Okay - let's look at it this
way... |
|
|
Or any way you like, really. It's surprising
what you see (and don't see) when you start thinking frames. For
a start, the eye wouldn't miss the dirty great ship just out of
shot on the left.
Start seeing like a camera with Fine Cut Films.
There are many ways to learn about
the fascinating world of film and video.
You could apply for a job as a trainee researcher
at one of the top broadcasters.
Or spend four years at film school.
Or simply pick up a camera and start shooting.
Those are all ways to learn - and all have plus and
minus points.
But the quickest way to having a brilliant showreel
is to book a place on one of Fine Cut Films' production courses.
