For this weeks multimedia, we were to look at star wars youtube videos. However, we were not watching the movies, instead they were parodies and clips. The first video “Star Wars Fan Film: The Essence of the Force” was pretty original and did not seem to go against any copyright or Fair Use laws. There were a coupld of similarities, but the ideas were original and it seemed that it was more for a Mountain Dew commerical or advertisement than something that was made from a copyright. The second clip “Star Wars Saga (The Best Trance Remix Montage)” did not seem to violate any laws, to say…. However they did use clips from the films in a mix and probably did not get permission from the makers. But it wasn’t to make a movie or anything like that. The video was a bunch of clips from the films yes, but they were all mixed into one video and electric music was added into the video for background music. So technically if you think that using the clips violates the copyrights, then yes it violated them. But since it wasn’t for a movie of their own and more like a music video then it didn’t.
