Film Training and Support with Tom Barrance

Clear, easy to understand training and workshops
Introduction to filmmaking
Training for educators
Training in editing programs
For organisations, businesses, education and individuals

My easy-to-understand training will give you the skills and confidence you need to make your own short videos. I’ve been teaching filmmaking to non-filmmakers for over 20 years. I can show you how to make movies with your mobile phone, still cameras or camcorders.

I’ve worked with all kinds of organisations from one-person businesses and youth drama groups to universities and multinational companies. I also provide 1:1 training for individuals.

My training will be custom-made to fit your specific needs, whether it’s a two-hour introduction to the basics or an in-depth course over several weeks. You’ll get a detailed PDF course booklet, and I provide follow-up advice and feedback after the course.

On-site

I provide on-site training for organisations around the UK and in Europe (subject to Covid restrictions).
