YouTube CreatorLevel: Beginner
Kids will learn how to plan, produce, edit and share videos on today’s most popular digital platform – YouTube.
Course Information
Sharing everyday stories on social media has become part of our daily routine. Can this casual activity turn into (with a little help and guidance) an artistic expression? Our YouTube Creator course provides children with the tools to express themselves in an artistic and professional way. As kids produce their own videos, they gain confidence, develop their identity and find healthy productive ways to process their emotions. If your children love social media and you wish to enrich their set of tools with a fun and creative activity, then this course is the answer.
We will introduce your children to the magnificent world of video production. From planning a storyboard to using unique shooting angles, kids will acquire various creative and technological skills. They will learn how to use professional editing tools and share their video projects on their own YouTube channel. They will become creators instead of just being consumers.
During the course kids will learn to:
- Create content for social media
- Produce, shoot and edit videos
- Setup and design a successful YouTube channel
