Hi! My name is Hugh Fenton, I'm creating films to help you step by step make your own documentary, educational, or promotional film. Once you can film and edit these films, you will have all of the foundational skills needed to make music, wedding, or narrative films.
You also don't get paid for making narrative films unless you've been doing it for a very long time! A lot of people need training, promotional or documentary films so it's a good place to start your filmmaking journey.
Just watch the films and make a film as you go and you'll be on your way to becoming a great filmmaker.

Thank you Hugh for a well detailed tutorial .You explanation was on point, very easy to understand and follow. I will definitely come back many times to this video. You gave us all a wealth of information.
I never thought of composing the bg first and then inserting the subject in it. Makes so much sense now that I think about it! And it makes things simpler.
@@EnlighteningFilms thanks, it was helpful, as I started off as an indie filmmaker which does validate what I was doing for the last 20 years. I have made 11 feature films, all blockbusters in cinema in South Africa. Thank you, will look forward to more videos from you
This is one of the best i have ever seen takes me back to my studying years when i did video production course back in 2002 amazing stuff. More interestingly is to bring in DSLR as you can imagine during those days a traditional camcorder was the it. Much appreciated

do you know of any other lectures that might be equally educating in cinematography or filmmaking in general maybe eve sound design? if you do help me out here I've been looking but haven't found really good ones.
Hi @fstopmovies I've just created a whole series of films which I've uploaded to this channel for free which allow you to learn our step by step filming and editing process to create a promotional, educational or documentary film which all have pretty much the same style of filming and editing.
