A free manual for all those who wish to become smartphone videomakers
The manual of the little smartphone video-maker is a tool for all kids and adults, who want to learn how to make videos with their smartphone.
Origins of this free manual
It all started once upon a time in Anderlecht, a project of media literacy and social inclusion in the suburbs of Brussels.
It was the excuse Smart Videos was looking for to deepen an interest in digital education that has very ancient roots.
What you can learn
Thanks to this manual, you can understand the essential components of video production, the basic rules to respect, the simplest tools to start with.
What you will not find in this free manual
This manual does not talk about social media stories, advanced storytelling techniques, how to become a successful Youtuber. For that stuff, you can take a look elsewhere.
OUR VISION
What does it take to become a smartphone video-maker?
Passion and patience are the fundamental qualities of any small smartphone video-maker. The reason is that editing on a mobile device can be frustrating and the end result not always up to the effort put in.
1. Try, fail. Try better, fail better
The most important concept to keep in mind is that the more videos I take with my smartphone, the better they will be. When I have a little more experience, I can also start making a video a month.
3. Break the rules
Once following these rules feels as natural as drinking a glass of water, it is time to start breaking them.
Without a doubt, this is the most rewarding and significant moment in a learning journey, whatever the field.
2. Learn the 10 rules
Unquestionably, one of the most interesting elements of this free smartphone videomaking handbook are the ten basic rules to keep in mind when trying my hand at this discipline.
I discover them one by one and, above all, memorise them.
