Week 3 individual work

1. Who owns the photos taken by the girl in the video?
The public domain

2. What do you understand by the term ‘Digital Footprint’?
In social media, a digital footprint is the size of an individual’s online presence; as it relates to the number of individuals they interact with

3. What implications does it have?
As the digital world expands and integrates with more aspects of life, ownership and rights of data becomes important. Digital footprints are controversial in that privacy and openness are in competition.

4. Should employers have access to your life on line?
No, because your work life is separate from your personal life and therefore it’s not any of the business of the employer about what you get up to in your private life.

5. Take a look at your own Facebook area. Would you be happy for classmates to see it?
Staff? Your project supervisor (who may write you a reference). A future employer? Your parents? Your grandmother? What if things you put up there today followed you forever?
I don’t mind my classmates who see it, not my project supervisor, not my parents and not my grandmother.

6. How about parents. Do they have the right to put up ‘cute’ photos of their children when that image might be associated with their child forever?
Yes because most babies are cute.

7. Why is it so important that teenagers understand the digital footprint?
Because they are prone to uploading their profiles and images online without knowing the consequences of where the image may end up, who will have access to it, will they be authorised..

8. 8. The girl in the video wants to blame someone. Think about what happened. Identify the things that were done that weren’t acceptable and explain why they were unacceptable.
Her boyfriend forwarded the message to someone else without her permission. She shouldn’t have sent those photos not knowing where it may end up.

9. 9. Is it ok to forward mail without permission?
NO

10. 10. Is it ok to forward photos without permission?
No

Previous Pictures I have taken:

 

























This is my portfolio of previous work to show to my employers as requested. I have the skills that required taking pictures. In addition, I am good at working with people to produce good portrait as is important to get them respond to my directions. Furthermore, I have the equipment that are required for the job, such as variety of cameras, lighting, developing equipment. Moreover, I have variety of software application that would enable me to improve/alter colours, change background, remove people and replace them, apply artistic layers onto photos and many more things. Looking forward to this project and explore my skills to make my clients pleased.
