Food for thought...

So I presented the two drafted videos for my class last week to some really great feedback, but also to the comments of "slow it down" and "make sure that the images are royalty-free or out of copyright. Both very excellent comments that I have taken on board.

So as not to bore you I won't upload the two videos again without another improved aspect on them. But I will give you some advice that was given to me about the images I was using...

I've been trying to find decent photos of Manor Houses that I'm allowed to use so I usually just type into Goggle "Manor House/s" depending on what my fingers want to type.

It comes up with this usually. Which is cool, that's what I want. But it's hard to figure out what pictures you can use and which you can't.


So a friend showed me a couple buttons to push so that I won't get yelled at for using someone else's property! Under the search bar is a menu (Web, Images, etc). Select "Search Tools". And this will come up, without the red squiggly lines.











That little button comes up with it's own little menu so you can narrow down the choices and find the perfect images. Hit "usage rights". It'll come up with five options - labelled for reuse with modification, labelled for reuse, labelled for noncommercial reuse with modification and labelled for noncommercial reuse. 










I've selected the simple "labelled for reuse". I'm not really sure what the difference between them all are. So I Googled "differences in google's usage rights" and this came up. 


















Still not sure what it means so here's the link so you can find what I found and some other useful links.
