    Part 2: Pre-Production skills, taking a script, planning, and logistics of filming, alongside camera, lighting and video production techniques to creatively create what’s on the page onto video.

    Part 3: Postproduction skills, learning the basics of video editing software to bring the film together, exploring editing techniques. Do’s and Dont’s and bringing your cut of the film for consideration, alongside titles and credits.
