Documentary Filmmaking Step by Step (Udemy.com)

Sim! Era oque eu esperava.

Adam Bhala did an incredible job breaking down every level of the filmmaking process in a way that anyone can understand. This course was easily worth every penny. I feel as though I've gained an in-depth knowledge of what it really takes to put together a feature, and the return on investment you can expect in this business. Adam covers all the bases from the development of an idea, all the way to distribution. My only drawback is that the course isn't live (like Zoom or GoogleMeets) and you don't interact much with other students or Adam. It's basically a series of videos with a few documents you can download and save. But I can't stress enough the value of this series! I guarantee I'll be drawing on this well of information for several months, if not years to come.

Excellent course - jampacked with valuable information! This is a great framework to build out your filmmaking plan. I highly recommend it!

Yeah I do love listen to the real exp of yours on the set, like the idea of playing the songs of Lee Scratch Perry for him to listen and share his feeling since we gonna shoot a music documentary here too. So I think its a great way to dig into the heart and brain of the subject.

So far the course seems very detailed. The instructor is very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Im just getting into documentary work and the info is very helpful.

too much talking-no easy to follow steps shown
My search was- How to produce a DOcumentary

This course may be appropriate for someone who's making documentaries to sell to Netflix or entering (with expectations of winning) Sundance. Someone who's going to get a large infusion of cash from an investor. Someone who plans on travelling overseas with a crew. And where paying a few thousand dollars a week for just one crew member is standard. Unfortunately, that's not most of us. Plus, the presentation is a mash-up of insider terminology and a somewhat awkward presentation: lots of "ums" and "ahs," And frequent glances over to the side to check his notes. The jump cuts are awkward, and several of the segments open out of focus. Some of his advice is good, but the video is really meant for the top 1% of documentary makers.

Undoubtedly, I was an aspiring screenwriter in the mid-80's but life took me elsewhere. I am about to embark on an incredible journey that I want to memorialize. I will most likely be financing it myself and looking for post-production distribution,...this course is helping me establish a foundation upon which to launch.

I've taken another film making course prior to this and just in this one hour I have gained information that I wasn't aware of or learned from the other course!!

yes

I really learned a lot from your experiences, Thanks Adam for share so much knowledge.

Cours trs complet, par un ralisateur qui fait ses preuves, parfait.
