Audience: Photographers and others interested in the effects of photoshop and new media on the art of photography.
Topic:Discuss the changes, good and bad which have come with the infiltration and reliance of photography today on the "gifts" of new media.
Purpose: To inform, to ask a question which provokes thought.
Mindmap:
For a "flowchart" of sorts, I decided to create a power point presentation instead, as I believed that would help me more, and give me a more concrete idea of the direction my movie would take, and make the transition easier. I've uploaded it to slide share.

Script:
Some memories are important to capture... and some, are just for fun. Some cameras can even video a moment to preserve it forever.
In photography in new media, we're going to be looking at the effect new technology such as photoshop has had on photography.
But with all the new media available today, when does a camera stop being a camera, and a photograph stop being a photograph, and become something else entirely?
This is a question that renowned photographer Elliott Erwitt asks. Born in Paris in 1928, Erwitt traveled the world from a young age.
In my own representations of Erwitt's work, you can see his talent doesn't rely on the crutch photoshop can sometimes be. He is a photography purist, and had frequently expressed his distaste for digital manipulation in photography, believing that a moment captured should stay pure and un-photoshopped.
"Digital manipulation kills photography, it is enemy number one," said Erwitt. Was he right?
Where does the new technology of digital media fit into the world of photography?
Without photoshop, this picture wouldn't be possible.
What would this girl even look like?
With Picnik and Photoshop it's becoming easier than ever to manipulate photographs. Creative Commons and Flickr are poised to do for photography what YouTube did for video sharing.
What will photography mean in the future?
