It’s increasingly hard to capture people’s attention online these days. However, if you have an interesting story to tell (and you tell it well), you have a much bigger chance of being heard—and getting clients or making sales down the line!
Video making is all about story-telling! So how do you do that? Maria will discuss that in this lesson, explaining about online persona, how to find your voice and your audience and which platform and video type is best for you.
After that, she gets down to brass tacks, going one-by-one through all the video production tools, both digital and physical, that you should know about, including lighting, cameras, tripods, music, editing software and more!
Get ready to start shooting a video! This lesson walks you through the detailed process of creating a long-form video for platforms like YouTube. You’ll discover what kinds of long-form videos there are and exactly how to plan them.
Maria discusses your presentation when on camera and how to make it authentic, natural, and a pleasure to watch! She also talks about why a ‘Call To Action’ (CTA) is SO important and ways to use it.
Additionally, you learn all the essential steps of the production process from writing a script, to setting up your space, to editing and rendering the final video, including adding text, graphics and sound! Exciting!!!
Next up: Live Streams!—such as Twitch and Facebook.
Delve into all the fascinating ins and outs of this video format and how to successfully pull it off!
Maria will talk about how to bring people to your streaming platform, minimize the stress of a live recording session, test out different platforms, master the software and MUCH more.
It’s going to be a lot of fun!
Moving on to the exciting stuff: Short-Form videos! (thinkTik-Tok and fun reels)
Maria will show you all a beginner needs to know about creating visually enticing video shorts. You’ll also learn insider secrets to increase your reach by working with the Instagram algorithm. How great is that!?
Discover the pros and cons of editing on your phone, how to edit and jazz up your video on Tik-Tok, Instagram and Premiere Rush, sync the footage with music, use trending sounds, and other cool stuff! Sweet!
Remember, you don’t need to be a professional filmmaker to create engaging video content featuring your artwork!
Many artists just know the basics and yet produce engaging videos that keep their follower base hooked AND growing.
