Visions Week 3

For this week my task as Marketing Assistant has been prep work for the Visions 5 blog, and I'm very excited to get the ball rolling. I've drafted up two blog posts which, after peer review and editing, will be the first posts for Visions 5 in the spring semester. Along with these two posts, I've conducted two video interviews with department directors - Ally and Adrienne - which are going to be animated by Michael. My hope is that these interviews, and the blog itself, will be a fun and creative way to draw in a bigger crowd for the festival. Since we know from Rika's social media presentation that when we have videos or photos posted on our various sites, that is when we have the most attention being payed to our page. In order to keep our numbers increasing, turning the Visions 5 Blog into a video blog is our best bet. These video interviews will be the first dip into the vlog pool, and if those prove successful then we'll dive in head first! In preparation for the transition, I'm going to begin video taping mini-segments from our Visions meetings. This, I believe, will be a huge draw for our audience as they'll get to see some sneak-peaks into the hard work and dedication it takes to make Visions Film Festival possible. I will be going over all of these plans in my presentation during our next meeting. I can't wait to hear feedback and other creative ideas the staff might have on how to make the Visions 5 blog bigger and better than ever.
