What Will I Learn?

• Shoot compelling video and capture your audience
• Understand clearly, with every shoot you do, what footage is needed to edit fantastic video
• Be an outstanding camera operator that producers love to use because they always deliver great, editor-friendly footage
• Fix the problem of being frustrated at the edit stage.
• Be in touch with a broadcast professional. I do my best to answer EVERY question posted to help you in your journey to learn great video storytelling.

Requirements

• You will need video camera, or still camera with video capability.
• Your camera can be any HD camera. It can be basic, or high-end. It does not matter, because, like the best stove doesn't make a great chef, a great camera does not make a great filmmaker
• You should have some video shooting experience. This course is intermediate.
• Ideally, you should also have some basic understanding of video editing using computers.

Target audience

• This video course is meant for those who desire to shoot compelling video. It ensures that your footage is ready for the edit.
• This course is essential learning for any still photographer wanting to get into video.
• We focus on creating great content. We believe that far to much emphasis is given to equipment in most courses available today.
• This course may be too advanced for you if you have never shot stills or video before.
• This is not an overly technical course. If you want to learn about specific cameras, lenses, codecs and what lens hood to choose, this course may not fulfil all your needs.
• At the end of my course, students will have a clear understanding of what is required to shoot for the edit. Their footage will not only be better, but better suited to great storytelling and audience retention.
• You'd love to be involved in a crew on a set or shoot, but are concerned how to work with directors, producers and other crew members.
