Finding copyright free images etc.

Whāinga ako: Lesson Goals

To be able discern between copyright and creative commons
To develop search techniques for copyright free images etc.

Copyright, Creative commons, attribution

When you search online for images/music/videos these are protected by laws. Did you know you are not supposed to use Google Images in your school work without permission?! We are not strict on this at school but if you move into media studies, more of your work needs to be original or attributed to the creator.

Why Care?

When you make something, it is nice to get paid for it. Creative people are often not paid a lot for their work and their stuff not only gets taken and not credited to them but also they miss out on the money. 

Image Search

Google can help you when you do an image search. If you need to be more careful with your images you can select a dropdown box. Tools > Usage Rights > Creative commons licenses 

For example: Sally wants to find a picture of a bunny to use for her work so she searches with Google Images

Alternatively she could just do a Google search for "copyright free images" there are a lot of websites that have image banks. Unfortunately a lot of sites charge a fee to have access to good images.

Sound

Similarly there are a lot of copyright free sounds available online. An example is www.BenSound.com.   Some sounds you need to pay for but there are a lot of free ones

KFC Ad Competition #2

In this task you will need to search BenSound.com to find a song to match this video. Using Canva.com you will add this sound to the video (tutorial video below). You will need to pick a song that fits the movement and vibe of the advert. You may also want to add sound effects e.g. crunching. You will need to find copyright free sounds for this online and download them to your chromebook.

I'm stuck! I don't know how to do this!
