Blog Layout/Assignment/Units

Hi all!

In terms of presenting your work (Unit 2/6/33) - it may help to create individual 'pages' for each unit on your blog. This will help me to identify which parts of your work are for which unit

Katy has done this and it looks very neat - http://kathrynpogue.blogspot.co.uk/

Also, I'm fine with you uploading word/pdf documents to dropbox and putting a hyperlink onto your blog. Whatever's easiest for you in terms of submitting is fine with me.

In terms of the assignment - please, please check the learning outcomes to see that you are meeting some of the listed points under each italicised heading.

e.g. Primary sources: interviews (face-to-face, over the telephone, by correspondence, by email); questionnaires; surveys; focus groups; information leaflets from source; own sources, eg notes, video or tape recording of live events, contacts list; diaries; observation; recces

Regarding primary research for unit 2 - get creative if you aren't getting responses. Twitter has loads of filmmakers and film festival profiles - tweet them! I suggested to Shabaz that he looks specifically at the names of filmmakers at certain film festivals and contacts them directly.

Also, look at smaller film festivals/film nights:

Filmed Up North, Cornerhouse - http://www.cornerhouse.org/film/film-events/filmed-up-north-west-filmmakers-night

Exposures Student Film Festival - http://www.exposuresfestival.co.uk/

Stoke Your Fires - http://www.stokeyourfires.co.uk/

I'll update this as and when...
