What Our Graduates Say...
“Taking part in the 101 course has been great fun and taught me so many things about filming my family. My husband has even commented on how good my videos of the kids are now in comparison to before! Nicola was a great teacher, she was knowledgeable, insightful, helpful and approachable, you couldn't ask for anything more. If you'd love to learn about how to capture your precious family moments on video, then this course is the best thing for you! 100% recommended!”
Kelly, Oxfordshire
“I took part in film your family 101 and having filmed my kids quite a bit on a phone, I did not realise actually how much you can do to make that video so much better! Nicola runs through everything and is clearly very passionate about filming the family - she has a wealth of knowledge and I found the course invredibly useful and informative and I am now able to take what I know and put it into practice - invaluable knowledge and a lot of fun! Thanks - this is a game-changing course for any parent or anyone wanting to know more about film in everyday life!”
Alison, Dorset
“Nicola has given me much more confidence filming my family and I have noticed the improvement in quality of my films even with a few small tweaks. Don’t hesitate to join up if you want to preserve your moving family memories.”
Ellie, Somerset
“I have recently taken the Film your Family 101 course and really enjoyed it. Being a photographer I have to admit that filming my family wasn't really something I did, as memories for me were captured in still form. However after taking this course I realised that filming those moments are just as important and regret not doing it sooner, especially as my boys are older and I feel like I've missed capturing special moments from their early years. Nicola makes everything so easy to understand with plenty of opportunities to try new skills out. She's always on hand to help if needed and is very approachable. 100% recommend Film your Family, give it try, you'll be surprised that its a skill you didn't realise you needed!”
Natasha, Hampshire
“Really enjoyed the course, and our family movies have improved amazingly so! Family have commented on how much better they are, and baby loved watching the course with me - she won’t watch tv, but loves learning about filming apparently! I learnt loads on the course, and Nic made it so accessible and easy to learn! If there were any concepts I struggled with, Nic made time to help me with it. Very supportive and an excellent teacher! Thanks so much!”
Amie, Somerset
