Microblogging
The course is not fully online therefore it would combine face to face, practical and online collaboration and learning and assessments for the students.
I will take a look at your suggestion on microblogging to see if there are benefits for students discussing or collaborating Film production ideas and concepts to assist students in acquiring technical knowledge and skills through social media groups like Twitter. I would be concerned if students in an open worldwide group environment would take information that could be illegal or infringe copyright. I would not be able to check everybody's movements and connections to give any proper advise.
Some functions could engage students to ask questions and make an opinion or interchange and develop ideas. They can share resources and critically reflect in their discipline collaboratively with the students and teacher.

A disadvantage could be that some blogging platforms have a character limitation and bloggers would be susceptible to divert off the subject or theme quite easily.
Twitter has 280 character limit.
Microblogging on social media would have some advantages such as it is real time, can be accessed anytime virtually anywhere within the telecommunication areas, and could gain real life experience in collaborating and evaluating the information based their knowledge and skills.
The use of video with moving images and sound can easily communicate an engaging and intuitive topic (Allam, 2006) which will enable student to gain skills in researching, collaborative teamwork, real world problem solving, use of technology, and organisational skills (Bijnens, N.D.).

A benefit could be to discussion software or equipment suitability and acquisition or to solve technical issues or tutorials with production filming, lighting, sound and editing would be a great advantage to build on knowledge and skills within a collaborative interactive social environment.
Within the classroom the intended goal of microblogging on social media could be used as a pedagogical tool incorporating video. The way video can have a transformational engagement in the discipline and the knowledge acquired. As teachers we can consider flipping the classroom where students can condense, abbreviate and summarize the topic at their pace and research content more thoroughly individually or collaboratively outside and inside the classroom.

Interesting idea with Micro-blogging. It would be good way of collegial sharing of resources.

Additionally Joe, rather than worry about students infringing copyright, consider teaching the students upfront about their professional obligations and having them take responsibility for their own actions.
