Wow, you must have a very steady hand! Do you drink coffee before you shoot?

I've run ad campaigns on Facebook, Instagram and Google. I heard some valuable information on some entrepreneur podcasts that Facebook ads seem to work better than Instagram, more people are moving to Facebook this year. But the most interesting thing I heard is that an untapped resource seems to be independent streaming channels like Hulu and Disney+. I am definitely going to be digging deeper into these and platforms.

Another platform I heard is working great to run ads is Reddit. Since there's so much AI and bots, Reddit is a great platform to find actual people that have a opinion. I have used it alot to do honest customer research, and find out what people are thinking about a product or idea. I will definitely be running ads on this platform in the near future.

Interesting. Yes, there's always the staredown to build the tension before the action.

@Njabulo Mpungose one problem I encounter when I'm in front of the camera is that I'm a tall guy, so the camera person has to hold the camera high, or else they get a low angle which makes me look like a giant. Also to get me plus another person in the frame is a challenge. That's why I had us both sitting down.

@Njabulo Mpungose thanks for your consideration. I want to build a course that anyone with basic knowledge can take to have enough skills to get a job as a videographer. Remember, as a videographer, you are not getting your own vision onto film, you have to communicate with the client to get their vision onto film. Often the client doesn't have a clear picture of what they want, but they have requirements. If you are doing ads or marketing, you have to study your customer avatar, and figure out what attracts them. If your customer avatar is mothers with kids, the video will look a lot different than if you made a passion project for yourself. Many of these skills or techniques, you have to research deeper and practice yourself to be able to use when you are in-set with a client. For example getting a book or watching some tutorials on photography will teach you a ton about framing, composition, ect. When you have the basic skills down, then you are able to see a cool technique in a movie, try it yourself and be able to use it on- set. Things will get more advanced as we progress as well, I'm starting at the most basic, and progressing from there. Hope that helps.

@Bridget OSullivan thanks Bridget, next module is almost done, will be posted soon!
