Hey Krissy —

In 10 days you'll know how to actually shoot video.

Not phone video. Real camera video, on a Sony FX3 — the same camera clients pay to shoot on at Aura House. Just two things to learn: composition and exposure.

02

Shoot it for real

Each lesson ends with a hands-on task you do with the FX3 in an actual Aura House studio.

03

Take the quiz

15 easy questions on day 10. Pass it and you've genuinely got the basics.

The gear you'll touch

You don't need to memorise specs. You need to know what each thing is for.

  • Sony FX3

    Your camera for the whole 10 days

  • Tripod

    The three-legged stand that keeps shots still

  • A lens

    For zooming from wide to close

  • Studio lights

    So faces are bright enough to see

  • Memory card

    Where your videos get saved

  • Spare battery

    Because cameras always die mid-shoot

One rule for the whole 10 days:

Ask before you unplug anything, and never let go of the camera until it's locked down.
