I had a great time teaching a smartphone video production class on Sunday. It was a full-day workshop where I shared my tips and tricks on how to create engaging videos using only a smartphone. I also modified the lessons from a two-day format to a one-day format to suit the needs of the participants.
Some of the achievements of the day were:
- Completing the modified lessons on time and covering all the essential topics.
- Having 20+ participants who were highly interactive and produced some interesting videos.
- Revealing my updated social media findings for the first time in a class and showing how to do more than upload a video to get more reach in a social media presence.
Some of the challenges I faced were:
- Forgetting to take a group photo with the participants. I always like to capture the memories of each workshop.
- Feeling tired because of the late-night preparation for the modified slides. I wanted to make sure everything was perfect and relevant.
- Forgetting to pre-inform participants about the showtime where they could showcase their work. I left out the reminder slide while modifying the slides.
What can be done better next time:
- Bring a wireless power bank for my Galaxy S22 Ultra while it is plugged into the HDMI projection for the whole day. I don't want to risk running out of battery or having to unplug it during the workshop.
