How sessions work
Video Production camps runs Tuesday 6th to Thursday 8th August. Each day you can:
Join your Video Production session from 1-4pm
Join a free community session 4-5pm
Share ideas, clips and edits in the Uncommon Comunity Club space!
All our sessions are run on Zoom, with participants welcome to have cameras off or on, to watch, message or talk.
We’ll spend the duration of the camp building a project of our choice. Project outputs will always be short videos of 3-5 minutes, with the focus being on developing our ideas and communicating these in a compelling way. All sessions will be guided by our Video Production aficionado, Mivi. During sessions, Mivi will guide participants, teach new technical skills, narrate the group's successes, encourage co-operation, and give hands-on technical support. Participants can also DM (direct message) session leaders if they need one-on-one help.
Day 1 - Ideation: We’ll introduce the project we’ll work on. We’ll discuss what this project means to us and brainstorm ideas for our personal project. We’ll also explore creative techniques for getting our ideas down on paper, from visual mood boards to storyboards and script writing
Day 2 - Filming: We’ll then spend some time talking about filming and capture techniques we could try as we go on to film our project. We will capture all the content we need to start editing.
Day 3 - Editing: We’ll start by talking about how filming went, sharing our favorite clips. We’ll then discuss key editing techniques and demonstrate these in our editing software. Then we’ll start our first rough edit, and plan what to do outside of session to reach a fully edited video!
After Camp ends: You’ll have access to the Uncommon Community for 1 month. For an extra £60, you can also join our weekly Video Product Club to stay in touch with your new buddies.
What you'll need
You'll need:
Equipment to film and edit video. We use Capcut (free version) in sessions. You can choose what software you’d like to use!
A smartphone for filming and a computer for editing. Ensure it has enough storage for your video projects.
If you want to try shooting with a D-SLR (Digital SLR), you can, but it's not required for our work—just if you have one and want to experiment.
Meet your Session Leader
Meet Mivi - she’s super excited to teach editing and filming skills, drawing from her background in film production and television. Despite facing challenges due to ADHD, Dyscalculia, and Demand Avoidance, Mivi persevered and went to university in Bristol to study Film & Television for both her BA and MA. She taught herself to edit when she was 13/14 to start her own YouTube channel!
Now, her job involves editing videos, designing graphics, and running game nights and streams. Join Mivi at our Video Production Camp, where she’ll share her expertise, inspire creativity, and support you in bringing your filming and editing projects to life!
