Learn how to create short, shareable videos using free online creators and apps to tell the stories of your small charity or community group
You don’t have to produce a feature-length film to clearly communicate a message to your stakeholders and audiences. Short, authentic stories have extraordinary power to inspire and motivate action.
Short videos are also suited to your audience’s busy lives and watching content on the move.
Luckily, telling the story of your work has been made simpler with an ever-expanding range of free and very low-cost apps and creators.
In this beginner’s course from Superhighways, you’ll learn how to craft tiny, digestible videos using a free online video creator. You’ll also discover apps, devices and other online tools that can help you film people speaking on camera.
This session will cover
- Recognise what makes a good story
- Use basic storyboarding techniques
- Create a short online video using photos and captions
- Choose applications for your future film making and useful accessories
- Start planning your next video
