Fair dealing and copyright in Canada


      There is eight different fair dealing purposes that does not infringe copyright, so you can use something copyrighted without getting in trouble for it depending on how you are using it and how much of it you use. Copy right is very important to protect someones work, yet there has to be ways that people can use certain works that are copy right without getting in trouble. I think that the way it is set up now is perfect, because people can use copy right novels, art work etc for educational purposes,  if they are working on a book report they can include some of the actual novel to quote it etc. Copy right is important, but if there wasn't ways that people could still use copy righted works a lot of great things wouldn't be known today. Being able to use copy righted works, also helps promote novels, art work, research papers etc!

      Say if a student was working on a certain novel in class, and the teacher was using it for educational purposes the teacher would be able to copy out on a handout 10% of the novel or a full chapter, whichever is greater. Which is a perfect amount to copy out of a novel for handouts, questions etc. If there was no fair dealing, a teacher would not be able to do that.

      Now if someone was writing a review, on a news paper article they would be able to legally copy the whole article as part of the research process and you may be able to include portions within your own work! Although if you are doing this you have to include the source of the information you are getting and, if it is provided, you have to list the author(s) or creator(s).

      If you are working on a private study of a poem or musical score, and the work is from a copy right protected work containing other such works; you can copy the whole entire musical score or poem. Yet, if you are planning on publishing your research anywheres, generally, you may NOT include a copy of the poem or musical score you are researching.

      If you are writing a report critiquing (criticism) of an audiovisual (tv show, or film) or a sound  recording, you may copy 10% of a sound recording or an audiovisual as part of your research. You may also include portions of what you have copied within your work, but you also HAVE to mention the source and if provided you must list the author(s) or creator(s) names.

Explanation of sound effects to be created and plan of action

The four sounds that I think I am going to be making is, footsteps, something falling, a car revving, and a door shutting. I picked these sounds because I thought that it would be kinda easy to create these sounds and they were also something I thought would be cool to make sound effects for. How I plan on doing the footsteps is, i'm going to do it inside just so the wind and cars driving by don't affect how my sound comes out. I'll probably do these at school just because I think it would be easier but it could be done anywhere. I seen in the videos that we watched that even the things falling are pre recorded and edited into the films, I thought that was cool and I thought it would be hard to make the sound perfectly fit the object falling in the film, so I thought I would give it a try. I also plan on doing these inside just to again make sure nothing from outside effects how my sound turns out. The third sound I wanted to do was a car revving, I picked this o

Storyboards: Which storyboards do you like?

Image
https://www.sampletemplates.com/business-templates/free-storyboard-templates.html            I chose this template because I think this one looks the most organized out of all the ones I saw, and I think you could see the bigger picture of whatever you draw/write because you can see everything side by side. I like the style of this template and how it goes across the page instead of down. I like having six on only one page instead of just three on one page. You could write whatever you want underneath of your drawing because there is enough room.      https://www.sampletemplates.com/business-templates/free-storyboard-templates.html        The second template that I chose was almost the same as the top one expect this page has three more blocks on it as well as it has lines underneath of each block for writing. I personally like the first one the most because I think having nine on a page is a little crowded and the other one has more room. Plus I think the lines are not nee

Understanding Copyright

     The first situation I chose is with an artistic piece, like a painting, photograph etc. The work is also from a copy right protected work, and it is being used for an educational purpose! If you were to hand it out in a class hand out you may use the whole thing, you can copy the entire work! That is permitted under fair dealing.       The second Situation I chose is if you are reading a book in a class, and the teacher is giving it out as a part of a course pack they are aloud to copy only 10% of the novel or a full chapter! This is also under fair dealing.    The third situation I chose is an article from a periodical, if you are using it for an educational purpose and you chose to put it into a learning management system, you can legally copy up to a full article from each issue of a periodical for solely the purpose of education. This again is under the fair dealing guidelines!
