This workshop will teach participants basic principles of storytelling and video-making, with the intent of creating engaging video clips suitable for outreach and social media platforms.

The first part of the session will cover some aspects of filming, lighting, audio recording, and story composition. An application (both for mobile phone and desktop) will be explained and demonstrated. In the second part of the session, participants will be using the same app to recreate their own version of a pre-scripted short video around the library under the guidance of the tutors.

Attendance requirements:

Participants who have a smartphone will be asked to download the free application CapCut (no need to create an account) onto their devices prior to the session and, if possible, to start familiarising themselves with it. Those without a smart device are still welcome to join the workshop.
