Becky Wood
"Film has opened up a whole new world for me and Leanne gave me the tools to do it. It's super fun, creative and I loved having a finished product. The Lens11 cheerleading squad kept me going all the way to our movie premiere at the end! I can’t recommend Press Record enough!"
Faye Kenny-Broom
"Press Record is a brilliant way to understand not only the concepts of film making, but how to apply practical techniques to create professional videos. There is a considerable gap between photography and filmmaking, and I went from knowing barely anything, to producing a film I felt proud of."
Rachel Cox
"Thank you for such a brilliant course and getting back to me so quickly with my questions. I’ve found the course extremely well put together and enjoyed the process of learning something new. Lots still to learn and take in but will look forward to continuing to learn the art of video thanks to this course!"
Your roadmap to film-maker looks like this...

Setting Up Your Camera for Filming and Storytelling
Leanne will be covering equipment, editing software, film sharing platforms and music licensing subscriptions, before moving on to camera settings.
