 THREE DAY SHOOT AND EDIT
This course is aimed at journalists, press photographers, those working
in PR and anyone who wants to put short video clips on their website.
Don't worry if you have never used a camera before and have never edited
video. We cover all the technical aspects of the camera (manual focus,
exposure and white balance). Plus, the different types of microphone
and how to gather the best sound. You will learn how to import video
onto a PC and then edit the sequences and interviews you shoot.
We typically use the Sony HVR-A1 camera and Adobe Premier Elements
7, but other cameras and software can be covered - but do talk to us first about this before you book. The
full course schedule is below.

"Anyone who wants or needs
to get to grips with a camera quickly should look no further than
Christina Fox. She has teaching the essential skills down to a fine
art, making it painless and great fun to quickly get up to speed.
I learnt more in three days than I have in years and left buzzing.
Thanks.”
