Franks
Empire in the Early Middle Ages
The Franks presumably arose from various western Germanic tribes originally living between the Rhine and Weser rivers. In the beginning, they were not a unified tribe yet but consisted of several bands under their own leaders. Since the middle of the 3rd century some of them attacked the Imperium Romanum, the large Roman Empire. In Late Antiquity, the Roman Empire was already weakened by domestic strife and since 395 it was divided into the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire. While East Rome continued to exist as the Byzantine Empire, the West Germanic tribes contributed to the final fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 by their conquests during the time of the so-called Great Migration. Also in the Roman province referred to as Gaul by the Romans, large Germanic tribes established themselves, among them Western Goths, Burgundians and Alemanni as well as Franks, and created their own small realms.

Blogging
The weblog or blog, for short, as a medium is not much older than this century. Blogs came into being in the World Wide Web as ’messages from below’, as web pages from web creators who wanted to share their view of the world with the world. They are short notes, long texts, pictures, videos, which are posted loosely and at random intervals to the world for an undefined public.
Copyright
Copyright is subject to constant change to keep up with technological advances. This film enables the viewer to grasp the basic principles of this extremely intricate matter. By way of introduction, the film defines what an author is, what kinds of works there are and how long a work is protected on principle. Then the fundamental rights of an author are cited and it is shown how these are exploited in our times. In the third chapter, the respective rights are illustrated by way of practice-oriented examples of books, photos, music and films. Here, of course, an emphasis is laid on the field of education, taking into account the latest case law within the EU and Austria in particular. A further chapter highlights the problems arising with the Internet and goes into the citation law and pirate copies. All in all, in this way the viewer is made familiar with the most important basic terms and their meanings. Comprehensive worksheets and additional accompanying material invite us to deepen our knowledge of the subject.
