Videos made by filmmakers for filmmakers are the best, they're short and conscise there's no extra 5 minutes of bs i came here to get camera angles and i got them

[@benjaminvernes]

Man thank you for getting straight to the point and clearly explaining them without blabbering on or trying to sell stuff. Thank you

[@benjamin.kelley]

One thing that unlocked my shot variability was understanding that "wide" doesn't always mean "wide lens", and that each shot intentionally has a specific part in the story, in the way it is captured can tell the story completely different than another.

[@Alexzarfatifilms]

That’s actually really true I didn’t mention that but I have found I like using 50mm for my wide shots and it really gives it a great look. Intention is definitely everything your spot on about that.

[@benjamin.kelley]

@@Alexzarfatifilms Same here. Getting 50mm+ gives such a different feel that's - dare I say it - "cinematic".

[@Alexzarfatifilms]

@benjamin.kelley lol damn we collectively need to come up with another word to use instead of “Cinematic” it’s just so hard cause it’s so perfect lol 😂

[@charithheenpalla]

I love that on the same day all the shills are dropping their *next best thing* content you are out here dropping actionable knowledge that is not limited to gear

[@Alexzarfatifilms]

Dude, I saw that kind of weird. I don’t know why everyone has to drop all those gear videos on the same exact day. It almost makes me not wanna watch them Lol

[@charithheenpalla]

@@Alexzarfatifilms Media embargoes, products shipped weeks in advance with agreements in place for "influenzas" to release on a given day at time, i was the biggest chump to this this GAS until i started comparing specs as policy for every new released product to show my dopamine riddled brain the incremental (if even that) improvements are not worth the money spent which i could use to search for a place or person that would be interesting infront of my camera which is what cinema really is (imo) more power to you and your journey man! heavily rooting for you

[@Alexzarfatifilms]

Thanks brother I really appreciate that

[@kaptured.moment]

Mannn, this video couldn’t be anymore clear 💯 straight to the point & literally explained all of these in about 2 sentences each! Great vid & informative

thx

[@NeostheticProduction]

Im noticing some people in the comments that are confused and may have misunderstood the meaning of the work 'cinematic' and claiming this video has a misleading title. I feel like the word 'cinematic' has been so over used people dont really understand the intended meaning. It isnt really meant to be an asthetic. Its more of a meaningful way of shooting. Cinema style filming is basically using each shot with purpos. Not to make it look a certain way but inteanded to FEEL a certain way. A way to communicate emotions and mood to the audience without using words. This video title has been very acurate in my opinion because the more shot lists you know the clearer you can communicate to the audience how you intend them to feel. 12 shot lists is like 12 different words.. if you were stuck with 3 shot lists, youre stuck with three words and its hard to make a cenematic video with those limited shot list as you cant make the audience feel the meaning of your scene. Im not sure that makes it any clearer. But my point is.. the shots are not meant to be picked at random to look nice like a movie. Movies use each shot list to tell a story. This video is teaching you more ways to tell a story... making it more cinematic.... its pretty clear.... i think some people here just needs to check your understanding of the word cinematic. Even cinematic sequences are meant to tell a story. But in order to do so you need to understand what your shot list is saying to the audience just like the way we understand the word sad... cant say your sad to see someone and intend to understand you if you really meant to say youre happy to see them.. idk if im over working this but i just wanna be super clear.

[@KartikSharma-xm2dp]

Great one! Cleared a lot of doubts. I had an idea that this particular scene should be shot from this angle but i did not know the names and the effects of those shots. The video is great to clear the basics. Well explained!

[@danishsamir8807]

I think this video is really valuable for artists who are struggling with their composition in paintings. Studying these different kinds of cinematic shots could provide insights into how to approach storytelling in paintings. Great video

[@jocidxps3]

You are absolutely a amazing teacher Alex keep it up because no doubt this is pure gold for any aspiring film maker or even who is already is a pro well done

[@ononto_g]

I love how your videos are straight to the point

Dude your videos are so pro and some of the best Ive ever seen. Id absolutely love to see how you edit these talking head videos. Where you find the music and pretty much the whole process

[@tomtomtheninja]

Love this informative video. One thing I think you missed on the OTS is that it's official name is a "dirty single". OTS became popular down the road.

You earn a new subscriber! I’m intending to create one long-form video, but I wanna create a unique way so that my viewers can have a cinematic experience! I learned a lot from you in this video. Don’t think I can replicate the shots you mentioned since this would be my first time creating it! But I’ll try using the knowledge you gave in this video! And you earned a new subscriber!

[@MuhammadTalha-ve1vm]

Beautiful Video. Loved every bit of it. I shut the lights off and laid back.

[@r.a.mpictures]

Just watch Kurosawa! He's the best at moving the camera and the subject within the frame. I understand that people just want to study modern directors, but modern filmmaking is mostly lazy, and Kurosawa still, 7 decades later, stands at the top! Thank goodness Roger Deakins exists in this era and others, obviously.

[@rishavsahay2367]

This video is really helpful i have kept it in my downloads thanks 🙏 ❤

[@LuisMorales-qk7tx]

Great video, super informative and i feel like i could reflect on alot of those shot in different films ive seen and recall why they showed up at that point in the narrative. One question i do have is about the close ups, why are they typically done at around 80mm as you said? My guess is that zooms can have a more flattering effect on the intimate features on body or face. Thanks for great content!

[@mcneilbelle]

Excellent video bro and really liked the examples being used

[@ardxncy]

this sum good stuff bro, keep up the good work!

wonderful video mann, learned a lot. keep it up

[@tashitenzin4599]

Awesome content 🎉

[@conical3333]

In my eyes, all shots should have a reason to exist and should most often be long shots. Long shots helps the audience connect the characters with the setting and allows us to feel like a real person watching these characters. I don’t enjoy constant use of rack focus, over the shoulder shots because it takes us out of reality, holding us at gun point to pay attention only to what the characters are discussing. Sometimes it is effective, but a simple LS or FS with a group of characters talking (in one shot) just feels more satisfying to look at.

Damn dude you’re the second person that said that. Genuinely curious what were you expecting?

[@SleepingDragonsButler]

​@@Alexzarfatifilms maybe combined with camera movements, such as dolly shots, jib booms, focus racks, etc, into these shots.

@tochithevoice no way brother!!!! I know what you mean. I’ve done the same thing. I do find it funny though that my man is peeping the time you left the comment lol.

[@kellcoleStyleEnt]

Hey what lens they use for a medium shot

[@Alexzarfatifilms]

The lens doesn’t necessarily determine whether it’s a medium, closeup etc. it gives a certain look to the image and it depends on what look you’re going for. in theory you could use any lens for a medium shop. It just has to cover from about the bottom of the chest up. Does that make sense?

[@kellcoleStyleEnt]
