Adobe Premiere Pro is a highly effective and powerful program for video editing and filmmaking. It is used by not only industry professionals but also film enthusiasts that simply want to make a video for YouTube.

I am an experienced freelance filmmaker, and I hope to teach the basics of non-linear editing through Adobe Premiere Pro so that students who are interested in making their own films can learn how to make their own films on their own computers. This class is designed for beginners who are interested in learning how to use the program. You will learn the basic tools and keyboard shortcuts, as well as the basic workflow of the interface. You will also learn the basics of video editing working with film clips or your own footage.

Being aware of emotions allows better management of behavior in human relationships, both in the professional, private, entrepreneurial framework (...). For example, as a key to management, it makes it possible to:

• Measure the impact of emotions in team management.
• Analyze your own mode of operation to get the most out of it.
• To be able to put in place strategies to regulate his own emotions and those of his collaborators.
• Know how to approach delicate interviews taking into account the emotional factor.

Emotional intelligence is a process of personal development over time. This training allows you to initiate the process, with concrete tools that can be applied on a daily basis. This training combines group activities, individual reflections, videos and scenarios.

From theory to practice with simulations. It is a question of putting in place rational and professional tools to achieve the objectives set together and overcome the blockages initially defined.

Controlled, the techniques allow:

• to rely on emotional intelligence and capitalize on the empathy communicated to better ensure that his message is better received his message or being.

• improve credibility, self-confidence and ease (verbal-bodily) with public speaking and a more fluid sense of repartee.

• defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / safety zone. In particular simple and logical techniques, which make it possible to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, effective and lasting way, for example through NVC (Non Violent Communication).

• better manage negotiation situations (contrary to the stereotypes conveyed, negotiation is not only financial, but it can be small everyday events).

• Match the content and form of your message while improving the use of your emotional intelligence.

What you will get out of it:
• Better control of emotions and therefore of your way of communicating
• Better understanding of the feelings of others and the ability to lead them successfully
• Better relationships in personal and professional life thanks to superior emotional intelligence
• Less stress thanks to a better understanding of one's emotions and those of others
