Ten Key Principles of New Media

1) Editing or montage "for creating fake realities" (Pg. 3, xvii)

2) Computer Programming
- Using the right equipped programs to edit, cut and finalize finished film is important to have the audience understand what you are portraying.

3) Time
- It all depends on what kind of film and media you are working with. Timing is also important for how much and how long you want your audience to get out of it.

4) Directing
- In any kind of media, the Director serves a crucial part in making sure what goes where, what to shoot, who, why, and to "pry an object from its shell." (Pg. xx, 172)

5) Digital compositing

6) Operating systems

7) High level programming language

8) Spatial montage

9) Risks
- Taking risks with media and trying new things with new technology serves an important purpose. The impact with risk taking lets others with similar ideas or new ideas create something when the barriers are broken. I believe taking risks is a great way to build confidence and makes the learning experience a good way to critique and improve for next time.

10) Modernization
- "Vertov's goal is to seduce us into his way of seeing and thinking, to make us share his excitement, as he discovers a new language for film."
