Partnerships

Two key tenets of the Digital Film School are that it is i) social and ii) tied into real applications, so it's been natural to think about who we want to work with.  This extends beyond the OU, but the easy ones have been close to home.  Two projects in particular have stood out as potential partners, Creative Climate and iSpot.

Last week we were in the happy position to be able to film some of the media that will link them in - we're going to use the making of media for them as worked examples for our students - how to do a video diary for Creative Climate, and how to shoot a subject on location for iSpot.  Both sites are designed for the public to upload contributions, and in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of the course, T156 students will have the option of uploading pieces of media to the sites.  Our course media will also be available for the projects as a resource for other contributors.

We interviewed Joe Smith, Jonathan Silvertown and Mike Dodd, some of the academics involved in the projects about the linkup:
