By Ioanna Moudanioti on 3/17/2025

I am disappointed. This was a PowerPoint presentation with lots of repetition.

By Neville Nozar Irani on 9/27/2024

Great instructor. Clear instructions with a lot of information for a Basic level course.

By Deema Almutairi on 8/28/2024

I learned a lot of things that I did not know The course was simplified and illustrated in an excellent way.

By Ernest S on 12/6/2022

The course should be brief basic overview of film making process and the roles of key responsible persons not AD's in Filmmaking. I took this course to check out AD's responsibilities from Director screenplay breakdown to the post production stage but disappointed to learn its just another film making overview. The course title is misleading. The course didn't even provide resources like, shooting log sheets, continuity log sheets for download just shown in the video and thats it.....

Detailed immersion into the filmmaking process for beginners, depicting the complexity of the general process vs the tasks of the assistant director. Highly recommended for getting the basic knowledge on the subject!
