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 initial concept, logline, and structure right through to planning on a tight budget, working with small teams, and carrying out efficient shoots. You'll pick up hands-on skills in lighting, framing, and recording clear sound, then progress to editing, sound design, and using music that's free of royalties. Wrap up with a straightforward plan for releasing and entering festivals to connect with actual viewers using minimal resources.
