This course is split into 2 online, hands-on workshops where you will be filming content and editing a professional quality smartphone film. Helped by 3 trainers during and after the workshops, with loads of support materials to ensure your success. 6-12 students.
1 half-day filming workshop. You’ll be guided through focus, exposure, depth of field, types of shots, lighting, stability, sound, and storage.
1 half-day editing workshop. You’ll be guided through 2 apps from set up to basic editing, managing audio, animation, subtitling, and credits.
Ongoing support for 60 days. You can ask for help, get feedback on your videos and see what others on the course are getting up to.
As well as the live, hands-on workshops, you'll receive constant support and care to ensure you succeed in making fantastic films on your phone.
We'll send you loads of revision materials covering all the content we teach you so you can always go back to them if you get stuck. You'll also have access to a Zoom recording of our sessions so you can follow along with it or skip forward and backwards at your own pace.
Our team love problem-solving and are on hand inside and outside of sessions to answer your questions. For 60 days you'll have access to support and advice from us whenever you need us.
We like to train in small groups so you have a community of peers to join you on your filmmaking journey. You'll get to know people from completely different filmmaking and career backgrounds that will hopefully inspire and encourage you to keep at it!
Any at all! Most of our students have done a bit of filming and little to no editing on their phones. Our training always goes as fast as the slowest person in the group but with 3 trainers available, we can make sure even the most experienced filmmaker leaves with new skills.
You need a working smartphone that's either Android or iPhone to train on as well as a laptop or other device to follow the training live on Zoom. You'll be asked to download 3 apps in advance: Filmic Pro (£12.99) and 2 free editing apps.
We hope so! You'll get the most out of the training if you are available for both dates as the live workshop is the place where you can ask trainers more detailed questions and get live visual demonstrations. If you miss a workshop or any parts from them, you'll still have access to the recording as well as the revision resources and our support afterwards.
Our courses are very popular and we often have waiting lists so we don't expect this will happen. If it does, we will organise a full refund or offer to place you on another upcoming course date free of charge.
