Creative and Media - useful websites

I found this fab index of useful websites and thought it would be good to share. You can use these sites (and share them with your students) to gain a better understanding of the creative and media industries.

BBC online training courses
The BBC has established a comprehensive list of online courses initially designed for its staff that are now free to all. These courses cover everything from the basic use of a DV camera, through glossaries of production terms, to how to approach post-production practices.

British Film Institute (BFI)
An excellent archive of film material, extracts and links to their own BFI publications, and a host of other quality material.

The UK Film Council
This website has a host of invaluable information on all aspects of the British film industry, and on areas such as film funding.
www.ukfilmcouncil.org.uk

Screen International
This media magazine covers a range of film-related topics.

EMI
The EMI website is very useful for student investigation. The information provided enables the student to create a profile of this media institution. It is updated regularly and discusses at length the implication of digital initiatives for the music industry.
