# About FrameCoach
**FrameCoach is a free, real-time camera coaching app for indie filmmakers and content creators.** It guides you through ISO, aperture, shutter speed, white balance, and composition decisions while you're on set — so you spend less time second-guessing settings and more time telling your story.
## The Problem We Solve
Solo filmmakers and small crews don't have a dedicated camera department. When you're directing, operating camera, managing talent, and watching the clock, camera settings become an afterthought. The result: footage that doesn't match your creative vision, and hours lost in post trying to fix what should have been nailed on set.
FrameCoach acts as your on-set camera coach — giving you plain-language guidance on exactly what settings to use for the look you're going for.
## Who It's For
- **Indie filmmakers** shooting shorts, features, and documentaries without a full crew
- **Content creators** who want cinematic quality without a cinema degree
- **Film students** learning camera fundamentals in real production environments
- **Videographers** transitioning from auto mode to manual creative control
## Meet the Founder
**Melusi** built FrameCoach because he saw too many talented storytellers held back by technical camera decisions. The app exists to remove that barrier — to make camera knowledge accessible to every filmmaker, regardless of budget or experience level.

## What We Believe
- **Story comes first.** Camera settings serve the story, not the other way around.
- **Start with what you have.** Your phone is a real camera. A $5 china ball is real lighting.
- **Learn by doing.** The best filmmaking education happens on set, not in a classroom.
- **Tools should coach, not gatekeep.** Camera knowledge shouldn't require a film degree.
