LO3 M2: Legal and ethical issues for repurposing content.

In this report I am looking at the legal and ethical issues surrounding the area of repurposing content for an online media profile. When looking at repurposing content for an online media profile, you need to see what actual documents are needed for your CV, the documents needed may depend of the media sector you are applying for. For example, if you were creating a CV/portfolio for a job in the film industry they may ask to see what previous you have created for the industry, this may include things such as scripts, storyboards, and pervious footage.  The legal side of repurposing content is rather simple, the main legal issue is copyright. The Copyright, Design and Patents Act 1988, this means that creators of literary, dramatic, musical and artist work are free to use their content however they want. One way they can use their content is by having it allocated on their CV, this is where it fits into the legal side of creating a CV because if you were to use work that you don't ...

LO3 P4: Be able to repurpose content and create the personal media profile

While studying my course I have had to do a lot of practical work to use as evidence or as a final product. It has given me many skills in photo editing, video editing and sound editing. I have created a logo for a website that was centered around Anime, to complete this task I had to use Adobe Photoshop 2020 to edit my graphic, the editing consisted of using things like the gradient tool to give the text of the logo a gradient and the ruler tool to make sure the text was in line with the image I chose for my logo. Then once I was done I exported it as a .PNG, this is because the logo had to be transparent on the website. Once I chose to file I then changed the image size, the main reason I did this was so the logo would fit onto my website and it also reduces the file size. I changed the width of the image to 789 px (pixels) and the height to 526 px, this then reduce my image size from 180.1 KB to 63.3 KB.  Another piece of work I did was when I was on work experience at Sine FM, ...

This assignment will show my scoped work and identify the attributes and characteristics to assess the suitability for inclusion of my personal media profile. I will document the suitability for conversion and compression as well as documenting the proposed target audience for my media profile and how this is made to be as inclusive for all users. The first outcome I produced throughout my digital media course was a 6-minute promotional video for Sine FM, which was filmed and produced by me, and it was edited by Mac Gallagher, who was a student on my course. The video was for Sine FM to show to their sponsors and others who were interested in sponsoring why they should sponsor the station. Throughout the pre-production process I used my time management skills to work within the time frame given, this means we had to come with questions to ask the radio DJ's and then also finding time to be able to film them. This took a while to get started but once we had figured everything ou...

  A media profile is a lot like having a CV, it is something you show to an employer and/or university. It lets you summaries what skills you have, your educational history, your work history, such as where you have worked before or if you have not worked  before.  CV's are kept quite short and it is easy to put everything that is needed on it. 

LO1: understand the purpose and use of a personal media profile.

  What is the purpose of a media profile?    A media profile is a lot like having a CV, it is something you show to an employer and/or university. It lets you summaries what skills you have, your educational history, your work history, such as where you have worked before and the skills you have developed during the process.    When creating your media profile, it is good to include skills because it then allows you to show the person you are presenting it to a lot more about yourself, it also shows what you are best at. For example, if you are a good graphics designer then you can add this onto the profile for one of your main skills is graphic design. Other examples of skills include determination, positivity, time management, accountability, and innovation. This allows the employer to see what how you might fit within their organization / business.    Some workplaces and educational institutions need to see what your w ork history is like – t...
