What my plans are for my video

Well I have been thinking about looking more into cases where people were beaten or killed on camera such as Neda. I will also be adding a lot of news broad casts and how news reporters are being treated. From what I find there, I will compare to how cameras are helping the awareness of events that are happening around the world that not many people knew of before (such as invisible children) and letting the public see for themselves. Mainly the pros and cons of the camera on our generation and how that plays into effect in the Egyptian revolution.

Video Trailer and Idea

Cameras are changing the world in more ways then one realizes everyday. The cameras in Egypt capturing images are (in my opinion) the strongest force driving the revolution. People from around the world are sitting down and watching what is happening across the globe, but what they don't realize is that what they are seeing is completely bias. None of the people who are pushing for a revolution are going to calmly look at a camera and talk to it as if they were calming putting their child to sleep. Instead they are going to yell at the camera, do things in front of it that they might not do if few people were watching. They are hyping up their actions in front of the camera because they know the whole world is watching them and when they see the extreme measures they are taking they hope to inspire the viewers to do the same. Recently more reporters are being attacked and camera smashed. People who are on the other side of the revolution don't want to be seen by the world because they are scared so they have started making life for the reporters hell. In some parts of Egypt they aren't letting people buildings with a camera because they are afraid violence will break out.
Though cameras are causing all kinds of violence, they still can be used to save lives. The rest of my ideas for my project will remain a surprise. But, here is my trailer to get you excited for the final video...
