WorkshopsWorkshop 1: Test videoWorking in groups, create a short (under 2 minute) video to promote a businesses or product idea
Workshop 2: AnimationWorking alone, use Animoto.com orXtranormal.com to create a short (30 second) film to promote a product idea
Workshops In your group's video you could focus on interviewing a business owner, talking about the business you run or are planning to start (if this is at an advanced stage), or promoting a product (e.g. cosmetic product, technology product, book).
If you chose the product option, pick a product youare passionate about and feel confident you could 'sell' in a video interview.
Ideas: interview a businesses within or nearby the university, or create a promotional video for a university course.
Tips- Warm up inteviewees with practice run- Ask open questions- Get interviewees to include question in their answer- Create 'cutaway' material- Use in-camera edit- Get 'clean' takes (no errors)- Cue in 'takes' to reduce editing- Avoid motion shots- Tightly frame interview subjects
