Organisations are increasingly using short videos to promote and deliver information. Learn to direct, produce and edit a short video production that you can add to your portfolio to show future employers. Gain technical skills in shooting, learn how to use sound and apply video editing techniques that professionals use on a regular basis.

Create storyboards to visualise your screen direction, and plan and write a script. During your course, you’ll understand the importance of good planning and time management in a video production.

You will not need any specialist video production to complete this course. All you need is your smart phone. As a UniSA Online student, you will also have access to Adobe Premiere Pro to edit your work for free.

UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree.
