Nabilya Dhela Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 So.. I'm basically done with my final film but I'm having trouble with music. I thought about not including music in the film but it will definitely be a bore. I tried making a couple of songs through garageband, but I was wondering if it was allowed to include the song loops that are already made from garage band itself. Like I combined a couple of loops together. Would it still be considered plagiarism? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you give credit to the program and its' creator it may no longer be seen as plagiarism to some people. First, check your rubric for any sort of clarification about the nature of the film, in other words does it expressly state whether or not you may use other people's work in your own production. If it doesn't I would play it safe and ask your teacher what she thinks is appropriate. Good luck with your project.Hussain 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesome828 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Nabilya,I apologize for the second post but to answer your question more directly, it's not really plagiarism if you give credit to the program and its' creators but I personally would feel more comfortable handing in something I could truly call my own work. It is up to you to make a decision now.Hussain Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nattfodd Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hey, I'm taking film too and I'm currently working on it (funny that I'm in the UAE too...) and my teacher insisted quite a few times on the fact that we have to do everything ourselves. Every little sound effect should apparently be our own work, and we shouldn't take anything from anywhere else (even if we give credit to the person who made it). It does seem a bit extreme but... yeah. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eros Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Im taking film too and Im screenwriter but my teacher told us we have to make all the music and sound effects from scratch. My group decided to ask one of the music students to give us his music piece to use. We're going to credit him and everything but it saves us the time from making our own sound Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shantbayramian Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I am currently done with my film for my IB production portfolio. I am worried about the blood levels in my film. The guide says that blood cannot dwell, but depends on what extent they mean by 'dwell'. Will they actually disqualify my IB diploma if there were scenes with a lot of blood? Please help ASAP so I could at least re-shoot. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
