Networking Study task

The Dots is a platform for jobs aimed at creatives and is similar to Linkedin.

Linkedin - I have signed up and I have made 40 connections

Using facebook to network shouldnt be underestimated - there are groups like this one that can be very engaging and useful.

I asked to volunteer at an immersive sound installation as I thought that it would lead to making contacts in the 'audiovisual' discipline. Something that i have a vested interest in.

Aesthetica film festival would be a good place to network face to face, not far to travel either.

Due to my interests in poetry and poetic film, this would be a great festival to visit and make contacts to work with in the future.

Anything local is always a plus, Leeds international film festival may be useful in gaining contacts closer to home.

I have found instagram to be great platform for networking due to the accessability of its DM system.

Hiive is another platform for creative professionals.

Twitter is another very accessable platform for networking with industry professionals, I have signed up to twitter but i am not very active as of yet.

Behance is a platform used by lots of industry professionals and is used to showcase portfolio work. A good place to put yourself out.

The Facebook animation group Festivus put on small events like this one, in manchester.

MAF is a very good place to meet new contacts face to face.
