I think the readings on low bridge technologies, YouTube, Baron's essay, and my earlier essay on creating a writing technology will help the most with my final, reflective essay and making the movie. "Understanding Comics" is useful too in terms of considering our audience, the purpose of our video and how text and images intertwine. My team and I plan to talk about a Strunk and White rule "Avoid Pompous-sounding Words". We have worked out a script and characters.
I have never been interested in movie-making, but I'm not dreading this project. I am actually pretty interested and look forward to seeing the completed project on YouTube (a site I've never visited). It helps to be working with team. If I had to do this myself it would not get done. I see a lot of myself in the essay on low-bridge technology. Having videocams and software like I-Movie makes things very easy also. I graduated from high-school in 1981. Making a video then would have been pretty hard. The technology was pretty cumbersome and my team and I would have been limited in where we could film. Also editing would be difficult. This ties in with Baron's essay on the progression of technology. Today's technology makes everyone a producer.
Writing an essay on writing, writing technology and movie-making should be interesting because all three are related. Writing and movie-making are recursive-they both should be revised over and over until "perfect". Movie-making is a type of writing technology.
