'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!

Outlets for student productions

In addition to the festival we attended, there are several outlets for student productions (relevant when considering the institutional context of your work...). I'll suggest some below, if you know of any more, please add details as a comment below. If someone reminds me I'll add details of a summer film-making camp (producing actual feature films) run by the Co-Op on Monday.
RAW CUTS
CATCH21
BBC BLAST
MEDIA BOX (the link includes more possibilities; MB are also on MySpace, and FaceBook, and YouTube)
CHARGE ON COMMUNITY
(and PropellerTV if its good enough!)
