What's included in this course?
Start the course with a warm welcome from your teacher Merakio. He explains how he took the leap from actor to content creator and what inspires him to make videos. He also shows you some of his favorite pieces.
In the second unit, learn what a vlog is and analyze the strong suits of its pioneering artists. Then, start developing your own style and discover the best target audience for your content by mapping out your personal interests.
Now it's time to make your first video. Merakio shows you the differences between filming in a controlled indoor space, engineered by you, and an uncontrolled outdoor space. He also gives you tips on how to produce quality images and sound, without sacrificing that spontaneous feel, before moving on to post-production.
Learn how to edit and frame images, select music and sound effects, and add text. To wrap things up, Merakio explains everything you need to know to upload a video to YouTube, from how to choose the best title to how to interpret the statistics. Now hit the streets and start making content!
