Creating engaging short-form video content doesn't have to be complicated.

This beginner-friendly workshop is designed for small business owners, marketers, creators and anyone wanting to create short-form video content. Whether you're creating videos for your business, your personal brand, your travels or simply for fun, this practical session will guide you through the fundamentals of creating engaging videos using just your smartphone.

Drawing on my experience creating content for tourism businesses and destinations, I'll share practical techniques that anyone can apply to create content that captures attention and tells a story.

Together, we'll explore what captures attention in the first few seconds, how to structure a compelling video, and simple techniques to make your content more engaging. You'll learn how to capture better footage, select and arrange your clips, add text overlays, captions and music, and edit your videos into polished content using beginner-friendly apps.

The skills you'll learn can be applied across Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, as well as websites, email marketing and other digital platforms, giving you the confidence to create content wherever your audience is.

This is a hands-on workshop, so bring your smartphone, download either CapCut or Edits before the session, and have a selection of photos or video clips ready to use. You'll have the opportunity to follow along, practise what you've learned and leave with the confidence to continue creating your own short-form video content.

No previous experience is required - just a willingness to learn, experiment and have fun!
