Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

This beginner course strips away the myth that great visuals require expensive gear. You will learn how your phone camera actually works — sensor exposure, focal length, frame rate — and how to control every variable manually. By the end you will produce content indistinguishable from DSLR work in controlled conditions, edited entirely on a free mobile app stack.
