Honestly, what inspired me to create this sort of a mash up video was seeing how the children (yes, children) danced when I volunteered in the Dominican Republic. The little girls and boys were very much dancing like the girls in the Ludacris video, when in reality, they shouldn't. But, that's just my perspective coming from a very different culture. The "Limbo Rock" song is a very popular American song that encourages children to "get low". I felt Ludacris's "Get Low" music video and "Limbo Rock" were in perfect contrast with one another in order for me to get my point across.
I justify my Mash Up video in regards to Fair use in that I'm not utilizing these videos as they were meant to be utilized. Yes, I am indeed using these videos to make my own creation, but the context is completely different and my video is used for educational purposes, nothing more.
I thought Keisha's video was very well done. It was definitely a Mash Up video in that she was contrasted war and peace. I love the voice in the beginning because it really catches my attention about what the video will be about. I really enjoyed Jessica's as well. Although, I did feel, at times, that there wasn't much "mashing up" going on between the content in the video. So, that could maybe be something to enhance next time. I absolutely LOVED Megan W's video. I thought it had the perfect image for her idea and the background vocals were perfectly contrasted! Great job!
I think that as long as someone has a DIFFERENT point or perspective to be made on a particular video, than it could be held up in court for Fair Use.
Very clever idea. Very very clever. I just want to say that it's sad that this is how children are learning to dance so young. You have a really good reason to want to make a mashup like this. I also think it could hold up to fair use. It shows something about our culture today and how we've changed. I feel like I'm saying that a lot in comments on these mashups. But it's true. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great video! I think Fair Use certainly holds up here.
ReplyDeleteI do like this idea alot. It is very interesting to see the the change between the childrens video and the Ludacris song but yet they are both dancing in a questionable manner. I think it would hold up in court because the meaning of both videos have been changed to create this new perspective on the idea of kids growing up too fast.
