Workshop 1: Basic Videography

When did I become a video teacher?

Photos and video are passion for me and when Professor Klein said to me that I would be a roaming video editor for class, I felt honored. I’m not going to lie though, I was a little apprehensive to say yes at first.

I thought to myself, “Me? Teach?…….Really now?” I’ve never taught people in a class about video, but I have taught on a smaller scale. I figured, why not challenge myself a bit.

For my first workshop, I taught Jarrod, a classmate about the basics of video using mobile as the platform.

I went over how to use the iPhone as a proper video camera, making sure to stress the importance of stabilizing the phone for footage. Then, after taking some footage, we went into iMovie and edited together a voice-over story. Very basic, but very valuable information to have.
