International student video diaries

Are you a Projectorhead?

Share your experiences of what the UK means to you as an international student. Just press record and let it all out. Whether you're a movie-making expert or a camera-phone novice - it doesn't matter. Project your head and make your memories a reality.

Being a Projectorhead is all about sharing your experience as an international student in the UK. Tell us about the friends you've made, the places you've visited, the books you've read or the music you've danced to. Anything goes.

Technical ability is not important. Whether your video is a lavishly directed masterpiece or recorded in-between lessons on your mobile phone - all submissions are welcome. Just use your imagination and make the most of the skills you have.

Making video diaries of your student experience

You don't need to be the next Spielberg to become a Projectorhead. If you can't manage the style, at least get the substance right.

Your video could be about:

• the friends you've made on your course, accommodation or socially
• your favourite place in the UK
• parties, events and festivals you've been to
• new bands, films, books and shows you've discovered

The possibilities are endless. Just make sure your video shows what the UK means to you as an international student.

You can film your video anyway you like. Talking straight to camera can be very intimate and effective, or you could involve other people. Use close-ups, medium and wide shots. Create drama and texture. Build a narrative. Write a script or draw a storyboard to work from. Don't be afraid to use written words and drawn images on screen.

There are no limits on the number of videos you can upload. So if you've got a sequel or even a trilogy in mind - don't hold back.
