Video Marketing: Creating Professional Videos on Your Smartphone
What You'll Learn
This two-part class is designed for people who would like to create short, professional-looking videos to help promote their business, product, or non-profit organization - using smartphones or an iPad! You might not know it, but you're walking around with an entire video studio in your pocket! This doesn't mean that creating video content using your smartphone is all rainbows and butterflies, but it can be done with some basic techniques and apps. This exciting class, taught by two Digital Marketing professionals, will get you up to speed quickly so you can start producing your own short videos right away! This class will focus primarily on Apple products, but much of the material should be applicable for people using non-Apple products as well.

Customer Comments
This class provided a great, basic overview of the elements needed to compose a short form video. It was helpful to get a hands-on overview and demo of the suggested apps. Small class size and conversational Q&A format was nice. Keep up the good work, BDA!CamiRead All Comments
