This course teaches the essential video and filmmaking skills you need to know in order to shoot great videos and films. All the lectures are based on direct personal professional experience gained over 20 years as a director and self-shooter.

The course is presented as a 'boot camp' - a 12-Step Program that is very action-orientated, with a exercise accompanying every lecture and core topic to complete before moving on to the next one.

In this way, you are guaranteed to absorb the teaching and hugely improve your films and videos.

The course takes you step by step, including into some territory normally associated with higher end cinematography.

The main focus, though, is to instil confidence and skills into anyone owning and wishing to use a video-capable camera of any kind - camcorder, smartphone, DSLR or professional video camera.

A key advantage of being in this course is the opportunity to ask Paul Jenkins questions regarding film and video making directly.

Also, to put up in the course Discussions examples drawn from your work in the course Exercises in order to have it positively critiqued inside the course community and by Paul himself.

By taking this course, you will emerge as a confident and skilled film and video maker. You'll know which shots to take, how to take them, how to control the filming situation to your advantage and...most importantly...have a smile on your face when you, your family and friends, and perhaps clients watch the results of your work
