This course, Make Better Video, will provide students with the fundamental notes of filmmaking. Students will learn how to read film, study a frame, and understand the tools used by filmmakers to engage audiences and tell stories. They will also gain the skills and capacity to create short films using nothing more than a mobile device. Content creators for YouTube or for online courses will benefit from this course, as it will not only give them a solid foundation but also help them to think outside the box.

In addition, students will learn about point of view, how filmmakers pose questions within a sequence of shots, and how mise-en-scene works at a subconscious level to hold engagement. They will also learn why suspension of disbelief is no longer the prevailing view of how our minds work with film.

The course will be taught by an experienced instructor with over 25 years in film education, who trained at the BBC. Students will gain the knowledge and skills to make better films and stand out from the crowd.
