The Fair Use App

This app is an educational tool for filmmakers and video creators. This is an app I would like to introduce to my school's film class and club. It can serve as an introduction to what fair use is and how to avoid using the work of others without crediting them. Students need to know what fair use is when it comes to making films and video and creating original content. This app walks through the various considerations one would want to know when recording videos, developing films and much more. These things to keep in mind are:

  • when you can reuse content
  • how your choices affect a fair use argument
  • when its time to talk to a lawyer
  • Even with students in middle to high school, this topic, possibly considered heavy to think about, is something that needs to be discussed. Students can create a good amount of material during their time in high school, so they should be as educated as possible and ensure their work...is their work!
