Applying Digital Citizenship to a Video

In creating a video, there are many things to be cautious of and becoming aware of  giving credit to the original holders information. For instance, since I borrowed pictures from Google, I needed to make sure that I cited the information so the original got the credit instead of me stealing all the glory. In copyrighting something, the creator has all rights reserved to his or her work that they created. When I borrow information, I am applying fair use because I'm making sure I give credit to the original creator. Even in the small things like using a slide transition, there are people who have created the transitions like the Ken Burns, who get credit for their transitions. Since public domain is basically a safety net to make sure all work is copyrighted and not plagiarized there are some things that I have used that are most likely in public domain. Most works are in the public domain because they are old and the person with the rights has either died or their rights have expired. In annotating something, often at times students will underline and highlight things to make sure their point get across. For example, in a book, I might underline an important sentence to show that I need to remember the significance of it. For annotating a song, I need to have the name of the artist, the year and album title, the copyrights that the album has, and also how I have digital citizenship and I'm not stealing their song.
