Smartphone Videoproduction
Next date in autumn 2026
09:00–15:00
Your Smartphone is a Mini Film Studio – turn it on, start filming, get creative!
But what does it take to make a video that truly works? In this workshop, you’ll learn the essential basics of video production:
- Smartphone vs. camera: When to use what
- Storytelling: How to tell a compelling story
- Visual composition: Creating the perfect shot
- Lighting made simple
- Sound: How to get great audio
- Practical tips for better smartphone filming
- Video editing with the CapCut app
During the workshop, you’ll develop your own video idea, shoot and edit it directly on your smartphone. The goal is to leave with a finished video by the end of the day.
What to bring:
- A smartphone (recent model, iOS or Android) with at least 2 GB of free storage and a full battery
- Charger and, if possible, a power bank
- Headphones
- The free app “YouCut” installed (free version is enough; recommended: deactivate all data-agreements when opening the app)
- Optionally, you can bring your own video idea to work on during the workshop, or use existing footage you’ve already filmed.
