It’s not the technology that entertains people, it’s what you do with the technology.

No matter the length of your film — 30 seconds, five minutes, 22 minutes, feature length — it needs a story. It needs a beginning, a middle and an end.It needs to deeply connect with people.

Get it up there. Throw it up there as fast as you can, talk about it, tear it back down, put it back up there. Keep doing this.

Case StudySearching for information on an Australian poet I am writing a biography on the Australian poet Edward Harrington. What information is available on him? We can start by searching likely databases for entries on Harrington e.g. Australian Dictionary of Biography and AustLit It is always useful to search the Catalogue to see if the Library has any items relating to Harrington. A Catalogue search for "Edward Harrington" shows that we hold a portrait of him, a biographical cuttings file and an oral history recording by him. It is a good idea to check his published works to see if any biographical information is included in his writings. We can then search the Trove newspaper database to find articles that mention Harrington. If Harrington was involved in any organisations, such as a poet's society, searching for the organisation may provide some useful background on his life and activities
