Project Description
The camera is there, the motivation too – but you still do not know how to produce exactly one movie? Perfect, you can stop worrying because you’ve found what you’re looking for! This course is much more than just 16 hours of dry theory: 4 weeks – 1 evening a week – 4 hours of basic knowledge and concepts, tips and tricks, applications and personal feedback. Then there is the second important part: interesting exercises and tasks to implement and deepen the course learned, and to cut and discuss the video clips taken directly at the next meeting. Each week a different production step is discussed, for each topic, there are new exercises and a week to implement them. Best of all: emerging difficulties, problems or questions can be discussed, explained, solved and avoided the next time!
In these weeks, you will be completely immersed in the subject matter, working intensively with your camera and various techniques and improving yourself from week to week. This comprehensive course program provides the perfect foundation for our advanced courses.
