With a mix of theory and practical exercises, the course provides the skills you need to capture the best footage and improve your confidence.
Many of the skills taught on this course can be applied to any camera or shooting format, meaning this course will be of benefit to you regardless of which camera/s you normally use. However it will be particularly focussed on the FS7 and there will be a chance to get hands-on with the new Sony FX9.
Through a series of practical exercises, you will learn how to frame and operate the camera both handheld and on the tripod, record good quality sound and shoot sequences. You will review exercises with the tutor and will be given individual feedback.
About the tutor: Stephen Hart is a Director of Photography/lighting cameraman with more than 30 years experience. He’s worked on numerous award-winning shows and filmed extensively all over the world and in his native Wales, for broadcasters including BBC, National Geographic and Discovery. www.stephenhart.co.uk
