THE COURSE IN YOUR TIME.

COURSE FEE : £99

I believe everyone can start shooting video and make their own films.

You can create amazing videos with the device in your pocket!… You don’t need fancy equipment, it’s the camera that’s with us daily. You don’t have to worry about what the correct settings are. There’s no transferring of footage from camera to computer. You can go from shooting your story, to editing and completing your film in a short space of time.

In this ten day online course, I will show you how I make my Day In The Life videos. So you can create your own mini movies to post on your social media channels, for your personal or business community… or just for fun.

THE COURSE WILL INCLUDE:

  • THE PROJECT – The course is based around creating a week of short Day In The Life films (See below for more details). I will share some previous videos I’ve made – why I shot and edited the way I did and the process from start to finish.
  • PLANNING & SHOOTING – Choosing your aspect ratio and where you might share your video. There will be tips & tricks for shooting with your phone, including a guide to playing with angles & composition and different styles of shooting and apps that can enhance your films. It’s all about how to make your videos more visually interesting.
  • EDITING – I’ll share start to finish editing in apps for Android & iPhone + my favourite places to find music.
  • SHARING – How to upload to Instagram.
  • SCHEDULE – The schedule for the ten day course, will include prep time and encouragement to shoot a mini Day In The Life each day for a week. Creating regularly helps improve skills and speeds up the process. Although, you can work through the materials in your own time.
  • COMMUNITY – Participants can ask questions within the course site or via email and sharing of films will take place on Instagram via a hashtag #createvideoswithxanthe.

THE TYPE OF VIDEOS YOU’LL BE MAKING…

This ten day course will be based around one project idea – The ‘Day In The Life’ film. I’ll be encouraging you to make a mini film every day for a week. You can learn so much from the process and by practicing regularly. So, creating something every day gives lots of opportunities to refine skills, get quicker at the process and let go of it having to be perfect.

Capturing your film can happen at any point throughout your day… I’ll share lots of ideas on what and how to shoot, depending on the type of ‘Day in the Life’ film you want to create. You don’t have to be doing anything particularly exciting, it’s all about noticing your everyday activities and being creative with how to shoot them. I’ll guide you through the process, showing that you don’t need a lot of footage to make a great, mini film.

Editing can happen in the evening or the next day and I’ll show you how to use the apps to edit your film together step by step. It might take longer at the beginning, but the more you edit, the quicker you’ll get. Doing & practicing, is everything.

Then you’ll do it all again the next day and so on, throughout the week… with all the knowledge you’ve gained from your previous films to help with your new ones.

It’s going to be amazing…. you’re going to learn so much over the ten days. And the extra bonus is, you’ll have a wonderful collection of films of your life, as it is right now. Trust me, this is something really special!
