Would you like to be able to shoot and edit lots of marketing videos for your website or social media posts but you don’t know how to do it?

 

In this LIVE online course which you can attend from the comfort of your home you will learn what kind of online marketing videos you can make for your business, how you can shoot videos with your smartphone - if you have some additional low cost equipment - and how to edit the footage (using video editing software on a PC) into a marketing video.

 

 

Course Methodology

 

This is a 3 hour LIVE online course which you can attend from your home or office using a PC / MAC / Smartphone or tablet (you will need to be able to hear sound either through speakers or headphones but you do not need a webcam). Please note that the larger the screen you use the better the experience will be.

 

 

What is involved in an online course and how does this online course work?

 

As a course participant you...

 

  • Need to download the free Zoom meeting software prior to the course - we will provide you with a download link.
  • Can join the course on a PC / MAC / Smartphone or tablet (you will need to be able to hear sound either through speakers or headphones but you do not need a webcam).
  • Will by default have your webcam switched off - this will give you privacy if you do not want to be seen.       If you wish, you can switch your webcam on. Your trainer, Evan, will explain on the day how this works. Please note you do not need to have a webcam to participate.
  • Your microphone will be “muted” by default once you enter the course and throughout the course - this means that nobody else can hear what is going on in the background of your house or office. It also ensures the smooth running of the course. 
  • Will be able to "ask a question". You can "virtually" raise your hand and Evan can then unmute you / or you can unmute yourself so you can ask a question. If you do not have a microphone then you can type a message for the trainer to see.
  • Will be able to see Evan, the trainer, via his webcam. 
  • Will be able to see Evan's screen so he can demonstrate how to use the editing software and what to do with your videos on Facebook etc. You will also be able to see the course slides on Evan's PC - just like you would in a physical training course.

 

The course will very much be a mixture of Evan talking to the camera and then demonstrating what to do on the relevant websites.
