- Rig building
- Gimbal, slider & drone operation
- Audio recording tips
- File format review (4k/1080p, Bitrate etc.)
- Setting up ‘hero’ shots including timelapses and slow motion
- Creating a portfolio to generate more clients in videography
- Marketing advice
- Q&A with our tutor, Mike Briggs from Carousel Films
After quitting my 9-5 job, I worked in freelance photography, then crossed the divide to now run a successful video content creation business, Carousel Films. I have worked with global sports brands, FTSE500 companies, fashion houses, established musicians, government initiatives and local councils. I am also Senior Writer for the international renowned photography & video online publication Fstoppers.
In the 2nd half of the day, we’ll then shoot our own project together on location with a talented musician as our subject. After pre-production, we’ll walkthrough capturing a live music performance and an interview, then take our video and audio files into the editing suite to cut an engaging and cohesive piece of video.
We’ll offer some time saving tips in pre and post production that you’ll be able to use in your own projects as a team-of-one videographer.
