RAVE Ideas

I know that PBS is definitely not student run, but PBS Online has a 2016 film festival: http://www.pbs.org/filmfestival/home/?utm_source=promourl&utm_medium=direct&utm_campaign=filmfestival_2016

Their voting took place in July and the results came in in August. PBS had online voting where people could vote through their e-mail, Facebook, or Twitter accounts. Voters were then encouraged to share that they voted on their social media accounts. PBS also had its own hashtag for the film festival, #PBSolff.

 I think the hashtag idea is a good idea so that RAVE can be found more easily on social media.

I found the largest student-run film festival, called the Ivy Film Festival. It isn’t happening until April of 2017, but I like the layout of the website: http://ivyfilmfestival.org/

I think our website should definitely have different tabs at the top to click on, including submit, about, and rules/guidelines. 

I also had an alternative voting idea. I like the idea of online voting, but to make the actual festival more participatory, we could give the audience clickers. After we show the best films for each category, the audience could vote for their overall favorite film.
