Creating A Video

Topic

What have you mastered, what do you LOVE? Being passionate and knowledgeable about your topic will make your training outstanding and engaging. Write down your skills, talents and life experiences that you can transmit to others. The topic you picked is valuable to you. Think WHY is it so? What is it giving to you that you are going through all the obstacles of production? Think if this topic and outcome will be motivating and providing a strong enough WHY for others to follow you on the path of achievement.

Value

This academy is successful providing already valuable content think through how your idea can be a valuable addition. Think about the biggest problems students are facing or that is making them hesitated to start their journey you have set out. What can you provide to overcome the initial obstacles? Your lessons will be only valuable if students are certain that they will succeed.

Demand

Do not create for nobody. Being a teacher is about thinking what will help others.

Tests your idea by asking others on social media how they react to see if it has demand or not. Many creative’s are making the mistake of working just for them self or just following a hype.

Outcomes

Learning outcomes is what counts for students. Your video goal must be understood and be clear what value it will provide. Let it be clear HOW your video will support help your students. Write down: the skills they will be able to experience from you. The new knowledge they will obtain. How will you engage them in the process to achieve an outcome?

Content

Get together what you need to produce the video. Do not let the sheer volume of information and possibilities get you in an endless preparation. Pick what is absolutely necessary, focus and leave out the rest.

Plan

You students want to get from A to B. The endpoint B is why they are here; plan all the necessary milestones they have to achieve to get to B. Map out the milestones first and lay out them into the most progressive and logical manner. Group together your similar themes, tips, and ideas to those milestones. If you don’t have any plan you can follow this easiest structure:

a) Explain the value, opportunity or the benefit of your video outcome

b) Introduction of the topic, an overview of milestones and materials

c) Work process from A to outcome B using the explained milestones

d) Recap

Methods

Pick your style to deliver your content. Reaching point B for your students will be achieved easier when you pick the right way of delivering the milestones to get there. Think about the learning Methods, preferences and all of the different ways that you can support them on their path. Lay out your visuals and explanations you must deliver. Remember: Over explanation can be easily cut out later in video editing, missing explanations will confuse the students.

Testing

Develop your course plan and script. Plan how you are going to deliver each element picture yourself going from scene to scene. Start filming when you are just planning and thinking about your delivery. Watching yourself “dry swimming” will make it clear what and how to change your script and setting. Check your first filming for picture clarity and audio. Are you and what you are doing and presenting absolutely clear? Test it by watching it on the smallest possible screen (like your Phone). Even in this small size everything that you are presenting should be visible. (especially light pencil lines are despairing on video). Watch your test video just as audio. Is it making sense without seeing what is going on? No. Then you know when you have to describe more.

Filming

It is time just to hop in front of the camera and do it. Remember it is not about you, but about the artistic value, you will provide. If you worry about your look, just make sure that in the same comfortable outfit for you in which on the other hand you would turn up in the Museum for your achievement award. Edit your video and upload it on YouTube or another platform so you can send a link to us. For Future Videos check the requirements that follow. We will support you with an analysis when you want to get not only better but to deliver your outstanding talent and skills to our students.

Guidelines for video and course

Minimal course requirements clear video, good audio, if possible divided into 5 lectures or more, and at least 30 minutes of video content.

The course material may only include information relevant to your course topic.

Do not include or post :

• Your website, social media profiles, or contact information in any form.

• Links to paid content outside the Academy page.

• Personal information about students.

• Any links especially of affiliates.

• Any marketing material. Like: art materials, coupon codes, links or promotional references.

• Connections of any kind to courses that request students to pay or provide personal information.

Policy Restrictions.

Art can have the duty to test the boundaries of our time. That's why you as an artist should produce your own art to do so if it is of importance to you. The focus of becoming a teacher is not to experiment on students but to deliver on cultural values. Our Policy Motto, in a nutshell, is: "If you cannot deliver with values of culture then you cannot deliver." The students of this academy have plenty of opportunities to seek the experiment and confrontation outside of this page. Please respect that for some students this is the safe haven that they have chosen.

The video will be rejected if:

• Outrage, shock or conflict marketing or attention measures are used.

• The videos are used to propagate politics, philosophy or any other hyped social movement.

• The content would be improper or misplaced for a public screening at a museum not representing the values of the academy or culture.

• The videos are available in countries that don’t allow images of sex. Please avoid images that depict sexually explicit, drugs, alcohol, provoking nudity.

• We avoid showing violence. The appearance of guns and other weapons isn't allowed.

• Non-gruesome imagery and horror choose assets with as little gore as possible.

• Content does is misrepresenting values or philosophical direction of the Academy. (Dissimilar art style or propagating ideas against humanity and culture).

YES, there are paintings that are making all the points from the list necessary. BUT ask yourself if your skill cannot be shown on a different motive. Please do not cut students from different cultural background out just to make yourself stand out with outrage, shock or conflict. Humans have many facets. We and the students are interested in this platform only about your facet as an art mentor.
