Student Reviews:

“I really couldn't possibly rave enough about Hailey and her film making class. I went into her class with no previous experience in film, other than taking videos on my iPhone. I had been wanting to learn how to start shooting film on my DSLR for such a long time now and knew this would be the perfect opportunity to dive in and learn. I truly feel that Hailey went above and beyond in the information, knowledge and experience she shared with us throughout the course. She put so much time and effort into answering our questions and providing us with feedback and she was so supportive and encouraging. I'm coming away from the class with a big fat brain full of information but with an even fuller heart. I've been bitten by the film bug and it feels so great to be exploring a new area of art through my camera. She's amazing at what she does and I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from her!”

Prerequisites

A camera to film on. This can be a DSLR and would suit more intermediate and advanced film-making. Or you can even use a phone that has a video feature. You do not need to have made a film in the past to take part in this course but it would be useful to know how to shoot on manual mode. I would also suggest having a hard drive to store footage as it tends to take up a lot of room on your computer or laptop.

We will be using Adobe Premiere for the edit but please note that it is not imperative you use this. The general idea of editing can be applied to several different applications that are available. Some suggestions are iMovie, final cut x, Windows, and movie maker. Please note as I do not use these programs I can’t help you with operating them. The basics of editing will be shown using Adobe Premiere and you can apply that to whatever program you use.
