Week One - Film a Video, Edit a Video

In week one we are going to start at the very beginning. You're going to grab your camera or phone (whatever you have available for filming) and you're going to film a video. And then you're going to choose editing software, and edit a video. That's it. Well, I know it sounds simple but it's actually a lot and in today's video I'm going to give you some practical tools and advice to get that very first video done and dusted.

Last week you filmed and edited your first video. Congratulations! How did it feel? Was it awkward? Were you like Wil Ferrell in Anchorman and didn't know what to do with your hands? Don't worry, that's actually normal. This week I'm going to share some guidance and things that helped me when I was getting comfortable in front of the camera both when filming at home or even filming in a public place.
