If you want to reach a younger, non-scientific audience, you can't get around videos these days. Video content is particularly popular on social media.

The workshop is divided into two modules of 180 minutes each, held on different days.

Module 1 covers the basics:

• Planning a video: What do I want to achieve and how? Target groups, goals, messages
• Basic rules of image design and visual storytelling using examples.
• What is needed: Overview and selection of technical equipment
• Practical exercise at home: participants shoot a video with their smartphone

In module 2, participants practise what they have learned:

• Concluding discussion and feedback using some examples from the course
• Participants produce the video together in the course (editing and sound)

Participants learn how to create their own video with their smartphone, from the idea to the final edit.
