Videography Basics

A quick welcome and what to expect. I’ll explain who this course is for, how it works, and why it’s worth your time (and money).

What even is a videographer in today’s content world? Learn what makes it different from just filming stuff, and how to approach this like a pro from day one.

Let’s kill the gear anxiety. I’ll walk you through what’s actually important — and it’s not the fanciest camera. Start strong with budget-friendly tools that work.

Make your shots look good, every time. We’ll cover rule of thirds, headroom, lead room, and how to frame stuff like people, products, and motion properly.

Lighting can make or break your content. I’ll show you how to master both natural and artificial light, with hacks and tips for pro-looking results on a low budget.

Good visuals mean nothing if your sound is trash. Learn the differences between mic types, how to record clean audio anywhere, and avoid rookie sound mistakes.

All the techy stuff explained simply. Frame rates, ISO, shutter speed — I’ll show you how to use settings that make your footage look cinematic, even if you shoot on auto.

Learn how to run a shoot like a boss — whether it's just you or you're directing someone. Structure your shoot, get smooth A-roll and B-roll, and act like a pro on set.

You don’t need to be an editor to make content that looks slick. I’ll show you simple workflows in beginner-friendly software, and how to pace your edit like a pro.

Shoot smarter. Understand what clients actually want, how to repurpose one shoot across multiple platforms, and film with final edits already in mind.

Time to level up. Learn how to build a portfolio that gets you hired, price your work with confidence, and spot red flag clients before they waste your time.
