Public speaking Training

A transformative coaching session in Wiltshire to help you grow your business, presented by Scaling Up coaches Dominic Monkhouse and Philip Rose.

This 6 week course will support you to make the most of the range of applications Adobe Premiere Pro offers in the production of video. Sample footage will be provided for you throughout the course, but you can also bring along your own video files to work on. The course is quite technical so some computer experience is required. We use Macs on the course – the Premiere interface is the same across operating systems but some shortcuts and menu items are different. Week 1- The basics This week we’ll start with some of the basics, introducing you to editing and Premiere Pro through: * A short history of editing; from analogue to digital * Getting to know the layout of Premiere Pro * Working with ‘bins’ (folders) and creating edit Sequences * Making selects from the rushes and sound files by creating in and out points * Introducing clips to the timeline and making a simple edit with music * Understanding rendering for smooth, full quality playback Week 2- Editing narrative sequences This week we’ll get further stuck into editing by building narrative, focus on offline editing‚ better organisation of your projects and breaking down footage through: * Re-linking lost or moved footage * Video ingest – importing and organising clips * Organising and breaking down rushes using annotated markers and sub-clips * Basics of the effects and motion settings * Using our skills to create a simple narrative sequence * Editing a dialogue sequence * Considering the best ways of exporting your film for online * Learn Adobe Media Encoder for more efficient exporting Week 3- Video settings, effects & titles This week we will focus in on what makes up video from a technical standpoint. We will then look at how we can work with and alter these parameters for different uses in our films through: * Transcoding – converting the footage into an editable file and understanding codecs and meta data * Adjusting scale and positioning and using motion keyframes to create movement over time * Adding titles and animating them * Applying transitions and various stock video effects * Layering tracks and using opacity and different layer blending effects * Creating masks and using motion tracking * Working with green-screen footage, creating mattes, mask filters and working with multiple layers Week 4- Audio & sound This week we’ll consider the importance of sound design and music for narrative and atmosphere in film and experimental video through: * Learning how to enhance your film with sound and music * Introducing audio and music to the timeline, cutting and leveling * Laying down music and cutting the footage to fit * Building sound design around an existing edit with sync-sound and SFX * Common practice and different approaches for syncing external microphone audio and video * Mastering the audio and making sure that it is all levelled * Learning how to create subtitles for our films and different methods to export/embed them Week 5- Colour This week we’ll start looking at colour in our videos and what role that plays. We will look at the process of colour grading and changing the mood in our films through: * Using Lumetri Colour, the colour-correcting function within Premiere Pro CC * Matching the colour of different cameras to create a similar look * Creating different “colour grades” to create different atmospheres * Stylising our footage * Understand the colour limitations of video files and the importance of exposure when filming * Working with tracked masks to isolate certain areas within your image to colour correct Week 6- Putting it all together In our final week we will get the opportunity to experiment with all the skills we’ve learned to create an opening sequence for a tv series. This is also a great opportunity to revisit any topics from previous weeks.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courses are subject to minimum enrolment.

A perfect follow-on course for those who have already completed an introductory darkroom printing course, or who have a reasonable level of B&W darkroom printing experience. Please bring B&W negatives (35mm or medium format) that relate to each other in some way (subject matter, tonal range, environment etc.) as we will be making a number of prints that can be read as a series. Please note: This course only covers the printing of images and participants should therefore bring previously processed negatives and if you have one, a printed contact sheet along to the session. All other materials (including a range of papers) will be provided. Class sizes are currently limited to 4 participants to enable social distancing throughout the course. Morning * Presentation and analysis of what makes a successful series of photographs, and how the final print can be crafted to accentuate the photographer’s artistic intent * Reading the negative and pre-visualising the print * Re-cap of darkroom skills – including overview of single filter printing, test strips and making a work print * Learning how to split-filter print Afternoon * Making a printing plan * Using fibre based paper * Plenty of practical darkroom time to work on your images and gain confidence in the new skills and processes * Finishing your prints   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courses are subject to minimum enrolment. Please register early, within five days of the start date, to reduce the likelihood of course cancellation.

Stills uses ILFORD PHOTO chemicals on this course that can potentially pose a risk to pregnant and breast feeding women and asthmatics. We take every care to ensure good working practices and adequate ventilation in our darkrooms. If you feel you may be adversely affected, please visit the Health and Safety section of Ilford’s website for further information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Guidance Notes for Pregnant and Breast Feeding Women and Asthmatics: From a risk assessment standpoint, provided all necessary control measures (such as good working practices, adequate ventilation, and the use of appropriate PPE) are in place then pregnant and breastfeeding women should be able to continue to work safely with photochemical products.Inhalation is the main route by which fumes and gases enter the body, making good ventilation a high priority. Exposure to irritant chemicals that would not affect most people may provoke an asthma attack in a person who already has asthma. For example, low levels of the gas sulphur dioxide can be produced by some ILFORD PHOTO processes. Most individuals would be unaffected but asthmatics may suffer adverse affects. * ILFORD PHOTO products include no known human carcinogens, and no substances to which phrase R46 (May cause heritable genetic damage) or R64 (May cause harm to breastfed babies) applies. * Most ILFORD PHOTO developers use hydroquinone, and their classification therefore includes 
R40 (Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect) and R68 (Possible risk of irreversible effects). * Some ILFORD PHOTO chemicals use boric acid or borates. These substances are classified as toxic for reproduction. As a result, the classification of some of the powder developers includes R60 (May impair fertility) and R61 (May cause harm to the unborn child).
