80% Of Videography Basics In Less Than 10 minutes

[@zionnaidu3456]

Coming from a photographer of 8 years and beginning to tackle videography, this beginners guide was brilliant. Made the steps of tackling videography a lot less daunting. Well explained and concise in the right areas whilst explaining in more detail when needed. Awesome job!

[@disco.jellyfish]

Keep in mind that the 180° rule kinda begins falling apart if you are shooting >AND PLAYING BACK< at frame rates far away from 23.976fps such as the very common ones 50FPS, 59.94FPS and 60FPS. I actually prefer 360° of shutter at these playback framerates. Funny enough, this is basically the same shutter SPEED as at 24fps with 180° of shutter angle. Its best to not just blindly copy a single setting but rather consider the context of what you are setting up in a specific moment. Also keep in mind that shooting at shutter SPEEDs that are not a multiple (2^n) of 1/100 or 1/120 can give you flickering depending with some lights due to them flickering at 50Hz or 60Hz depending on what area you are in (Europe is 50Hz for example, any of the Americas and Japan are 60Hz)

[@gedreeves9692]

Definitely worth mentioning for those outside of the US (like yourself) that using 25fps is more suitable than 24fps as light flicker is much less likely to occur during filming due to the hz rating on our lights! Filming is definitely a different beast to photography and both require different thought processes and actions.

[@patkay]

I did originally have that in the script, along with how to combat flicker and where it occurs, PAL and NTSC, the relation to shutter speed, and where the standards came from etc, but it ended up being too technical for beginners so I decided to cut it. There's just way too much stuff to include in 1 single video! But definitely doesn't make it less valid. Even though I'm from Australia, I always shoot in NTSC anyway and generally recommend that for international compatibility, and for light flicker I actually tend to break the 180 shutter rule (because you need to anyway) and it tends to work for me! But yes, definitely valid. I'll give you a Heart and hopefully other people see this comment too.

I am a content creator (primarily fishing videos and other water activities) and I have been rocking with the GoPro for a year and a half now. It has served me well but now that I'm getting into some bigger projects within my business, I've been thinking it's time to set up the gear a little. Looking forward to seeing more videos in this series and bingeing a bunch of your videos!! Thanks so much, this video was super helpful!!

Random question: Where do you buy your shirts? They always looks so fitted and clean!

[@patkay]

I get all my shirts and hoodies from the fine fellows over at Zanerobe. Not sponsored, I just love their stuff and love supporting local Aussie brands.

[@hawks5196]

@ourearth4ever I think it’s more about how well he fits in the shirts 😅

[@BadSloucher]

Working out and being fit like Pat also helps

[@johnjay370]

@@patkay love how you go in depth were others wouldn't. My first cameras were prosumer quality and did not have a shutter angle option and my lenses did not have the ability to rack focus. I did some of my better shots on them. But when I bought a professional video camera with new cinema lenses. I spent all day playing with the shutter angle and the rack focus. Good times.

[@cartmanbruh23]

It's not about tshirts.. the guy works out hence the fit is good. C'mon son.

Wow you just came in clutch. I was just looking for a refresher because I wanted to start making videos but havent made videos in 5yrs.Thank you! Love your content! ❤

[@patkay]

Absolutely my pleasure! Thanks for watching

[@spelunkerd]

If you've shot a clip at 60 fps, perhaps thinking you'd want to slow the time scale down, is there a way of downsizing the file to 30 fps? You might change your mind and decide to leave the time scale as is, so it would be nice to find a way to delete every other frame....

[@jeremiahkuehne2400]

Your software will automatically do this unless the footage was slowed down in-camera. To "undo" footage that has already been slowed down, simply speed it back up! To get a 60fps (slowed down) clip to play back at normal speed, just set it to 200%.

[@jaredalbin5658]

Was this video recorded at 24fps? What would you recommend for streaming webcam settings for example?

[@Jayson_will]

I thought you said you're gonna drop a description link here, Pat. 😢 Well, thanks so much for this. 😊

[@ajw5868]

Great tips Pat! Just curious, at around 4:00 you talk about 1/120th refreshing more times per second but it is the same as for any other shutter speeds. Only the frame rate would change how much “refreshing” is taking place. Shutter speed just affects the motion blur. Does that sound about right to you?

[@patkay]

It's more that for every frame in your frame rate, it's being exposed at different times depending on your shutter speed, so actually, the overall intervals between each frame look like they're shorter and refreshing more, but yes, the best way to think about it, as I mentioned in the video, is just that it controls the motion blur.

[@alxzheng]

Awesome video! Recently, I've started running into scenarios where I couldn't bring down the exposure anymore in camera like you mentioned and it is probably time for me to get an ND filter. I was wondering if you have any recommendations for first nd filter buyers? Thanks!

[@patkay]

It definitely sounds like its time! For ND's, start out with the cheaper stuff like the Neewer and Hoya brands, then eventually you can work up to better brands like Tiffen or Polar Pro or B&W. Grab a Variable ND to start with so that you can have a good range, then look out for things like sharpness and colour cast, and adjust from there!

Hello, thank you for this very interesting video, but I don't understand the point of shooting in 24 fps when you can do it in 60 or even 120... Don't 60 and 120 just allow more freedom if you want to do slow-motion shots, or isn't it just more pleasing to the eye than 24 FPS? Thank you very much for your reply!

[@mike_s_media]

Technically the industry standard IS 24fps but most consumer grade cameras only shoot in 23.976. Which for the most part has to do with the math of shutter angle in cinema cameras vs the consumer grade mirrorless cameras setting with shutter speed.

[@Waqas_Q_]

For those who can’t find 24fps on your settings, it may be that you are in the NTSC (European) setting instead of PAL (US). So 25 FPS would be your NTSC standard. Hope this helps anyone if they were lost in the settings menu.

[@patkay]

Thanks for adding this! I did want to cover this stuff, but I felt it a little bit too advanced since I would also have to dive into flicker and such. Great to have it here in the comments though! Have a Heart.

[@stefanolugli1461]

[@patkay]

[@Toppu]

this 180 degree shutter rule, it applies to the fps you're shooting with and not to the final fps of the video, right? say, if I shoot a video at 60fps with an intent to later slow it down 2.5x (thus, playing at 24 fps), my shutter speed should still be 1/125?

[@gedreeves9692]

That is correct! If you're wanting to slow footage down to 24/25fps definitely use the 180 on your fps, so 60=1/125. If you're not wanting to slow footage down, always revert to 24/25fps.

[@patkay]

Correct! That's why I refer to it as "capture frame rate" vs "playback frame rate". Later on, these two concepts don't really need to be delineated so much in this way, but for beginners, it's useful to remember that they're two different things. And yep, you're absolutely right! 60fps = 1/125 @ 2.5x, 120fps = 1/250 @ 5x.

[@scottr3299]

Great video! Just a fussy point, but 180 degree “rule” is NOT about shutter speed, it’s about camera blocking. Where you place the camera when filming a scene so that it still can be edited smoothly. For shutters, it’s simply a 180 degree shutter.

i love your Audio Share the Idea too

I‘d mention that Social Media platforms like IG, YT… use 30fps, so if you‘re shooting for social media only, consider choosing 30fps

[@novaplaya]

what if i wanna shoot b roll at 60 fps as well?

[@einShawn]

@@novaplaya that‘s not a problem, it‘s a good thing since you can slow it down and make it smoother, it was meant more for A-Roll since it‘s looks a bit more natural than 60. but it was especially because he mentioned 24fps if I recall correctly, since the pfs would be lower than the platform standart. So use a 30fps Timeline and record in 30 or higher. Hope it was not too confusing the way I explained it😅

Nice video primer Pat. Recommend you kill the bright white overhead light. Not sure why every YT'er thinks this is necessary. By nature, our eye will travel to the most brightly lit point in an image. Which unfortunately, is not your face. Cheers!
