How to use Shoot2Share to create and share travel videos

1. “Consumer behaviour and expectations have forever changed. With powerful phones in our pockets,
we do more than just check the time, text a spouse, or catch up with friends. We turn to our phones
with intent and expect brands to deliver immediate answers. It's in these I-want-to-know, I-want-to-
go, I-want-to-do, I-want-to-buy moments that decisions are made and preferences are shaped.”

2. Video is exploding on digital platforms & social media

3. Creating and sharing digital video is easy……or so they say!

4. First you need to create a storyboard for your video,
prepare a shot list and then get a film crew together.

5. Once you’ve filmed, you need to do some digital editing -
which can be a bit more complicated than initially thought!

6. Once you’re finished editing, you then need to export your video
in the correct formats to share across social media platforms.

7. There are loads of filming & editing apps
available, but they don’t cover the full process.

8. All a bit too complicated????

9. What if there was a much easier way to create
and share video, using only your smartphone?

10. Shoot2Share
