I do feel more confident now but realise that this is temporary state, unless we continue to practice. (hence 7/10 score). Great experience and would recommend.

I enjoyed the course and I found every aspect of it very informative and useful. The emphasis on planning will particularly stay with me and how to be more creative with shots. Also learning about the three shot sequence will make my life easier as this simply provides a great starting point for capturing footage. Thank you!

Nice blend of theory and some practice too. I think it was about right timing wise for our small group. Not sure we needed the first break before Crisis messaging. Facilitators were very good. Knowledgeable, interested in us and kind in their critique. Thank you.

Susan was an excellent facilitator, I learned a lot and it has already made a difference to my confidence with all of her hints and tips and encouragement. Biggest stand out learnings for me were. 1. Saying your most important point first (rather than long build up) 2. Get a specific example in early. 3. How to divert back to your own key message with the ABC technique.
