Master the tools the pros use — Adobe Bridge, Camera Raw, Photoshop, Lightroom, DreamWeaver, Animate, Prelude and the latest in DaVinci Resolve editing software.

Master and recognize the techniques, theories, and methods used to make films. Develop the ability to interpret the signs, syntaxes and structures used in making films. Perfect your use of time, space, composition, light, color, and sound to express concepts and ideas.
