Before Christmas we launched the ‘Romantic Reimaginings’ video project, designed to broaden the scope of Romantic studies and diversify our audience here at BARS. By utilising the benefits of short form video (content under 60 seconds), we’re hoping to engage a new generation of readers, writers, and scholars in the wonderful world of Romantic literature! Find out more about the project by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below you can find out about our process for creating content, as well as some top tips. We hope you find it useful, and remember to please get in touch with us at britishassociationromantic@gmail.com if you’d like to get involved – we would love to hear your ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Content Creation Process and Top Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begin by drafting a script. Practice reading it aloud to ensure it comes in at 60 seconds or less. Send the script to us at britishassociationromantic@gmail.com<\/a> with the subject line \u2018TikTok script\u2019. We\u2019ll make any suggested edits and get this back to you to film!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re looking to create content that engages an audience immediately – in 60 seconds you don\u2019t have long to do this. Where possible, try to avoid any preamble – get straight to the point when writing your script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry about being original – it\u2019s perfectly fine to analyse a word\/line from a poem that has been written about countless times. This project is designed to make Romantic studies accessible to a wider audience; it\u2019s not the place for ground-breaking research, so no pressure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your content involves filming yourself, work with a bright light and try to capture footage that\u2019s as clear as possible. Record any audio in a quiet location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to edit the footage yourself, but you\u2019re more than welcome to send it to us and we\u2019ll edit it for you. If you do edit it yourself, please keep copyright in mind when selecting images – use material that is in the public domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your video doesn\u2019t have to be 60 seconds long! Feel free to create something significantly shorter if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re happy with what you\u2019ve created, send it to us. We\u2019ll perform any final checks and upload it to the TikTok account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
