Self Shooting (FX6) for Unscripted TV

Been thinking about picking up the camera? Whether you’re a Researcher, AP or Producer, or you make digital and social content and want to learn how TV does it, this one’s for you. You’ll get hands-on with the Sony FX6, learn to shoot for the edit, and work out how to fit into a show’s visual style. You’ll also shoot on location in mini crews and get feedback from working industry tutors.

Best for people with at least 2 years’ industry experience.

Location Sound for Unscripted TV

Good pictures get you noticed, but good sound gets a programme delivered. This one covers mics, mixers and recorders, plus how to troubleshoot when the wind picks up or your contributor won’t stand still. You’ll learn from an experienced Sound Recordist and put it all into practice on live location shoots.

Best for Researchers, APs and Self-Shooters with at least 2 years’ experience who want to offer more as a freelancer.
