What’s it about?
Welcome to the mobile video workshop that helps journalists and communication professionals rise to the challenge of creating content from home.
This one-day programme is delivered online, but still aims to be as practical and interactive as possible. After a group introduction, participants will undertake a series of step-by-step tutorials, from recording online and selfie-style interviews to editing social media stories.
During the day, participants will have access to online resources and video demonstrations, with live access to the tutor for help and advice. You will also have the opportunity to practice online interviews with other participants. The day will round off with a group feedback session.
The focus is on shooting and editing video from home, but the techniques will also apply after the lockdown ends. This workshop has been specially adapted from our popular How to Shoot and Edit Video with your iPhone workshop, led by tutor Dan Mason.
A PDF ‘toolkit’ will be shared with links to relevant apps and equipment.
