You are teaching video techniques and storytelling, and you are not overly concerned about how it looks. I’ve found two productive ways to teach video. One is to start with a storyboard I wrote ahead of time and concentrate on the technical aspects of video. The other is to approach students with an open slate by letting them decide what to say and how to say it. Both have benefits and drawbacks.

When video is used as a promotional tool, quality of the final product is key. The charity is going to show this video to others, so if it looks cheap, your production will hinder rather than advance the cause. Nonprofits can benefit from video in many ways, including volunteer recruitment. Frequently, representatives will go to community groups to talk about the charity. It’s great when they have a video in hand that shows happy volunteers and clients

Why not give your video expertise away for good by helping out a charity? You’ll have a built-in audience, a story to tell and a real reason to shoot. Plus, you will take away some great stuff for your demo reel.
