Video Mastery
Intensive
Monday, April 10 & Tuesday, April 11
Adults in the US are watching over 300 minutes of video daily; kids are consuming even more. It’s no wonder learning and development professionals are increasingly asked to produce videos as an essential part of learning experiences.
The Video Mastery Intensive is a two-day, hands-on experience where attendees will explore the full planning and production process required to create effective instructional videos. Some of L&D’s leading experts on video usage will guide attendees through the creation of their own videos … from storyboarding and scripting through shooting and editing, and finally to posting and repurposing your final products.
Along the way, you’ll explore critical aspects of effective video including recommendations on equipment, tools, and software, as well as important things to remember to make sure your content is accessible and useful to all individuals and contexts.

- Anyone who wants to ensure the videos that are being created are following a proven methodology focused on instructional effectiveness
