Short videos are an increasingly popular format due to the broad availability of video-recording devices. But how do you ensure yours stand out for their quality and content?
Whether you’re interested in creating videos for business or pleasure, BBC-trained video journalist Rob Glass will show you how to embrace the power of storytelling and produce superb videos simply and effectively on an iPad or an iPhone – without lots of expensive equipment or editing programmes.
