    Although this course is marketed for all levels of filmmakers I really think it's suited for more entry-level individuals. I would estimate that 90% of the course I had learned through trial and error in the industry. I would venture a guess that others who have a few years under their belts would be in a similar position. However, if you're more entry-level then I think the information in this course would be invaluable.
