Outlining your remake (10 pts):
- Watch “Embracing the Remix” TedTalk from Kirby Furguson about the nature of stealing and transforming.
- Think of a popular or your favorite movie.

- Creating a satire on the original trailer (for example, through changing the soundtrack of the trailer)
- Creating a completely new trailer from scratch.

make a post on a community Discussion Board answering the following questions (keep in mind the rubric according to which your post will be evaluated https://introtodigitalliteracy.wordpress.com/reflection-rubric/):
- Do you agree/disagree with the authors’ perspectives on the state of the copyright right now? Why?
- When you share someone else’s image or video on Facebook or Pinterest, do you attribute the work?
- Do you care (or not) if someone else uses your work and why.

What was the easiest part? What was the most interesting part? Will you continue exploring concepts of remixing and copyright on your own in the future (for example, for your school work)?
