'MULTIMEDIA'???

The term multimedia is used frequently in discussing how/what to blog to get into the high marks band. You're partially marked on the 'level of care in the presentation' and 'use of ICT' within your blogs. What does this mean? Multimedia = a combination of images, hyperlinks, podcasts, videos, vodcasts, links lists and other blog tools, use of Facebook/YouTube et al for audience feedback/research/marketing etc. Level of care means taking time to appropriately illustrate posts, find useful hyperlinks to include [generally make a phrase into a hyperlink; don't just type 'here is a link:'!], and checking your links work, images have been properly embedded (always: save and upload, never copy/paste or drag in), posts don't have massive gaps/white space (if you place a lot of images in a post it can take some tweaking!). I try to apply these principles. Make your blogs at least as good as this one!

'Flash mobs' as film marketing technique

Use the post heading link to go to an interesting article on an alternative to mainstream, paid-for advertising; the example used is from Bollywood, but the concept is universally applicable.
Also useful to consider the increasing blurring of the lines between some Bollywood productions and British cinema, with an increasing number set and/or shot in the UK to help exploit the sizeable emigre market for Bollywood fare - several good articles on this can be found in the Film Guardian site.
