Quick video training for businesses

Small businesses in Wolverhampton are being offered an opportunity to learn valuable video marketing skills.

Online video is a powerful and cost effective tool for marketing – as illustrated by the huge popularity of websites such as YouTube and Vimeo.

With this in mind, Mediacove Productions are running a series of two-day courses that will teach busy business owners the basics of quality video production in a short space of time.

Elke Theissl, Managing Producer said: “You don’t need to have years of experience and loads of expensive kit to be able to create effective and professional looking results. You can now buy a pocket-sized HD camera for less than £100.00; we can train you in how to use such basic equipment to maximum effect.”

The two day course will offer total novices an opportunity to get to grips with cameras and editing software. Experienced trainers will also explain how to avoid many of the common errors and pitfalls faced by first time film-makers.

Elke Theissl said: “There are a host of basic mistakes that people make when starting out with video – maybe the sound isn’t clear or the lighting is wrong. We can give you simple solutions to these problems”.

Participants will be guided through the production process, from conceiving and developing an idea, through to editing and uploading the finished clip to a website.

The next ‘Quick Vids’ course will be held on 1st and 2nd June 2010 and again on 12th and 13th July. Places cost £300.00 and are limited to 10 per course. For more information call the Mediacove office: 01902 317646 or email mediacove@wolvcoll.ac.uk.
