3 hours

Class size 1 to 6 (public classes), 5 to 10
  £145

Our smartphone video safaris build on our much-loved photography sessions, incorporating techniques to shoot video content. We cover essential scenarios, including capturing moving subjects, exploring spaces with a moving camera, and even how to film people in a flattering way. After two hours of filming, the editing section dives into the free editing app, CapCut. You’ll leave with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to make your home and holiday videos better. Suitable for any make and model of phone.
In recent years, the Greenwich Peninsula has undergone a radical transformation. Situated opposite Canary Wharf and home to the iconic O2 Arena, the area is now bustling with striking residential developments, public art, and a brand new creative hub.
Sculptures by Damien Hurst and Sir Anthony Gormley decorate the riverside, while modern architecture and the cable car punctuate the skyline. The deliberately diverse Design District delivers distinctive on-camera opportunities. All said, it’s an urban space full of colour, texture, vistas, open water, and dramatic skies ready to be your backdrop.
Group safaris cover general skills for capturing footage for travel, food, or similar vlogging, live events, home movies, and selfie videos and will include:
  • Essential camera set-up for video recording
  • Choosing the right filming locations
  • Understanding composition
  • Moving Camera vs Moving Subjects
  • Foundations of video editing on CapCut

Recent reviews of Smartphone Videography Workshop - Greenwich Peninsula

  • 5/5 from Julia Howe, attended Sep 2025: This was a really great workshop. I learnt so much from Mike about storytelling on video in the 3hrs. We discussed my goals, he challenged me to film things and then we discussed my shot choices and how to improve them. Overall I learnt how to slow down, make more deliberate filming choices. I have left motivated to practise and film more. Many thx to Mike!! I need to finish editing my video so can’t upload yet!
