Course details

More about this course
  • Small charities understand that to compete in a tough economic climate they should engage with digital media and video content. But a lack of staff, time, knowledge and resources can get in the way.
  • This practical video production course is designed to bridge that gap and help small charities develop the skills they need for successful video production.
  • You'll gain an insight into the strengths and weaknesses of video as a medium of communication, where and how to use it to powerful effect, and how to tie it in with your charity's overall message and ethos.
  • As part of the course, you'll also have access to a well-researched collection of videos made by small charities, inspirational examples of the type of visual storytelling you could be able to achieve.
  • You'll get to grips with creative thinking and visual storytelling, and work through the editorial decisions that can make your video stand out and deliver its message effectively.
  • You'll also master how to make a low-budget production using the technology you have readily available such as smartphones. You'll develop practical skills to plan and structure a low-budget video production, shoot video in several different visual styles, and tackle a basic edit.
  • You'll be guided throughout by Tot Foster, who has just completed research to develop training and support in video production for small charities that takes into account their specific circumstances, together with Senior Lecturer in Design, Dr Theodore Zamenopoulos.
