Mobile Video Workshop with a former BBC ITV reporter

Anna Brees worked as a reporter and presenter for the BBC and ITV for ten years. In this first module she covers EVERYTHING you need to know to start creating professional quality video on your mobile device. 

Anna will guide you through the whole process – from filming, editing, presenting and then finally broadcasting to your chosen social media platform.

This course will give your video the professional lift to make it stand out. 

• Landscape, Square or Portrait Is your video for a new audience on the grazing news feed? This is where approx. 83% of content is watched with the sound off. So your best format might be square, short-form video with subtitles. If it is for an already engaged audience for example on YouTube or Vimeo, an online course or for your website – landscape and long form is a better format.

• Headline, top shot and story The three essentials to get people watching your content. The headline (also called the text introduction), the very first shot (thumbnail) and the story – hook them in and keep them watching.

• Where is the Story? How to tell a story from beginning to end and keep your audience watching.
