Did you know that lightweight portable video cameras have existed since 1888? George Eastman’s original Kodak Camera proves that being able to capture reality is a concern that humanity has carried for a long time. A few centuries ago, families would need to stay still for hours an end for a single photograph. Our ancestors would unquestionably be blown away at the idea that most of us can now achieve high quality photography with technology that fits inside our pockets.
Then again, our own cameras now serve a different purpose than they used to. Anyone can create a photo or video and share it to hundreds of people straightaway. This is why PR and communications professionals need to especially pay attention to this medium. You may have the material you need to make great videos right at the tips of your fingers – but do you know how to use it?
This course in Smartphone Videography will help you use your smartphone’s camera to its fullest potential. By the end of our eight expert-written modules, you will know why smartphone videos matter so much to you as a media professional – and how to make them.
