What to expect //

Through the widespread availability of technology and the awesome power of the internet and social media, videos have never been more prevalent as a way of sharing stories, spreading information and promoting products, styles and ideas.But what makes a good story for video? How does the short form nature of social media change our storytelling? How do you make social media films with tools and equipment you already have?

The sessions will explore these questions and aim to give practical advice and experience for telling your own stories through video.These sessions will be delivered via an online portal and will work as follows:

• 19th May, 10am – 12.30pm: Discussion and initial exercise + homework task allocated
• 20th May, 11.30am – 12.30pm: Optional trouble shooting Q&A session
• 21st May, 10am – 12.30pm: Sharing of projects and additional exercise

Participants should ensure they have whatever they have to make films with - this can be a smartphone, tablet or laptop. These should be fully charged before the day, and have plenty of available space for filming and editing new footage. If you're bringing an apple device please make sure it has iMovie downloaded, if it's a PC then make sure you have windows movie maker installed. We suggest that you test your equipment and software in plenty of time before the session and ensure you have up to date, compatible software installed. This will avoid frustration and basic technical at the times of the sessions.You will be provided with a resource pack of useful links for technical trouble shooting as part of the workshop information.

What will I leave with //

• An understanding of storytelling principles for video
• Confidence to create short videos using your in-house equipment
• Increased understanding and skills in the principles and practice of social media filmmaking

Who’s it for //

This session will suit participants who have successfully produced and edited short video content for a web-based / social media platform and want to learn how to develop their skills and improve their content.As the workshop will be run online some basic experience of filming and editing will be important and is therefore not suitable for complete beginners.

The facilitator //

Chris Kemp is one of the directors of Suited and Booted Studios CIC, a Bath based video production company with over 20 years experience. Much has changed in that time, and social media is increasingly part of what we deliver for our clients, and it presents its own challenges, but what hasn't changed is that telling a stories.
