Learn how to evoke mood using the proper camera angle from an Emmy-winning producer and director!

Get a detailed glossary of 11 shots you need to know and the equipment you need to capture them!

As a filmmaker or cinematographer, knowing how to tell a visual story is one of the most important parts of your job. But to do so, you have to understand how to use the tools at your disposal. It is not enough to just put your actors in front of the camera and start rolling. Every shot setup you choose will affect how your story is told, and if your desired effect is perceived by your audience.  

Get a crash course – or perhaps for our more advanced filmmakers, a refresher on the cinematic basics you need to know and what the purpose of these essential eleven angles offers to you, the storyteller. Learn how to build a foundation that gives you the time and confidence to be creative  – one that you will be very proud of now and when you look back on it in the distant future. This webinar will give you the tools necessary to make sure you cover all the basics needed to tell your story while allowing you the freedom and flexibility to create a visually stunning project.

We are thrilled to have multi-Emmy Award-winning Producer and Director, Shane Stanley as your instructor for this webinar. Shane has worked with Marlon Brando, Mira Sorvino, Thomas Hayden Church, Donald Sutherland, Marisa Tomei, Sean Penn, John Travolta, Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson, and Charlie Sheen to name a few. Shane is bringing years of experience to this webinar to help you learn how to capture the right shot!

You will leave this webinar with a better-equipped filmmaker who understands who has a strong understanding of camera angles and lenses, how to get more angles with fewer setups, how to set the mood of the scene, how to use camera angles to capture the story in a more dynamic way, and so much more.
