A course guide made by people who make video for a living
storybeamra teaches the craft behind good video storytelling: how to structure a narrative, light a scene with intent, and frame a shot that serves the story rather than distracting from it.
From on-set notes to a structured curriculum
We started storybeamra because too much video training focuses on equipment and not enough on storytelling instinct. Our modules pair the technical side of lighting and framing with the editorial thinking that makes a report worth watching.
Today, our tutors work with independent creators, production agencies and regional newsrooms across the United Kingdom, adapting the same core principles to whatever deadline or budget a team is working with.
Our values
Clarity first
Every technique we teach exists to make a story clearer, never just more complicated.
Learn together
Small cohorts mean detailed, personal feedback on your actual footage.
Real-world proof
We measure success by the reports and reels our students take into the field.
How we got here
A small group of video journalists began sharing lighting and framing notes informally.
Those notes became structured workshops for regional newsroom video teams.
storybeamra launched as a full course guide covering narrative, light and frame.
We work with independent creators, agencies and newsrooms across the UK.
