Dongdaemun-gu Informatization Library 'Media Creation Support Center' Established... Supporting Promotional Video Production for Job Seekers and Small Business Owners

From Book Materials to Filming, Equipment Rental, and Editing All Available in One Space to Enhance User Convenience

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) has started operating the Media Creation Support Center on the basement first floor of the Dongdaemun-gu Information Library.

The Dongdaemun-gu Information Library has created a creative space capable of YouTube production for the first time among public libraries in the area, keeping pace with the rapidly changing media environment, and operates it as a space accessible to all residents.

This center is established within the Dongdaemun-gu Information Library Makerspace, which has played a pivotal role in spreading maker culture, offering the advantage of utilizing various book materials held by the library as well as media planning, production, filming, editing, and equipment use all in one space.

Additionally, residents who have been interested in YouTube production but found it difficult to purchase expensive equipment or find suitable spaces can use the latest equipment such as a small soundproof studio for video shooting and recording, editing rooms, cameras, prompters, lighting, and tripods at a low cost.

Furthermore, the center is preparing to provide media production consulting support for residents, and equipped with the latest equipment and software, it plans to operate customized programs such as video resume production to enhance the capabilities of job seekers and media video production promoting small local businesses to expand employment opportunities.

Along with this, the Media Creation Support Center will also run various educational programs ranging from basic theories to advanced practical skills that solo media creators need to learn, to develop diverse non-face-to-face content necessary during the prolonged COVID-19 situation.

The educational programs are conducted in stages of practice and participation beyond simple technical training to enhance user expertise. Inviting external experts, valuable lectures such as video editing, photography and SNS utilization, and advice on YouTube creative activities, which are generally difficult for the public to access, are also planned.

In April, three programs will be operated including Easy Photoshop for Seniors (Beginner and Intermediate) and Starting YouTube with a Smartphone.

Applications can be made from March 24 through the Dongdaemun-gu integrated reservation site or by visiting the Dongdaemun-gu Information Library.

For facility use inquiries, contact the Dongdaemun-gu Information Library.

Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “We will plan and operate various programs so that residents can actively utilize the Media Creation Support Center in the future, contributing to the revitalization of media culture.”
