Learn to make your own (documentary) film or develop a film plan

From 56.98 Fr /h

Anyone can make a movie, but where do you start?
In these lessons I guide you in how you can translate the story you want to tell into images and sound. Depending on your needs, I can guide you in the development of a film plan, setting up your own shooting days, interviews and editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie or Windows Movie Maker. You learn filmmaking mainly by doing, so experimenting is very important. It is up to you what kind of film you want to make, I guide you in your needs and capabilities. Whether you want to make an observational film, a film in which you are also present, with or without an interview. I am curious about your story!

Extra information

In these lessons you use what you have at your disposal. Whether this is a telephone or a (video) camera. You will also need an editing program such as Adobe Premiere, iMovie (Mac) or Windows Movie Maker.

I recently graduated from the University of Cambridge with a history degree. My goal is to help students learn English or prepare for Oxbridge Interviews. I have a very clear and simple teaching style and will provide progress reports.

I can also assist students applying for any English university. I can give advice on personal statements, answer questions about the application process and help them to prepare for any entry exams.

Adapted to each case and need, the objective is support in accessing a job, from the search for departure to the signing of the contract:
- After the search and selection of relevant advertisements, establish and illustrate your transversal skills profile then create an attractive CV and write a striking cover letter highlighting your professional background
- stand out in the preparation of their interviews, from oral presentation to expression through appropriate body language. Interview simulation & video analysis filmed if necessary.
- Identify your values, promote your professional project / your assets and strengths but also work on areas for improvement in order to find new momentum in your career.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions. (study 2020)

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne.

But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: chat notes that can be read later).
In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place in a very optimal way and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours.

This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of screenwriting for film. Through lectures, readings, and writing exercises, students will learn core storytelling concepts including three-act structure, character development, conflict, visual storytelling, and dialogue.

By the end of the course, students will have completed a polished short screenplay and gained a solid foundation in the creative and structural tools used by screenwriters.

With a Master's degree from TAI School, and having taught two courses there since 2024, I now offer one-on-one tutoring to help you improve your writing and let your ideas take flight. And all in English. As an American with real-world Hollywood production experience (on films like The Neon Demon and the Oscar-winning Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), I bring not only a solid foundation in narrative and storytelling, but also practical insight into how your writing influences production, performance, and even financing.

Having lived in Spain for almost a decade has given me a global perspective on film and a deep understanding of international and cultural narrative paradigms. With three short films screened at international festivals (and a fourth premiering this year), I can confidently guide you toward stronger, clearer, and producible writing that stands out and, hopefully, comes to fruition. Not confident in your English? No problem! With extensive experience teaching the language, I'll also help you with translation (from Spanish, of course) so your writing style becomes more fluid and natural.
