10SecFilm - Introduction

With the BigStockPhoto.com assignment completed and handed in, we only had to wait 24 hours before the details of the next Creative Technologies assignment began to emerge.

The goal of this assignment is to create a 10 second film worthy of entrance into the '10 sec film fest', which you can find here. To achieve this, we have been granted the use of Mini-DV camcorders and various professional movie editing software packages.

I find the idea of movie editing with the use of the professional software an interesting prospect. However I am a little concerned at the natural creative intellect required to film something interesting in the first place. A problem to tackle when the time arises...

With this assignment it is my aim to use all of the valuable lessons learned during the BigStockPhoto.com assignment and put them to good use here. In particular, my wishes include:

• Paying closer attention to the brief
• Considering original concepts
• Increased use of available software packages
• Working against a tighter plan and schedule

With the assignment deadline in sight, I have began my research into suitable film content and production techniques. Stay safe.
