Art Dare Prompt
Create a 15-30 second video short about your art practice, using a vertical format.
Tips
- Get ideas from other artists’ shorts on Tik Tok, Instagram, & YouTube.
- The “hook” is everything in a short.
- You have literally 1 second to get your viewer’s attention
- Even a 15 second video takes time, way more than you think
- The more video footage you have, the better.
- Stills are great to add, not everything has to be video for your short.
- Natural light from a window creates soft, even lighting
- Use very fast cuts when editing.
- Add graphics & captions.
- You can make captions in Tik Tok, or, use the Captions app.
- Editing software: Video Leap, iMovie, Adobe Rush.
- You can use Adobe Premiere Pro, but it’s overkill for a short.
- Sync your content to music that is related to the content.
