I finally found where this video was online, probably one of the first times the course was mentioned in public. I was interviewed nearly 2 years ago as part of a case study on the OU and the way it deals with rights for moving images. The interview is about 3.30, and moves on from my trial by fire about rights with a film competition, to our thinking about how we'll deal with rights and students submissions for this course.
So the aim is to build in a creative commons culture from the start - introduce cc licences and the implications of different flavours of it for media making. The brief for all the student tasks will be to only use 3rd party media they can licence on a cc basis, and to clear all their own work with consent forms etc.
Apart from being the right thing to do, it provides some potentially exciting resources for the university, like a growing library of stock footage and sound effects from the exercises in the 2nd week, which would be a very good eye-catcher on the web for what we're doing. It would be fantastic if the OU became one of the top 10 sites to look at when you wanted cc resources to use in a low or no budget production.
