Advanced Videography: Make Your Videos Look Better

Overview

Do you ever watch a video and wish your videos looked better?

Perhaps it's a YouTuber you follow, a documentary you saw on Netflix, or a narrative film you saw in theaters... you can capture shots that look just like the professionals.

This Advanced Videography Course tackles getting the right shot. We focus on how to improve the videos you capture: going from mediocre shots to professional & creative ones.

By the end of this class, you'll be inspired and know the exact steps to improving your next video.

This course is meant to take your video productions to the next level. What does that mean? This means making your videos look more like the films & videos you watch online, on TV, or in theaters and dream of making.

Follow us as we create three video projects: a corporate documentary video, a commercial promotional video, and a travel vlog. Within each project, we walk through the entire process of:

1. Planning our project
2. Brainstorming & storyboarding our shots
3. Capturing our shots
4. Improving our shots

You'll see how we get good standard shots, but then take them to the next level with more advanced & creative shots.

You should take this course if you know how to use your camera to capture video; you know the basics of video settings; you already have experience making your own videos. But, you're wanting to take your videography to the next level.

You may wonder what it takes to get the shots you see on TV. Or perhaps you have just run out of ideas for how to capture an upcoming project.

This course is for anyone who wants to make their videos look more professional & eye-catching.
