  1. Media Platforms Workshop Creating your own digital foot prints By Roxanne Prophet

  2. OVER VIEW • Blogging, how easy and how many different ways…. • Vimeo Vs. YouTube • Casting Call Pro • IdeasTap • Unit List • Lets get you started

  3. NO FILM SCHOOL • NoFilmSchool is a site for DIY filmmakers and independent creatives. The site focuses on tools and technology relevant to filmmakers, writers, directors, editors, producers, cinematographers, bloggers, designers, and entrepreneurs. • NoFilmSchool was created by Ryan Koo

  4. WHO THE HECK IS RYAN KOO? • When he started this site in 2005 he was unemployed and living with my parents in North Carolina. • His goal was to get himself to New York and start a film career — without any connections, and without going to film school. • And this site got him there. • It’s a long story, but thanks to this blog he was able to lie his way into a job at MTV (and a three-year career as graphic designer).

  5. HIS DSLR GUIDE • That “movie mode” hidden in the menu system of your new DSLR? • AMAZING GUIDE! • This guide was written by him reading forums and learning from all the available teaching platforms online. E.g. Phillip Bloom • Also includes great people and websites to check out. You could do some research into writing your own book?

  6. PHILLIP BLOOM • “My site has also gone from becoming a place to showcase my work to a place for people to learn and share. There is a wealth of information on my site for both the seasoned and junior film maker. I hope you find it useful. We all need as much help as we can get to make it these days and I hope I can help.”

  7. HOW TO’S: Phillip bloom and Film Riot • "Film Riot is the best of the bunch. Serving as an on-demand film school, this series stands out as a prime example of under-the-radar geeks who carved out a DIY niche that’s both useful and entertaining". - Wired.com • CREATE YOUR OWN HOW TO VIDEOS, they teach you and others and its like creating a behind the scenes of a movie

  8. SUCCESS??!! • If you get successful enough at blogging and critiquing or even teaching equipment companies may ask you to rate and advertise their kit! • We setting up a website don’t forget to allow advertising hosts… that way when it gets more popular you can make some pennies…

  9. WordPress • I find the easiest way to set up a website at the moment is by using Wordpress.com . • Everything is already formatted for you and there are many step by step guide on how to use it. • Check them out: https://learn.wordpress.com/get-started/

  10. Examples • My mentor in life: : David Gregory Jones • My horrible example of a website that has been neglected…. Roxanne Prophet • Get started…. Get you name at wordpress.com and start documenting your career… make your own digital CV… So that you can become a runner at ITV just by handing over your business card or adding your website to a link in an email

  11. Me working for ITV last summer Ever heard of Red or Black?

  12. Also Boozin’ n’ Schmoozin’ • This would all be great to have when you meet other or more experienced filmmakers to give your business cards.

  13. SO GET OUT THERE!! • Make a to do list with a deadline and advertise it through your blog. • Let people know that you are learning and what mistakes you have made!

  14. Vimeo Vs. YouTube • Vimeo is a better blog than any other. It’s a blog that visually shows what your up to and is basically your portfolio online! • http://roxanneprophet.wordpress.com/ • https://vimeo.com/davidgjones • YouTube… Its great to get a lot of views but its not what the industry looks for. • You can make it look good and professional but with Vimeo this is a lot easier to do. • But you can make it professional
