The Self Shooting Workshop for Children’s TV will solidify your working knowledge and enable you to film with ease and confidence on the two cameras that dominate camera choice.

The course provides hands-on experience from setting up the camera(s), knowing what lenses to choose and understanding what makes great audio. It also covers auto features vs manual modes, getting to grips with aperture control and shutter speeds, understanding 4K and what terms like ‘ISO’, ‘codecs’ and ‘bit rates’ actually mean, enabling you to create the best shots for the finest filming.

Beyond the technical expertise you’ll also learn about lighting, framing of shots, shooting for an edit and finally how to ingest onto NLE’s (Non-Linear Editing systems like Final Cut/Adobe Premier etc.).

This workshop is geared towards Children’s Television: How to film with children and what legalities may be involved? Who allows the permission of release forms? How much time is allowed to film with individual children?

Who’s it for?

Employees and freelancers across production from Researcher, AP/Shooting AP, PDs and possibly SPs who need a ‘refresher’ in contemporary broadcast equipment.
