Create a short character documentary (In a Day with No Budget)

Hello, and welcome!

 In this course, you will learn how you can find, structure, shoot, and share a story you are passionate about.

I will cover every stage of my creative process from finding the story or subject of your short documentary to shooting and editing.

 Lessons cover:

• Pre-production: discovering and researching your subject
• Production:  tactical tips for capturing visuals and audio when it's just you and a single camera (in a day).
• Post-production: editing tips for rhythm, pace, and style

 You'll learn how to create the kind of character-driven video portraits that distinguish great filmmakers.

 This class is perfect for filmmakers, documentarians, journalists, and all creative storytellers passionate to tell compelling narratives about the stories all around us.
