All language subtitles for 01 - Class Introduction

Hello everyone.

My name is Scott Baker and I

began working in the
film industry in 2009.

I worked on major films and

TV shows while also directing
my own short films,

documentaries, and music videos.

If you've taken any of

my other classes
than welcome back.

If this is your first time,

then it's great to have you,

if you have some experience
in photography or

videography and want to
build on those skills,

then you're in the right place.

Because in this class,

we're going to dive right in,

starting with a more
in-depth look at some of

the more advanced settings

and tools that are
cameras can offer.

Because if we want to get
the most out of our camera,

we need to fully

understand how it works
and what it can do.

After that, we'll build
on our knowledge of

shot composition by learning

about things such as
camera movements,

how to place and balance
objects within the frame.

How to work with reflections.

And much, much more.

The knowledge and
material that I'm sharing

comes from my hands-on
experience in the industry.

And it is designed with
easy to follow diagrams and

graphics tutorial videos that

explain not just
how to do things,

but also why we do them.

And real-life examples
where we go behind

the scenes to see exactly how
these films were created.

By the end of this class,

you'll have the knowledge
and skills to create

far more interesting and
compelling shots to help

tell your stories and take
your films to the next level.

Without any further talking.

Let's get started.
