2. TERMS OF ACCESS AND USE OF THE WEBSITE

A couple of things to make clear about the website. Landmark Film School is a new venture so the website uses stock (library) photos to illustrate the kind of learning on offer. Where specific equipment is shown, please understand that this doesn’t necessarily mean the course you attend will be using this particular equipment. Our aim is always to make you confident and capable whatever the camera you are using.

The testimonial quotes on the website are all real and accurate, obviously. They come from students who have attended courses (on self shooting, documentary directing, interviewing for documentary, documentary ethics, making a short film, observational documentary) with Nick O’Dwyer at other teaching institutions. The quotes are randomised throughout the site so they don’t necessarily relate to a students experience of the particular course features above it. The quote might be a review from, say a documentary directing course being used on a self shooting page.
