Session description

The session will feature a teaching and practice session on each of the phases of the video production process. The presenter will guide attendees through the inquiry process, using film and audio equipment and accessible editing programs. The goal is to use devices available to the attendees.

Outline

Content and Engagement – the experience will be divided into rough thirds, representing the three sections of the video production process. 10-15 minutes will be devoted to teaching, with 15-20 devoted to practicing the skills in each section. I will go around and help anyone who has questions. The goal is for people to get more comfortable with the ideas and using their available resources.
-First section, Inquiry and Pre-Production
-Hands-on practice with developing a topic, idea, and researching resources.
- Second section, Production
- Overview of cameras, composition, and some basic shot styles. Each attendee will be required to get an example of each shot that they can put in their video.
-Hands-on practice with cell phones as the recording device.
-Third Section, post-production
-Overview of editing styles, grammar of editing, and tools.
-Practice of using and putting video and audio together and making it make sense together.
Time – total 90 minutes, divided into three sections of 30 minutes.
Process – I plan on making it an active back-and-forth, with a little time introducing the concepts, showing the attendees how to do each step, and then directly giving time and guidance to those practicing. They will be using their devices to record and edit. They can work with peers to film some of their videos. The goal is to have a short video by the end of the session.

Attendees will need to have a device that can film (mobile device or tablet) and a device that can edit videos together. We will need to get the footage from the phone to the device where it will be edited. If the same device will be used to film and edit, that will be fine. Connection through Dropbox or other cloud service to get the files to the device will be another option to get the videos to the editing device. Mac Users can do AirDrop to drop from an iPhone to a Mac. Other users could use a direct cable connection if their device supports direct file export.

Canva will be an option for editing.

CapCut is another option for editing.
