This course focuses on social media and gives you the tools to set up and maintain your own YouTube channel. Students will use software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop and After Effects as well as becoming an expert with the programs they have at home. You will also receive your very own flip camera!

Throughout the week you will learn the process of setting up and customizing your YouTube Channel, writing and planning for weekly & daily videos, how to vlog like a professional, the art of the meme, editing and software techniques and how to promote your videos once they’ve been uploaded.

You will leave GIFTS with several 1-4 minute high quality films to upload over time on your YouTube channel. So, if you want to be the next Julian Smith, RayWilliamJohnson, LisaNova or sxephil, this is the course for you!

GIFTS is extremely proud and excited to welcome Cassandra “NerdzRL” Croft, as this course’s mentor. Cassandra is a popular YouTube vlogger and filmmaker from Burnaby, BC. Her YouTube channels “NerdzRL” - a video log of her life, ever single day - and “Nerdz4L” - her skits and weird videos - have ~ 12,000 subscribers each, from all over the world.
