Digital Content Creation: Enrolment Information

A list of reads recommended by our course team.

For Level 4 (New Students)

You are invited to introduce yourself through a 30-60 second reel. You can use whatever techniques you have available and whatever tells the story best.

You don’t have to tell us everything; pick something specific, surprising or unusual and communicate it creatively.

You may choose whether to appear or not in the video; you might use voiceover or text. This is a chance to introduce yourself, make the kind of content you enjoy making and share the things you care about.

This is a yearly tradition! We will watch these reels when we meet for the first time in September, as a way of introducing ourselves to each other.

Format:

• You can shoot this video on your own phone, and edit it within the Tiktok/Instagram editor.
• Shoot in vertical format.
• You are welcome, of course, to use other cameras or editing software if preferred.
• You can then either post it to your own account, or you can download the video without posting.

Send either a link to where you have posted the video, or email it to the course team

Document your summer break, and cut it into a piece of content! This could be in the form of a video vlog or diary, or short reel. You don’t need to show us everything; pick a particular creative and engaging angle on your summer, a trip, a project, boredom, a game, a summer job, a hobby, an event etc. Use whichever form of content feels most natural to you and your intended audience. The resultant content can be anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes long.

When we return, we will view your content as a way of catching up with each other.

Please email the video (either as a link, or an H.264 MP4 file) to the course team
