Take your video projects further

So, you've learnt the video jargon, taken control of the movie settings on your camera and can now even edit together footage in postproduction...the question is, what are you going to do next? If you’ve followed all the modules in this series, you should now have a firm grasp on the massive potential your camera can offer you, the footage you can create and how you can make your movies stand out from the crowd. There should be no doubt that there’s never been a better time to step into video and explore all the creative opportunities today’s hybrid cameras can offer. But the journey doesn’t stop here; in fact, this is just the beginning as there’s so much more you can pursue with these newly found skills.

Share your video

Now that you’ve created a film, it’s time to share your footage with the masses and the good news is that today’s videographers have many options. Let’s start with social media. As you'll already know, platforms like Facebook and Instagram are fantastic ways to share a video with a huge amount of people in a convenient way. What’s more, you can further target the people who you think will find your video interesting by adding hashtags during the upload so, for example, if your video is about macro photography, and you add this as a hashtag, those people will be able to search out and find your video much more easily. There are even more platforms to explore too; for example, YouTube is a great platform to use if your video is more long form although YouTube does now support quicker clips thanks to YouTube Shorts). Lastly, many videographers are

pushing the boundaries and sharing their work on newer platforms such as TikTok, where vertically filmed video is the norm.
