What will I learn?

The Filmmaker Course teaches you how to transform a simple idea into a well-finished short film, taking you from the concept, logline, and structure all the way to planning on a small budget, working with compact teams, and carrying out efficient shoots. You will learn practical ways to handle lighting, framing, and capturing clear sound, then proceed to editing, sound design, and using music that doesn't cost royalties. Finally, you will develop a straightforward plan for releasing and entering festivals to connect with actual viewers using limited means.
