There are many conservation and environmental issues that could be impacted if only the people involved were informed or educated about the causes and solutions that could make a difference.
Films and the Media are one of the most powerful communication tools we have, we just need to make the right films and distribute them to the audiencedecision makers community corporationlaw enforcersgovernment bodies who can create that change.
But how do you go about this,?? How do you produce a clear message, Who are your target audience, How long should it be, What style of film would be most successful, What equipment do you need, How do you record sound, How do you edit everything together, Do you need music, What part should a narrator play How do you monitor effectiveness???
All of these questions and more are answered in a very special training programme. It is designed specifically for YOU if you are someone
