Journalists will learn how to script and produce a social video without the support of a full social team. This workshop will move quickly and focus on on-camera presence and filming techniques, with some curation, scriptwriting, and video editing advice. This will be participatory and a safe space to practice filming yourself on camera!
Participants will:
- Practice scripting and filming social video
- Get real-time feedback on their on-camera presence and performance
- Leave with one piece of mock content to take back to their newsrooms
