via Skillshare

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

In this course, you’ll create a short, high-quality video using practical tips proven processes from my experience as a professional filmmaker. You’ll learn how to be an efficient, and well-prepared solo filmmaker whether it’s for your own content or professional work!

Drawing on over ten years of experience and trial and error as a professional filmmaker and content creator mainly working by myself or in small teams, I’ll show you how to:

  • Choose video, audio, and other gear to get everything done on your own while balancing cost, quality, ease of use, and mobility
  • In-depth breakdowns of several content types and how to approach them as a solo filmmaker
  • Plan your solo shoots
  • Set up a simple home studio or shooting nook to enable yourself to shoot quality talking heads by yourself
  • Approach solo shoots while traveling
  • Do file management in preparation for a good edit
  • Approach an edit from start to finish

This course will arm you with practical knowledge that is relevant to today’s creators, yet is often overlooked in formal film education. Building on my previous course, “From Clueless to Content Creator,” this course will further demystify the process, share proven experience, and empower the student to shoot high-quality videos on their own.  These skills will also provide a strong foundation from which to grow as a filmmaker and video content creator in any niche.

This course is for beginner and intermediate video creators alike. Beginners will be armed with a full set of skills and knowledge to get started, while intermediate creators will find a lot of useful tips and insights on solo filmmaking.
