Filmmaking Masterclass with Blake Ridder

Among the systematic courses, Cinematography aligns most closely with my personal priorities. While all courses are important, individual needs and skill gaps determine what holds the most significance for each person. This course particularly appeals to me because it offers a clear, step-by-step approach to technical details, making me feel like I'm engaged in a one-on-one classroom environment. The instructor's explanations are always accompanied by relevant data, film shooting examples, and demonstrations of the physical equipment. This structured approach to learning aligns perfectly with my goals. I believe staying updated with future iterations of this masterclass will be crucial to keeping pace with the evolving film technology. Additionally, I plan to use all the courses as a reference to quickly consult the necessary details whenever necessary.

Wow, this felt like I was getting the inside scoop from a friend in the industry. Blake breaks down the complexities of cinematography into bite-sized, digestible pieces, making even the most advanced concepts accessible. His personal anecdotes and behind-the-scenes insights added a layer of authenticity you don't often find in online courses. It's not just about the technicalities, it's about feeling the passion behind the lens. For anyone looking to elevate their filmmaking game, Blake's course is the real deal – engaging, enlightening, and downright inspiring.

Offers some valuable techniques. Not just the tech side, but also why certain movie scenes should be in certain colors, how he sees films with his style of color.

I always thought of myself as a decent writer but I had no idea how to format my stories into the screenplay format, so I initially took this course only to pick that up. But instead, I finished this class with more knowledge in story development than ever and I am absolutely glad to have participated in 100% of this screenwriting course!
