'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!

Short film as 'calling card'

Hope you caught the Culture Show on BBC2 tonight, a special on the London Film Festival. WT's Tim Bevan interviewed, and an in-depth analysis of the squeezing out of mid-range, non-franchise/tentpole movies...
Also noted Mark Kermode citing Sam Taylor-Woods' short film debut (a film our own Joe S. had recommended in a comment, complete with link) as the reason why he was so excited about her Nowhere Man feature debut, on John Lennon - a nice example of the notion that SFs act as a calling card for would-be feature directors. (see wiki or IMDB)
Now, Question Time time!

You can view the episode on the BBC iPlayer @ http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00nhvl8/The_Culture_Show_2009_2010_Episode_11/
Only until Sunday though.
Also, the film is called Nowhere Boy. Nowhere Man is a song by The Beatles by Lennon ;-)
