DIY Video Production For Content Creators: From Setting Up to Editing

Have you ever thought about doing video content for yourself or your brand, but it just seemed too complicated? It doesn't need to be that way, not anymore! Join me in this class and learn how to script, shoot, and edit videos all by yourself! 

In this class, we’ll dive into the fundamentals of video production for content creation. I’ll share with you the principles I've learned throughout the last seven years of developing my audiovisual content creation business. Photos once had enough impact by themselves to call attention to your brand on social media, but video is taking over, and nowadays, it's super important to have a strategy that mixes up both. This class serves as a summary or checklist of everything you should consider, in the correct order, to be successful in small homemade productions for yourself or your brand.

Throughout this class, you'll learn how to:

• Script and plan for your shoot
• Make the best use out of the space you've got available
• Set up your camera, microphone, and lighting
• Talk confidently to the camera
• Record extra visual content to enhance your message
• Put it all together in post with smooth edits

Who's this class for:

This class is perfect for beginners. It’s aimed at anyone who wants to create video content by themselves. If you have your own brand, a shop, if you’re an artist, or maybe a photographer that suddenly noticed video taking over all platforms, this class is for you. We'll go through different options of gear, tools that will help you plan for your videos, the best settings for video and audio, and how to do some basic editing all on your own.

What do you need for this class:

Any kind of camera, a smartphone will be enough, and that's all! We'll talk about differences in equipment, and with time and according to your needs, you'll be able to understand in which areas you'll need some upgrades. For editing, you can use whatever you'd like, throughout the class, I'll be using DaVinci Resolve which is a free program. 

While watching the lessons, you'll be prompted to complete small tasks that will help you learn and prepare yourself at the same time to record your final project video.

To make things even easier, you can download the class guidebook over here, where you'll find additional information, links for everything mentioned in the class, and quick reference guides for settings, shortcuts, and recording.

Hope this class gets you excited to create your first videos! And don't forget to post your exercises and project to the Class Projects section to get some feedback! So let's dive in!
