"I undertook the Filming on Your Phone Workshop with Down to Earth Media. My reasoning for doing this was because I want to start producing videos for both Instagram and YouTube but didn't quite have the confidence or know how to be able to do that. Alex taught us a number of exercises and methods to film both in the classroom and out and about. I thought this really built my confidence because we learned a whole host of different ways to video and there's always one way that works for you. Im now able to produce videos in which I feel that I really enjoy watching and I also feel confident being a part of. I'd really highly recommend the course to anyone as a beginner as it's a really good starting point to get you on your way"
