Our world has made a rapid leap into the digital, which has required many people to generate their own content, including video. And so… how is that going for you? Are you loving the videos or are some possibly lacking in production value due to the restraints of physical distancing and the sudden expectation of this additional layer of filming?

This 4 week course walks you through professional filmmaking techniques for creating video on your cell phone. Participants will review footage to learn to spot how to improve their technique, brainstorm ideas of how to stylize their digital presentation, and learn about additional tools and create next steps to leave the class with a strong handle on best practices and how to improve their digital presence.
