"What is this technology you speak of?"

So over the next few weeks we're expected to produce one or more short audio visual pieces whilst simultaneously blogging our progress. I've decided to stay within the theme of "new communication technologies" and make a short film regarding one's first encounters with technology. I thought it would be comical to touch on the "horror" genre, because, let's face it, first time experiences are always slightly horrifying.

During high school I studied film and television for a couple of years so production is quite enjoyable for me and I'm well acquainted with copyright problems so it occurred to me quite quickly that music will definitely be an issue. I don't intend on creating my own music because quite frankly whatever I produced would sound disgusting, so I will stick to the professionals and have to give them credit.

Although I use a Mac and could quite easily use Movie Maker, I'm going to create this film with Adobe Premiere as this is the program I am most familiar with. I'm thinking I'll only use videos that I've shot, because I love to film! The more filming the better. To shoot my film I'm going to be using my family video camera, it's a Sony handy cam that was bought last year, so it's quite user-friendly. I'll also be in my film so I can only rely on myself.

To import the footage on my computer to produce I am going to have to use iMovie. iMovie imports and formats the footage so it is useable in other programs! (Oh, how I love my Mac)
