation

Scratch interactive animation

I think I will be able to demonstrate excellent technical skill while creating using this because it is hard, but I will learn how to use it. I can push myself to learn new skills with this application. I think the final product made with this application will be able to be easily shared with others, and it can be posted on my blog, according to Mr. Ivan Beeckmans. I think it will be easy for me to express my ideas and information through this application because it is interactive, therefore, people can learn through one application. I think this might not take too long, because I am quite experience with this, but I can still demonstrate technical skills with this and I can still learn something new. This time I will be using Final Cut Pro X, though I usually use iMovie. The Final video product will be very easy to share because it will be a video file: I can upload them to YouTube and then embed it on my blog. I think I can get my ideas across easily because I can still present the audience with information and then have them take a video quiz. I think I will be able to demonstrate excellent technical skill while creating a product using this software because it is hard, but I will learn how to use it. I have never used this before, so I have to learn to use it. I can push myself to learn new skills with this application. I think it will be easy for me to express my ideas and information through this application because it is interactive, therefore, people can learn through one final product. People will not have to see a connecting video if they need to take a quiz.

The amount of time to create this type of product will be a lot because I will need to get familiar with this program. I might not be able to get my ideas across as easily because I am not familiar with this format I might have to get into special positions to take some shots, and this might be a challenge.

It will take me a lot of time to get familiar with this program, as I have never used it before. I might not be able to get my ideas across clearly because it might be hard for me to do so using this program. I might not be able to share my final product as easily as the video

Chosen Format I think I will make my Final Product with a video tool, because I think this is the easiest and most effective way to share my information. Videos are easy to make, compared to animations, so this will take me less time than the animations. Also, the videos easier to share with other people than animations, so if I do this I dont have to go through all the trouble of converting my animation to different formats. I can also create a video quiz- I present the information in one video and then at the end I have two links to two other videos for the quiz. Obviously, one will say something like wrong answer and the other will continue the video. I think it might be easier for me to get my ideas and information across using video, because it is less complicated to use than the animation software. The Final Product made with video will also be easier to share, because for me it is quicker and I am more familiar with video than animation with making and also sharing as well.

Final Design Software used: Final Cut Pro X Target Audience: Students my age Title slide: Know your rights: A look at intellectual property and the idea of ownership and rights Have short and funny legal battle (see script below) acted out as introduction to 1st , 2nd and 3rd Whats the difference between being inspired by something, borrowing something, copying something, using something and stealing?, What is plagiarism?, What is Copyright?, issue. How to be a Hobo
Tiernan: Homelessbeggar$0 Mighty: Judge Lachlan: Slumtramp-10 Asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfa sdfasdfasdfasdfas dfasdfasdfasdfqwerfre wtq Document How to become a hobo is first posted online with copyright All Rights reserved under Homelessbeggar$0. A few days later, it is posted on another website by slumtramp$-10. In a surrounding background of a slum, under a hobo judge, the court battle is begun. Homelessbeggar$0: I was the one who wrote and posted this document! (Slumtramp-10: I did it!) (Homelessbeggar$0:No, I did it!) (Slumtramp-10: Prove it!) Homelessbeggar$0 looks hopefully at judge.

J H S

(Judge: Well, We should look the date of publishing, and the date of the copyrights.)Judge checks the website for the dates of publishing and the copyrights. (Judge: Well, he published first and also got the copyright first[indicating Homelessbeggar$0] therefore he owns the rights. You can freely publish this document and claim ownership if you own the rights. You can also make copies of the piece (s) of work; Distribute copies of the piece(s) of work; Perform the piece(s) of work publicly (such as for plays, film, dances or music); Display the pieces(s) of work publicly (such as for artwork, or stills from audiovisual works, or any material used on the Internet or television); and make derivative works including making modifications, adaptations or other new uses of a work, or translating the work to another media. Buying rights is one way to do that. If you are the only person to own the copyright, others cannot do anything, such as copying and editing, with your piece of media, and if they do, you can take them to court.) (Slumtramp-10: I was just inspired by it!) (Judge: No, this is not inspiration.) (Slumtramp-10: Well, I was borrowing!) (Judge: No, this is not borrowing.) (Slumtramp-10: Fine, I was using it!) (Judge: You were copying it and using it for your own personal gain without acknowledging the original creator. This is known as plagiarism. Plagiarism is stealing- copying ideas of a party or individual without acknowledging that it was created by the original creators, and passing it off as ones own. That is stealing, because the general meaning of stealing is to take the ideas or property of a party or individual without permission and acknowledgement. Inspiration is okay, because the

person is being mentally stimulated to do or feel something. Inspiration is not stealing, as it is not taking something belonging to another party or individual without acknowledging it. This is also not copying or borrowing because it is not an imitation or reproduction of something else, and it is not taking something from a party or individual with their permission and the promise to return the same or an equivalent. However, borrowing means to take or obtain with the promise to return the same or an equivalent. Copying means an imitation or reproduction of an original. Stealing means to take something, such as ideas and credit or property of a party or individual without permission and acknowledgement. These are all different. Inspiration is not taking anything from anyone, while copying can be good or bad because object can be allowed to be copied, and some are not, so there are legal and illegal copies. Borrowing is using something belonging to a group of party with their permission and acknowledgement, with the promise to return the same thing.) (Slumtramp-10: Fine, I admit to copying it without a copyright and plagiarism. Will you lessen my sentence now?) (Judge: The law of the slum, article No. -20 decrees that copyright infringers must be sentenced to a minimum of 50 years in the garbage bin. You must consume waste every day until your sentence is over. Since you admitted to infringing the copyright, I shall give you the minimum sentence.) Judge bangs shoe on desk. No. 50 years in the garbage bin. Questions: If you plagiarise, can you be taken to court? Yes. Good job! A plagiarism issue, usually copyright infringement, can be taken to court. Now, if you own all the rights to a piece of media, can anyone else copy or edit it? Yes. Wrong! 70 years as a Hobo! No. Correct! If you own all the rights to a piece of media, anybody else copying or editing it is infringing the copyrights. Is borrowing different from copying? No. Incorrect! Time to go clean the slum. Yes. Well done! Borrowing means taking something and then returning it, while copying is just taking something without returning it. Next video.

2nd video Introduce the 4th, 5th, 6th aspect/question: What are the instances in which it is legally and morally acceptable to copy and use someone elses work? , In the real world, when something is stolen, a physical item goes from one persons possession into another persons possession. When you copy an image online, the original creator still has their copy. Is this still considered theft?
It depends on the copyrights and licenses of the image and also what the copier does with the image. If the copyright and/or license of the image is some rights reserved or something similar, you can use some of the work, but you have to acknowledge and credit the original creator. If the copier doesnt do that, that is theft, as the image does not belong to the copiers so that is to take the property or ideas of another without permission and rights. Also, if the image is all rights reserved, it means the images is not for use, only for viewing, so no one can copy that image. If the all rights reserved image is copied, that action also fits the definition of stealing. It is legally acceptable to copy and use another party or individuals creations as along as the creator(s) are properly acknowledged and credited. Examples of this are Wikipedia articles. At the bottom of the page, they always have a notes and/or reference section. When one uses anothers works, one must cite ones sources. However, this is not allowed is the work is copyrighted as all rights reserved.

Student 1: Tiernan Student 2: Mighty

Student 1 is working on a science assignment in class. He looks at a website and is highlighting all the words in order to copy and paste. His partner Student 2 looks over to observe, and notices the Copyright all rights reserved sign at the bottom of the website. (Student 2: Stop that, dude! This website is copyrighted as all right reserved, so if we copy from it, we could get expelled! You should check out another website, such as Wikipedia, because it has a Creative Commons Attribute ShareAlike license, which means that you can copy and edit the information as long as you credit the original creator. It depends on the copyrights and licenses of the image and also what the copier does with the image. In the real world, when something is stolen, a physical item goes from one persons possession into another persons possession. When you copy a piece of media online, the original creator still has their copy. However, whether you have stolen it or not depends on what you do with the piece of media. If the copyright and/or license of the media is some rights reserved or something similar, you can use some of the work, but you have to acknowledge and credit the original creator. If the copier doesnt do that, that is theft, as the piece of media does not belong to the copiers so that is to take the property or ideas of another without permission and rights. Also, if the media is all rights reserved, it means the media is not for use, only for viewing, so no one can copy that piece of media. If the all rights reserved media is copied, that action also fits the definition of stealing. It is important to give credit to other peoples work when you have used it in your research or creating because if you do not give credit to and acknowledge other parties or individuals when you have used their ideas and words etc., it is known as plagiarism, a form of theft and an act of fraud.) (Student 1: Okay, thanks!) Student 2 goes to Wikipedia to copy the text, paste, and then change it to his own words. 5 days later, the grade comes out, and it is 100%. Student wonders what his score would have been if he did not get advice from his partner. Student looks up, and screen shows grade as 10 out of 100. No. Boo! Wrong! Questions: Is it legally and morally acceptable to copy and use someone elses work at all?
Yes. Well done! It is acceptable to copy and use someone elses work as long as it is not fully copyrighted and the original creator is credited.
Nothing. Incorrect! 50 years in the garbage bin.

Now, what happens when you use peoples work in your creating but have/did not credit them? It is an act of plagiarism. Good job! Copying and using peoples work without crediting the original creator is indeed and act of plagiarism and fraud. One more questions: For wikipedias licence, the Creative Commons Attribute ShareAlike licence, can you copy and edit the work, as well as redistribte it? No. Wrong! Time to go clean the slum. Yes. Correct! It is indeed possible, under the Creative Commons Attribute ShareAlike licence, to copy, edit, and redistribute wikipedia information, as long as the original creator is credited. You have now come to the end of this journey of copyrights and intellectual property. Thank you very much.
