IBTC
Go from a blank page to a finished film. Learn screenwriting, camera work, lighting, directing, sound and editing the way working crews actually do it — by shooting real projects, not just watching theory.
IBTC's Filmmaking program covers the full production pipeline: developing an idea into a script, planning a shoot, operating a professional camera, lighting a scene, directing actors, recording clean sound, and cutting the footage into a finished story in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
You won't just study filmmaking — you'll make films. Every module ends with a practical exercise, and the program builds toward a short film or promo video you direct and edit yourself, ready to put in your portfolio.
Story structure, screenplay format, treatments and shot-listing before you ever pick up a camera.
Camera settings, composition, movement, and building a visual style with the equipment you'll actually use.
Three-point lighting, natural light, and shaping a scene's mood with the tools on set.
Working with actors and crew, blocking scenes, and running a shoot day from call sheet to wrap.
Capturing clean dialogue and ambient sound on location, and avoiding the mistakes that ruin footage in post.
Cutting a scene for pace and emotion in Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve, then finishing the look with color grading.
Write, shoot, and edit your own short film or promo — the centerpiece of your showreel.
Notes, slide decks and practice videos for every module — unlocked as soon as you enroll.
Written PDF notes for every module, from your instructors.
