Pocket Filmmaking and Video Production

Join Dr Wiebke Finkler’s workshop on Pocket Filmmaking and Video Production to enhance the use of mobile media for teaching and research. In this full-day hands-on workshop, you will learn how to utilize mobile devices we carry in our pockets to film and edit short videos (covering basic camera and editing techniques plus sound recording).

This introductory-level workshop is for students and staff who are interested in learning how to use mobile devices to create short videos. To fully benefit from the experience, please bring along your cell phone and a laptop with your own video editing software such as free iMovie, Da Vinci Resolve or else.
