How to Shoot Engaging Video on your Smartphone
“Almost anything can be justified as a style of filmmaking if it works.” Doug Liman
Videos are crucial to media these days, yet businesses are not using it to the fullest extent. With many people having smartphones and the quality of smartphones improving, why not shoot video on them. Over this course we will explore the equipment needed to make a great video on any smartphone, how to promote business through video and how to know what footage to film.

Making a Podcast
“When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful” Malala Yousafzai
If you want to find a fun new, creative way to promote your business, making a podcast could be just the medium you are looking for. Although a one way communication, podcasts are great for engaging with customers. Through 7 modules you will look into the behind the scenes of podcast making.
