About the Programme

Videography refers to the process of capturing moving images on electronic and streaming media.

Join us for a hands-on, practical workshop where we will show you how to create a budget-friendly livestreaming setup that can be done at home with basic videography equipment.

In this workshop, we will explore the five elements of a video production and how to use each to improve a livestream’s quality:

• Lighting - How to look for natural lighting sources to improve the look of a stream and introduce additional lights as needed.
• Audio - Compare and contrast the differences between audio sources that are close to the listener and those that are far away.
• Hardware - How to use smartphones to capture video and basic mounting solutions available for popular smartphones, and introduce a basic computer setup that allows display capture.
• Software - Learn about common software used in livestreaming such as OBS (Open Broadcaster Studio).
• Video - Compare and contrast the image quality captured by smartphones and webcams, and explore 2 different video streaming set-ups to cater for different filming scenarios.

IMPORTANT: Please bring a smartphone with you that can capture video and that has sufficient storage space to record up to 3 minutes of video.

The age requirement for participants is 15+.
