ENTERPRISE WEEK 2020
Date: Monday, 2nd March 2020 – Location: Millenium Forum, Derry
Speaker #1: Camilla Meegan, Smartphone Video Trainer, Póca Productions
Session: 1 hour
Event title: “Introduction to Smartphone Video Production with Póca Productions”
Description: Due to advances in smartphone camera technology and editing apps, it is now possible to produce impressive video content on your smartphone with the aid of minimal inexpensive equipment. You can film, edit and upload professional looking video content in one seamless workflow all from the comfort of your own phone.
This is excellent news for businesses who know that one of the best ways to reach and engage your target market is through regular video content on social media. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and LinkedIn all know the value of video in attracting attention and communicating a message effectively and efficiently. Social media posts that include video content gain more traction than text or photo-based posts because people are more likely to engage with video and social media platforms promote this type of content.
In this brief introduction to the world of smartphone video production, Camilla will show examples of what is achievable on a smartphone; demonstrate how to optimize the video camera settings on your smartphone; demonstrate some of the latest equipment which will enhance your smartphone filming and give a brief demonstration of how to use your smartphone to edit video content.
About Camilla Meegan:
Having spent recent years developing a successful video production business with her partner in Donegal, Camilla recently decided to take a break from her career as an adult education trainer with Donegal ETB to set up Póca Productions which would combine both her passions: video production and teaching. The Póca Productions Smartphone Video Training workshops have adopted the same learner centered style that has been Camilla’s hallmark throughout her teaching career. The groups are limited to small numbers of 6-8 participants and are co-facilitated by Kieran Kelly of DNK Media Productions to ensure maximum individual support. Both facilitators are skilled trainers who provide a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment where participants gain hands-on experience with the latest smartphone filming equipment and have ample opportunity to practice their filming and editing skills with patient guidance from approachable trainers.
