How to Prepare for a 2-day Videography Training Stint

Sample the anxiety I go through during this period.

Well, tomorrow is the day. The start of another 2 days of teaching.

How do I feel?

It’s like studying for my school exams all over… and this is for real.

For real?

I will be bombarded with questions tomorrow and my answers have to be correct.

So, how am I or what am I preparing?

• Update slides with the latest information
• Print out the worksheets for distribution
• Update and Print out the attendance sheet
• Upload updated course slides to private member site
• Prepare certificates
• Pack a luggage full of video production gear
• Clean up my MacBook Pro for presentation

Then visualise or rather rehearse in my head the day’s proceedings.

• Before class, talk personally with each participant to garner attention and interest.
• Turn off background activities on the MacBook Pro to prevent lag.
• Video record lessons while I teach.
• Prepare refreshment. Coffee. Sugar. Creamer. Cups. Stirrer. Mineral water.
• Take a group photo during the hands-on studio setup project.
