Film Class: Learn Making Film Trailers
My name is Olaf. I'm a professional trailer editor and filmmaker with over twenty years of experience. I love making trailers, and in this class, I share my process and toolbox through small steps. Each lesson is designed to be actionable and to inspire you to learn by doing. We'll demystify the trailer-making process. Here are some of the things you'll learn in this class:
Class Trailer | 40 video lessons | 2hr 12 min

This class is designed for beginners as well as those with some experience. All you need to start is a pen and paper. Later in the course, we'll introduce you to using editing software and even a camera if you wish to film material for your video trailer. Take a deep breath and relax your shoulders. Let's dive into the magical world of trailers!
The Class Project is making a 1-minute trailer.
After this class, you will be able to apply these skills in various areas of your creative endeavors, whether it's creating a presentation for a film concept or a business idea, enhancing the quality of visual marketing, or improving your social media stories.

By the end of this class, you will have learned how to edit a trailer independently. We'll work equally with theory and hands-on experience, I'll challenge you to film your own material but also offer material you can download for your lessons.
