It cannot be denied the fact that a lot of Filipinos now are fond of multimedia and graphic arts and also doing remixes of media content and coming up with a new creative content out of the original. If there is one thing that I think is our advantage as Broadcast Communication degree candidates and students over those who just see Youtube as an avenue to generate income by simply making fun out of themselves, is the fact that we study and discuss Copyright, Copyright Issues and its implications to the videos or any content we produce.
Before coming up with my mash-up video, I spent 10 straight hours of watching videos and trying to make a mash-up with different themes from government to political economy, to feminism. But I just cannot see myself to those themes. As I watched Ryan Higa's channel and searched for more videos of Wong Fu Production, I saw this video of Ryan with a beginning title "My Youtube Story." That got my attention and I was surprised that it was one of the many videos uploaded for the 5th anniversary celebration of Youtube this year. So I watched similar videos and searched for other uniques stories and came with a topic.
I thought of a video mash-up that transverse the notion that we upload only to feature ourselves and forgetting to appreciate the technology that puts our videos and hosts it online which is Youtube. This video mash-up is dedicated to Youtube for making us entertained and happy.
After making the video, I sent a message to the original owners for their consent. And out of the nine producers, only one replied and he said that I can use his video as long as I do not earn profit from it. And so I told him that it is purely for academics, and he then allowed me to use his video.
I remember our professor Ma'am Data as she said in class that the videos we produce are projects and when we upload them in Youtube or in other hosts, there is a high possibility of it to be used by other individuals on the internet and to come up with a new idea out of your original product. Yes, I agree with Ma'am Data because it is true and has been proven already online that whatever project you do, so long as you properly cite your source, and as long as you have a valid input therein.
To keep you from not waiting, here is my last BC 148 video production, my mash-up. I hope you like it as I much as I did while doing it.
This video would not have been possible without the inspiration from my BC 148 Interactive Broadcasting class which is one of the factors that inculcated in me the love for Youtube. Thank you very much classmates and Ma'am Data!
