Post numero un{post number one for those of us not trained in the language known as french}

Um ok, well this is my first blog so I don't really know what I'm doing but I continue to type this none the less. I'm doing this for comm. tech class. I've thought about a career in filmmaking and so that was my reason for taking this class. I hope to learn more about the technical side of video cameras but I'd also love to learn anything about digital cameras{the kind that take pictures} and I'm interested in learning about lighting and t shirt screening and everything. The thing that seems most daughting to me about a career as a filmmaker is that I know very little about the technical side of film. I have many ideas for films and I can see how it would go in my head, but i dont possess the knowledge or the skills to make these ideas come to life. I am hoping to take as much as I possibly can from this class and use the resources available to me. I have a few screenplays in the works and a buddy of mine is producing, directing and writing a small television show in Toronto and is interested in trying to shoot a film this summer. So I hope to take this information and utulize it for future projects.
