Produce Video Clips to Promote Cultural Activities – SMQ
End overspending for the creation of beautiful dance videos for social media! Learn to make them yourself.
Advance registration required (before September 28, 2023)
Offered in French only
When it is well done, a promotional video is a quick and effective way to convey information and attract audiences. However, this can be expensive if you hire a professional to produce the video. By acquiring basic skills and practising them in this training workshop, participants will be able to produce their own video clips to share on social media.
In this training workshop, participants will be guided through the various steps for making a video clip, from conception, screenwriting, filming, and editing to dissemination. Between the sessions, they will conceptualize a video clip, shoot it, and edit it.
They will do a group presentation of their work for each one of these stages to receive comments and suggestions. These exercises are useful for individual participants as well as for the group, as they serve as concrete examples during the training workshop.
