Introduction and learning objectives
Welcome to Module 3 of the Seniors4Change training program!
Throughout this unit, we’ll be learning more about the principles of videography using your smartphone. This will enable everyone to create videos showcasing their sustainable DIY hobbies to as many people as possible. This unit will be an opportunity to learn all the stages involved in making a meaningful video, from thinking about the best way to represent a subject in a film to the final editing of your video.
Sharing your knowledge and skills in a visual and entertaining way is an excellent way of involving a large number of people with varied profiles and enabling them to discover a theme or DIY practice by example by following the entire creation process, from the obstacles to overcome to the rewarding final product.
We’ll also focus on the preparatory stages, which should be carried out before you even start filming. This will give you time to think about the importance of your DIY practice and how best to show the benefits you want to share with others. It will also enable you to film efficiently, with the whole structure of your video already in mind, as well as its final objective.
The following learning objectives are addressed in this module:
- Discover the storyboarding method to prepare yourself for making a video by thinking about your objectives and carefully planning the best way to share your sustainable DIY best practices.

- Learn the principles of photography and videography on a smartphone by acquiring basic knowledge of how to use the Camera application on your smartphone.
