HAND IN DATE FIRDAY 25th JULY

Your hand in is at the end of your session.

We will meet at start of your session and have a short crit.
You will then have the rest of the session to finish up. So if there is any thing you need to have clarified be prepared to make your inquiry at the beginning of class.

For those still not on the student list (if you are not on there you will be seen to be absent)
send the url plus your tutor name to vicdesign112@gmail.com

HOW TO ONLY SHOW FOUR POSTS?

In your settings, go to formatting, there at the top of the page you will be able to see where you can change the number of posts per page. Change the number to 4.

Copy the material needed for hand in and paste into new posts.

Remember, blogger reads in reverse chronological order so your last post will be the first one on your page and will be the very first impression we will get.

Look at the assessment criteria and hand in template further down this blog.

Four Final Posts

Note: use your titles creatively to introduce each post.

+Picture and image from past.
+Composite image showing interaction with a network.
+Vlog showing process (captions for these two post less than 20 words)
+Review of your comments and responses within th 112 community

The review of your online activity from networking with other 112 blog sites. This is a summary of what comments you made to whom, and why, and a summery of any comments that that others made on your site. Use less than 100 words.

(remember the lurking task was research task only and is not needed for the hand in. But draw on that experience as you write your review)

Before the party can start (from a VJ perspective)

In just one minute this video shows a small part of the process behind putting together the visuals for a Dance Zone. (Canaan Downs Festival 2007, preparty...a day later 5000 people were spread over four main event areas)

This video was posted, and uploaded from my harddrive and hosted by Google video. They accept AVI, QuckTime, Real and Windows media. File size can be up to 100mb.
I have used a low compression and Mpeg the file is just over 2mb. (I suggest choosing a better quality for yours)

The video above this one is hosted by youtube and was added using a video element. Check Youtube for their file limits and types.

LURKER

many modern Internet communities now advise newbies to lurk for some time to get a feel for the specific culture and etiquette of the community, lest they make an inappropriate or redundant comment, ask a Frequently Asked Question, or incite a flame war. This leads to the tongue-in-cheek command to "lurk moar". The verb to "de-lurk" means to start contributing actively to a community having been a lurker previously.

BLOGOSPHERE

The Blogosphere is the most explosive social network you'll never see. Recent studies suggest that nearly 60 million blogs exist online, and about 175 000 more crop up daily (that's 2 every second).
Social media expert Matthew Hurst recently collected link data for six weeks and produced this plot of the most active interconnected parts of the blogosphere.
