This video gives you a brief window in to the exciting process of media production. At the Rough Cut screening we review in-progress media works and give feedback to support youth media creators in the completion of their projects.
Your media work is not complete without a statement from the artist. Within the Adobe Youth Voices program, the project description is the first thing that your audience will see, and for that reason, you should think of this written statement as a way to draw in viewers and create excitement around your work. This tutorial teaches youth and educators how to write an AYV Project Description.
Understanding ownership of your own work and others is a very important part of youth media. This tutorial examines the fundamental concepts of copyright law and describes how to license your work to Adobe. Learn about these important concepts and gain the tools to use them.
