Video Storytelling: How to Shoot Engaging Stories Like A Broadcasting Pro

via Skillshare

Overview

This class is for aspiring videographers who wish to create and tell stories, to captivate an audience.

Do you want to take your footage and entertain a huge audience? Then this course is for you, because this course is different. Unlike the vast majority of video courses, this one is not about equipment. because in truth, an audience is not the least bit interested in clever technologies and cameras. They want to be entertained! Be an entertainer now!

Remember, the best films and videos are the ones that people talk about. And the only way to have someone talk about your film, is to have it change the way they feel. Good storytelling is the key to changing the way people feel. And I'm here to show you how that's done by professionals.

This first course is about shooting skills needed. In other courses, I go deep into the editing techniques used creating wonderful stories.

Your teacher is a British broadcast professional with 40 years in TV production, cinema film commercials production, TV documentaries and YouTube.
