Very helpful. Adds depth to your understanding and intuitive insights which you surely had if you happened to play with video shooting and editing without doing any learning beforehand. It's enriching. The movie samples are great as the clarify the points. Love it! - Yosi Tsitsu

The course is very informative but the last cap is the first two videos mixed up so it doesn't have a conclusion video. I feel like i'm missing the end.

The content is useful - but lecture / chapter 5 is just chapters 1 and 2 combined. You will never get to finish this course. People have logged issues with this for over a year and they have been ignored: I'd be happy to redo my review when the material is complete. And I'd still like to know what the end material was supposed to be! Also, there are no resources, included script example - some missed opportunities for learning. A shame as the instructor knows her stuff.

Lots of wisdom and knowledge but hardly a budget to be seen and lacking in actual process or detail of document templates. Literally is a camera at the back of the room filming a person talking at the front with a poor image of the presentation screen, with the odd screen overlays. Totally US centric so no use for ROTW. Part 5 is a repeat of Part 1.
