An introductory, hands-on session covering the fundamentals of filmmaking with Black Apron Entertainment.
We’ll begin with a basic camera setup and equipment walkthrough, introducing participants to key filmmaking tools and techniques before exploring shot composition, framing, visual storytelling and camera movement. Through a series of practical exercises and creative prompts, participants will have the opportunity to experiment with how different shots, and camera movements can help bring ideas and stories to life.
The session will conclude with a review of selected footage and a group discussion around creative choices and approaches.
No previous experience necessary!
