Course Information

About This Course

The film is the visual art to tell a story, and it's the way narratives are transformed into true stories, but the true master of this art is the person behind the camera. Learn the basics of filmmaking and be a pro at operating the camera. Learn how to create depth to get cinematic shots into your sets.

It doesn't matter if you're creating tutorials, interviews, a film, or even more important video calls, you always need a set. In this class, you're going to learn to create your own film set in your home. The most important part of filmmaking is cinematography and sometimes it's hard to achieve these nice shots.

What will I learn. In this class, we're going to start the filmmaking journey by creating a cinematic shot with the right framing. Then we're going to understand the importance of camera angles and movement.

The next step in filmmaking will be telling a story because the film is the visual art to tell a story. The story is the most important part of filmmaking, and it will be the longest part of this class. We're going to see how different framing, angles, and movements can tell different emotions and feelings.
