8 sessions. Self-guided. Each session consists of a recorded lesson and includes extra resources for those who want to learn more. Participants are given an assignment for each session. Assignments are graded and participants are given feedback to make sure they’re on the right track. Topics include: What makes a good video; Pre-production (how to get started); Framing and composition (how to shoot); The art of the interview (how to shoot and conduct interviews); B-roll (what is it, why we need it, and how to get it); Editing (3-session deep-dive on Premiere Pro including basic editing skills and strategy, using personalized templates, graphic and text manipulation, adding captions to projects, and exporting your video properly).
GUIDED
9 sessions. Each week, Gerard hosts an hour-long Zoom session that includes a 15-minute-long recorded lesson, a Q and A session, and a brief discussion about the next week’s assignment. Each lesson and a recording of the Zoom session are posted to a members-only section of thecrashcourse.tv. Participants have access to that content for a full year. Each week we provide helpful resources and tips. In the sessions on editing, participants will work with custom-made Premiere Pro templates they’ll be able to keep and use after the course is over. These will include an animation of your logo, and easy-to-use templates for different types of videos. The guided course includes a lesson on social media marketing and sharing so you can get the most out of your videos.
