This course is for beginner and intermediate level students who are looking for ways in which to make documentary films more visually exciting.

All films start with a simple idea – and it’s generally an idea that appeals to you the filmmaker. And as you think about and start researching your idea, it grows. And as it grows more detail is added. That’s when you have to start thinking of how you will create those visuals that will carry your storyline

This course starts by looking at the importance of writing a shot list that will ensure that you get all the shots you need for your film.

We then look at all the different shots available to you as a filmmaker and explain when and how to use these shots to develop your visual narrative.

Finally we take a look at how to use the different shots to build visual sequences – moving from a two-shot sequence right through to a five-shot sequence.

The course also includes handouts that will guide you through some practical exercises in how to use different shots to create visual sequences.
