That shot at 1:45 is the most perfectly composed and still shot I have ever seen, the symmetry of the location mixed with the colours and the clarity is just so beautiful, the fact the guy almost completely contrasts all the colours makes this way way more professional looking, I've never seen a camera shot as well done in actual movies, never looked anything like this before and I'm feeling like "where have you been all my life?"

[@TannazWithT]

Hey there! Just wanted to say a huge thanks for your awesome film making tips. I'm pretty new to KZbin and started out focusing just on my message. But after getting into editing and buying my first camera, I've realized there's so much more to learn. Your channel has been a lifesaver - it's like a fun crash course in film making! Really appreciate all the help you're giving to us newbies. Keep rocking! 🎥✨

[@PulsarTECH]

Wow, thanks a lot! Those camera angles look amazing. I think to make a great video, you need to picture the whole scene in your mind first and then film it accordingly. If you can't think of how it should be, then it becomes a whole bunch of unnecessary cut angles. Definitely learned something new today! 30 and 180 degree angles are handy to know.

[@anayaweick7964]

Thank you! Me and a group of kids in my animation class are working on a 15-minute thriller short film as an assignment for school and I’ve decided to do all the research I can to make the very best short film. We’re all researching different aspects of good films/tv shows and this one seems important to me. Thanks again!

[@amirmekni9750]

So how did it turn out

[@anayaweick7964]

@@amirmekni9750 It was…interesting. We all had to agree on an idea, and one of my groupmates absolutely refused to do anything other than an SCP Foundation short film. SCP Foundation is a creepypasta-esque creative writing platform. None of us knew anything about it and we offered to do a spy-type thing, but they said it had to be SCP. It was frustrating and the teacher wouldn’t help. The person didn’t even help us that much with anything. I’d say they wrote a moderate amount of the draft for the script, but they didn’t help with the editing of the script or the animation. We had 5 characters and 5 people and one of the other classmates made 2 character models. I did a lot of concept art for the characters and designed one of the simpler-looking ones, but the hair was a nightmare to animate. I worked on a lot of the actual animation with the moving of the models and stuff, but mad props to the one classmate who designed the two characters. Overall, it turned out pretty good! I found a couple good SCP stories, although I’m harboring resentment over the situation. We also left the one group member out of the credits and explained to the teacher what happened. I don’t know if the teacher did anything or not, but at least our classmates know.

[@amirmekni9750]

@@anayaweick7964 wow didn't expect great detail but that's awesome, first experiences are always learning experiences so it's great that you came out with something good. Ik what its like to have groupmates like that, i once did 80% of a project and got the same credit as the rest cuz the teacher said we had to figure stuff out between ourselves but i'm never working with them again.

[@PeterKae]

Joao Neto Yes I agree ! Would help my films too !

[@Wolfshifter]

Find a shot list template and, if applicable, do a lined script ahead of time to pre-plan the shot list.

[@uploadsnstuff8902]

Storyboards help a lot, best next thing is a shot list.

[@smepable]

Well there cant be a simple checklist, if anything, this video was the checklist. You have make a list of what information and what emotiin you want (not) to convey with every beat of your scene and then find the shot or sequence of shots that is accomploshing that best.

[@smepable]

I think you only learn thst from a) practice (shooting sth and then see in the efit if the shots work together like you had in your mind) and b) looking at lots of examples that impress you or are like the project you plan to do and analyse them. A great resource for that is the channel Studio Binder, and Every frame a painting.

8:07 You can also break this rule if you’re trying to add uneasiness to the scene. That’s what Christopher Nolan did with Batman the dark Knight. When Batman was interrogating the Joker.

[@edh9237]

The biggest 180 rule breaking application is Sports. Baseball and football lead with breaking the rules.

[@TypicalBambi]

good spot, i also realised that the camera switched from being on the left side of batman to show joke on left, and then on the right to show joker on the right. i guess this adds to the uneasiness and and confusion.... which i only noticed now

[@MichaelStrawn_I_am]

fsxdom The camera angles only work as well as the music. Christopher Nolan wanted to add unfamiliarity to the scene, so he added unfamiliar camera angles to throw people off.

[@Leprutz]

Richard Linklater threw that 180° over board in a conversation and made an amzing scene in Code 46. Daren Aaronofsky played it well by skipping that same rule, almost unnoticeable in Requiem for a Dream. It is true... know the rules, but rules are meant to be bent.
