Black Lives Matter Video Training

In the time of COVID and the wake of the murdering of George Floyd, we wish to empower our members to share their thoughts, opinions, triumphs and sorrows in this tumultuous time. Now is the time to leverage our skills and our reach, to exercise our 1st Amendment rights and push our country to honor, protect and elevate all the many strands that make it diverse.

In this class we will teach you how to produce impactful videos on the BLM movement using your smartphone and teleconferencing software.

• Use Zoom or your phone to create video on the BLM movement
• Optimize video, lighting and audio aesthetics with your phone or computer
• Best practices for documenting protests and demonstrations
• Tips for navigating discussions on race and equity

Themes include:

• How has the murder of George Floyd and ensuing outrage/crisis impacted you?
• What are you doing to help?
• How do we move the social justice movement forward? 
• What have you learned from this experience?
• Do you have a message of hope for others?

We will host the online workshop via Zoom. When you have registered for the class, we will send you a link and password to the meeting. Please make sure your computer, tablet, or phone meets Zoom Meeting requirements. Here is a video on how to use Zoom.
