Filmmaking for Photographers
with Sarah Krieg
$25 BREAKOUT WITH SARAH KRIEG
AVAILABLE MARCH 31 – APRIL 22
Learn to shoot and edit video – and go from photographer to filmmaker.
Sarah will teach you everything you need to make a film: what you need to get set up, how to shoot professional quality clips, and how to produce your final product in Adobe Premiere Pro.
You’ll learn about frame rates that give a cinematic quality, shot types, camera movements for handheld storytelling, and how to incorporate audio – including sounds, conversations, and music – to evoke emotion.
Sarah will show you how she brings it all together.
You’ll go on-location with Sarah for a family video shoot, then see exactly how she produces the final film from that shoot, walking you through Premiere Pro and watching the full editing process from start-to-finish.
You’ll learn everything you need to make a film of your own!

Hi Peter!
It is open to everyone.
Yay!! The day has arrived! Super excited to dig in and learn all the things! My big boys home from college are going to freak out – I’m wanting to try to document some of the time they’ve been home! Sarah, you’re such an inspiration!
Yay, it starts today! I cannot wait until nap time to get started! Thank you for this breakout Sarah!!! I’ve been filming out of curiosity and am excited to learn proper terms, and all you have to share with us :) :*
I’m super excited. I was just taking photos of my son and he asked me if I could take a video on the camera. I was like, “you know, I should be able to!” I don’t know if I can swing Premier Pro but I’m excited to learn more about making videos!!!
I’d like to buy this to not only to learn video, but for the pure entertainment that Sarah will bring. However, I do not want to commit to subscribing monthly to premire pro, is there anything else that we could use to edit that we can purchase one time?
I’m with Nina. I’m just taking it because of the panel discussion from Click Away! I feel like I’ve cobbled together some video skills over the years and have even taken classes on Premiere Pro, so I have a pretty decent background. But I am curious to see Sarah’s workflow and editing tips. Also, I’ve struggled with slo mo in PP so I’m hoping she walks us through that. But at $25, it’s a total no-brainer.
This breakout sounds awesome! With current events as they are I can’t afford upgrading to Premiere Pro. Do you know if Premiere Rush will be enough to work with?
I have a canon 5D m2 I shoot with. Is that appropriate to shoot video with in your opinion? I’ve tried shooting with it but have trouble with the focus. Looking to enroll but would like to use my existing gear. For now I just use my g7x to make small video of my 8 mo at home :)
Hi, are we able to always access the workshop after purchase so we can return to refresh?
Hey Robin!
The class will be available for a limited time to view on the actual platform (date noted on there) but the materials are yours to keep and reference whenever!
Sarah, how long is the breakout? I probably should know this…are all breakouts the same number of weeks?
Hi Nina!
This breakout will launch on March 31st and run until April 15th for the live portion. The platform it’s running on will be open for a little bit after the 15th for you to download anything you would like to reference in the future.
Holy cow, you look so exciting and fun, you’ve made me excited. Heck yes lets do this. :)
YAY!
Sarah, your promotional video looks so EXCITING that I am curious if you plan to caption the rest of your videos soon? Why? I am deaf and I am very very interested in taking your class!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!
Hope to hear from you soon!
Best!
Stacy Lawrence
Hi Stacy! I actually have closed captions available on all the video portions!
We can certainly make those available to you and I’m thrilled to hear that you are excited about learning video!
Does anyone know if you need to purchase a subscription to Adobe Premiere Pro in order to effectively follow along with this class?
Hi Rosa,
You certainly don’t have to but I do have 3+ hours of editing videos where I use premiere pro. I would suggest taking the class at your pace, and once you are ready to edit something you’ve filmed try the free one week trial of premiere pro. I’ll be here to walk you through it and I’m happy to answer questions you may have!
OOOHHH!!! I’ve been searching for a video class!!! Question: will this break out show how to shoot video clips during a photography session? For ex: family photo session, shooting both photos and switching to video from time to time. OR will it only teach you to shoot a family VIDEO only session?
Hi Melissa! I am a hybrid shooter, so the whole beginning where I get you set up, I continually remind you how I like my settings to be able to quickly flip back and forth for photos and video clips. However, at the shoot along for this breakout I just shoot video, but I do walk you through how to pull stills from that video. There is a bonus edit of a senior session that I shot both photos and videos for and I can gladly show you the photos from that session. I shoot Sony these day, so there is no button to switch or special setting to change. I can shoot both my photos and videos in M mode and it makes it easy. However, if you are Nikon or Canon you will always want to remember to switch from video mode to photo mode on the back of your camera otherwise you images will be 16:9 and really tiny, terrible quality jpegs. I once accidentally shot an entire session in video mode on my Nikon early on and cried for days after.
So, longer answer longer, I address being a hybrid shooter quite a bit but at the family shoot, you will see me taking video since that is our focus. Hope that helps!
I’ve been looking forward to this Breakout so much! I’ve followed Sarah for a few years now, after being in a class together. Not only is she so very talented at film making, she knows how to capture and express emotion. As much as I love my still photography, there is nothing like reliving your own family memories and especially giggles. Sarah is a ray of sunshine and I can’t wait to see her fresh take of film making.
Oh my goodness Nancy. Thank you SO much for this. What a wonderful way to start my morning. Can’t wait to start creating with you all!
Sooooo excited for this!!! Just shared with 5 of my friends. After seeing Sarah emcee the closing panel at Click Away, I’m taking it just to hear her speak. Oh, my gosh, my family is going to kill me for doing this during the quarantine, but <steeples fingers and emits evil laugh), they can run, but they can't hide.
LOL Best. Comment. Ever.
You’ll be amazed at how much your family loves watching the final product. My 5 year old goes around telling people he’s a “Youtuber” hahaha
I can’t wait for this one!!!
Yay! I’m soooo excited to start!
