DBE #5 - Fair Use Policy

I think the digital story I created should fall under the Fair Use Guidelines. The original media has not be altered but the intent is to encourage people to see me as an individual and not a stereotype. Fair use is considered when 2 basic questions are answered with Yes: 1.Did the unlicensed use “transform” the material taken from the copyrighted work
by using it for a different purpose than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original?
and 2. Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use? When both questions can be answered yes then fair use is considered.
