About the event: 

Harness the power of your smartphone and free online tools to produce effective marketing and promotional material for your music group.

This session is all about the tips and tricks you need to know to create professional quality material from the humble smartphone. No previous experience necessary!

Within the event we'll be working through the entire process; starting with capturing an image or video on a smartphone, editing the content, right through to publishing the finished article on an online platform to suit your needs. 

There'll also be time to ask questions throughout the session and there'll be no expectation that you have any prior experience in the subject.

This event will be hosted by Leon Gower, a Digital Producer and Digital Educator who's collaborated with Making Music since 2020.

We'll talk about:

  • Smartphone Photography: best practices
  • Smartphone Videography:  best practices
  • Extras: using tripods, lighting, microphones with your smartphone
  • Using your photos or footage:
    • How to get the images or footage off your device
    • Free online tools for video or photo editing
    • Best practices in editing smartphone produced photography or video
  • Stock footage/photography
  • Exporting and publishing
    • How to get the final product off your device and out to your audience

There will be an opportunity to ask questions via the chat function during the event.
There will be a short break during the event.
