‘This is a fantastic course filled with so much useful information. I am a big fan of Bernie’s and he sure came through with this course. You won’t be disappointed.’ – Diane
Today’s DSLR and Mirrorless cameras are fantastic aren’t they?
The great thing is… they have an enormous number of features and settings
The problem is………they have an enormous number of features and settings!!
And it is a problem, because although there are some real hidden gems amongst all those features, they can seem confusing or intimidating, and so a lot of photographers simply ignore or shy away from them (you know who you are!!)
This course, aimed at beginner and intermediate photographers, covers DSLR and Mirrorless basic settings, but also explains your camera’s more advanced features and settings. You probably already know about some of these settings but not entirely sure how and when to use them, and there may even be some that you’re not even aware of!

How To Write A Screenplay
How To Write A Screenplay: Outline & Structure A Screenplay
It’s common for a new screenwriter to attempt to write a movie script without a firm idea of the overall script structure. This is a mistake, born of enthusiasm and a blind belief that the script can be developed as we write. The fact is that a screenplay must have a definite structure, if it is to have any chance at all of being made into a movie.
Aristotle’s original concept of a 3 Act Story is still valid, but modern screenplay writers have further developed the basic idea into a precise craft. Building on the idea of beats, or scene sequences, a modern script consists of a series of events and turning points which need to be in the right proportions and relationship if the movie script is to be of interest to the money-men in Hollywood.
Against conventional wisdom, the movie script pitch letter normally created at the end of the process when the screenplay is ready for submission should be written before even starting to plan a script. How to use this is just one of the gems you will find inside the course
