Different Ways of Communicating Across the Web 1

One way of communicating across the web is through Xbox Live, this is where people can go online and play video games with each other. It could also be used to contact friends around the world. For example I use it to play games and to be able to talk to my cousins who also have Xbox Live who live over 200 miles away.

Feedback for YouTube Game

We showed our game to the rest of the class and we gathered feedback, we found out that the wind noise in the background was too over powering so we need to dub over the voices, we also need to smooth an edit because in one scene it just jumps to the next and finally we need to cut down the credits because there is a scene where there's just 10 seconds of nothing happening.

Intro

I decided to make an intro to our YouTube game, its cartoony but with the right sound affects it will be really good.

YouTube game

We decided to re-structure our game for YouTube, and theme it rather than making it random, we started filming and so far its going great, its also really good fun, we hired Harley's brother as an actor to support the idea of our game, not giving anything away yet though.
I had to make a desk last week for our project due to not being able to get a new or second hand one because of funds.

Interactive Ethics: Copyright

1. What is Copyright?
What is Copyright? Copyright protects the physical expression of ideas. As soon as an idea is given physical from, for example a picture drawn or made on Photoshop, it is protected by Copyright.

2. What are the 3 Moral Rights?Copyright has 3 moral rights, which are:
1- The Right of Attribution, the creator of a work has the right to be identified as such.
2- The Right of Integrity, the work may not be altered or changed without consent.
3- False Attribution, a work cannot be attributed to a creator falsely.

3. How might Copyright affect you and your work with Interactive Media?
It would have huge effect on me and my work because if someone takes work that was created by me and didn’t attribute me, then I could possibly lose out on profit or success that, that product would be making.

4. Do you think illegally downloading is morally right or wrong? Justify your position?

If I’m honest I think illegally downloading content is wrong, because the producer is losing out on money that the product should be making, but at the same time some of the content that is illegally downloaded is ridiculously priced and not everyone can afford to buy it, this becomes a bigger problem when people need the content, such as me needing Photoshop and not being able to afford to buy it legally, to be able to succeed.

5. What does Creative Commons do?
Creative Commons is a charitable organisation that lets copyright holders easily allow anyone to use their work in ways that the author is comfortable with.

6. Use an image from Creative Commons in your blog correctly.

7. Give your opinion on the way that total freedom from copyright might affect our culture.
If Copyright ceased to exist then none of the major content producers would continue to produce anymore because it would be a non-profitable industry, so they would see no point in continuing to produce.
