Training

INTRODUCTION

We have an established track record providing media training course for individuals with specific requirements, and group training sessions. We specialise in hands-on practical workshops, with focussed handouts. As professional journalists with a radio and TV news background, we bring an extensive experience of the media environment in our training courses.

Here’s two examples of our training workshops

SMARTPHONE VIDEO SKILLS WORKSHOP

Regular video content increases traffic to your website and social media and keeps people there longer. And your business has events, stories and personalities you’d like to show.

BUT a professionally-made video is outside your budget for this year, right?
Why not make your own? Use the video camera on your smartphone  to tell your story in a short snappy way.

One day Hands-on Workshop in Smartphone Video Skills:

  • We show you how a one-minute video story should be structured – strong opening, call to action, clear language.
  • We show you the best way to deliver your message, with best background and lighting, and best way to get good audio.
  • We show you some of the affordable add-ons you can get to make your videos easier to make – attachments for tripods for your phone, best Apps, attachable microphone for gadgets.
  • We show you how to upload and trim your video on YouTube, and how to edit in You Tube editor.
  • We show you how to set up a video channel on your blog, or social media content.
  • We send you away with a handout of top tips for recording video.
