I came along last week after my one-on-one Meeting with my supervisor to check my progress in Video Editing for Fall Programs to promote Winter Session Sign-ups, including the December Monthly Family Gathering. For future reference, most of the videos my supervisor suggested have Perspectives videos in a vertical orientation for weekly posts via Extreme Kids and Crew’s Instagram, LinkedIn, and Mailchimp. My supervisor was kind enough to discuss her critiques and make any changes to the subtitles, like punctuation and making the subtitles a bit larger. She was delighted and entertained by the non-copyright background music I’ve included for most of the programs and family gathering events. Rock Band promo videos were the only video in which I didn’t include the Background Music due to the songs they played and sang for vocal warmups. My main concern was if the Rock Band videos would be marked as Copyright due to one of the iconic Christmas Songs, Last Christmas by Wham!, they performed in the last seconds.
I shared the non-copyright Google Document list on the shared Google Drive so that the original songwriters can be credited in the description above or below. The most crucial tip for professional ethics discussed in AIGA’s standard and practice resources and Design and Business Handbook was to watch for Copyright Infringement lawsuits.
