Course modules

Plan a video with a clear story

min

Record better footage and audio

Use framing, light and clean sound to improve raw material.

min

Edit for pace and clarity

Build a sequence and remove distractions.

min

Export and publish responsibly

Prepare captions, formats and quality checks for delivery.

min

Add captions and deliver the final video

Titles and captions must remain readable on small screens. Export settings should match the destination and the exported file should be checked from beginning to end.

min

Capture clean sound and intentional lighting

Clear sound and consistent exposure often matter more than expensive equipment. Reduce background noise and control the available light.

min

Organise footage and build an edit

A clear edit preserves the story while removing repetition and distracting pauses. Organise media before assembling a rough cut.

min

Write a script and storyboard

A script defines what the audience hears or reads. A storyboard and shot list translate the message into visuals before recording begins.
