Presenting on Camera: The Art of Communication

Start the course by getting to know your teacher Domingas Person. She tells you about her path to becoming a journalist, reporter, actor, and voice over artist, inspired by her love of communicating and her family background in filmmaking. She also discusses those in the world of cinema that have influenced her.

Identify and explore what makes a good video. Look at the importance of connecting with your audience, and the power of visuals in your video. Domingas guides you through what you need to consider before your recording such as location, lighting, and framing. Then, discover what it takes to communicate well and convey the feeling you want to express.

Put what you’ve learned into practice and start recording the first takes of your video. Domingas begins by teaching you how to introduce yourself, and how to structure your script. She then guides you through creating the right flow, engaging viewers, and the skill of storytelling. Learn the value of nonverbal communication, including posture, eye contact, and gestures, before working on tone of voice and language.

Develop your brand by discovering what sets you apart from others and how to be authentically you. Practice introducing yourself in the style of a 30-second elevator pitch and learn how to leave a good impression in a short amount of time. End the course by making your final video, and hear Domingas´ advice on how and where to reach your audience.
