Our work

Exercises and shoots from our training days

A look at the kind of practical work we set: framing drills, piece-to-camera takes, interviews and live rehearsals, as they appear in our classroom and on location.

Practical sessions

What a day with us looks like

These scenes show the exercises that fill our training days. Each one is a task we set, repeated and reviewed until the technique holds under real conditions.

Handheld walking shot on a town street

Trainees follow a moving subject along a pavement while keeping the frame level. The tutor walks alongside and corrects stance and breathing as the shot is repeated.
Piece to camera in daylight

A reporter delivers a short standup while the group watches the monitor. We review voice, posture and where the eyes land before the next take.
Two-person interview set-up

One trainee asks questions while another frames the guest and checks sound. The pair swap roles so each learns how the other's choices shape the edit.
Boom and light for an indoor interview

A boom microphone is placed just out of frame and a single portable light is positioned. Trainees compare the sound and picture before and after each adjustment.
Rehearsed live crossing

A reporter and operator work through a live cue with timing and talkback. We then introduce a small interruption to see how the pair responds.
Classroom review of recorded footage

The group gathers around a screen to watch the morning's takes. Each clip is discussed for exposure, framing and whether an editor could use it.
