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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@MarkyV-oe5pn]

Thabk you. You made this an easier reference for me. Doing a fight scene. Ill need this! 👊🥋

[@liauchungren848]

For moment, I thought Eric Bana have quit acting and starting as KZbinr lol

[@whateveryoucall7031]

I wish more "CONTENT CREATOR" understand what POV mean, they've been using it wrong all over internet. Sometimes I even saw "filmmaker" doing it wrong as well lol

[@benjaminvernes]

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

[@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

i wonder which camera and lens do u use for u aroll videos? thanks a lot

[@Alexzarfatifilms]

I use an Ursa 12K and Sigma art 24-35mm

EXCELLENT VIDEO Short and to the point... "BRAVO Darling... Bravo"

Simple. Concise. Packed with practical knowledge. Loved it❤ Subscribing to your channel and coming back for more👍🏻👍🏻

[@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!

[@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 😂

[@RunnyBottom]

I'm particularly good at backshots

[@blackrabbitmedia9170]

Video is great, however, I use KZbin for work related purposes, thank God my monitor is facing the wall. Showing a still of a full on sex scene to go over shot composition is not cool, no matter how much you like it.

[@mugisaalvin9800]

please am suggesting don't do the flicker transitions...its kinda distracting... i didn't complete the video because of that..

[@joshkiddfilms1295]

Great stuff!

[@photographybydash]

Great informative video!

[@bmendes9165]

bro look like billy russo

[@tonybankole]

Thank you so much for this informative content. Please, what's the name of the font used on this video?

[@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]

@@Alexzarfatifilms yeah

If someone uses a cowboy shot which transaction should be used. Kindly reply

[@anjaiahthanniru8880]

Mid shot

This are called shot size

[@niktuscemek4247]

Now, you shot then you ask AI to reconstruct the scene as if it was Denis villeneuve. Ez.

Amazing video! Although angles aren’t shots

[@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.

[@1-click]

Absolutely! 🙌 Thanks for sharing these amazing tips! I'll definitely try incorporating some of these shots into my next video. Can't wait to see how they elevate the final product! 🎬✨

thx

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!

[@bauyrzhanyerdaliyev8327]

maybe video is great, I don't know, I couldn't watch it after 30 seconds of this same transition effect and sound effect from shutter, and also angle of the camera pointing at the speaker is like you looking through the camera that about to fall backward, and stop moving your hand left and right, since you position yourself in the center, that composition supposed to draw attention to you and keep the focus, you swinging your hand every five second to left and right, changing frames to fast and using same effect through the video, and same sound effect made a impossible to watch the video. I would understand if you used different transition depending on the shot from the movie and used different effects for diffent mood and explained, would be better. But video looks like just bunch of cuts copy pasted and same as transition effects, just with click bait thumbnail.

[@globalmedia9ja]

Very detailed and professional. The message has so much clarity and inspiring ❤❤❤

[@BeseDanAlexandru]

Great Video ! I subscribed, nice and short, no bullshit, would be nice for you to pause the videos and draw over the picture explaining placement of the camera and subjects, more of a guidance in a more practical way...

[@ones_flow5652]

I like these shot compilations/comparisons. They are always the same, but still nice to watch. ;-)

Alex just discovered your channel and its great! Subscribed!

[@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.

[@orsonhenry]

I love your style

[@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!

@@Alexzarfatifilms *This is just Filmmaking 101. You just regurgitated the basic shot types showing screenshots from random films with weird overlays, grain & transistions and acting like you've found the Holy Grail.*

[@Alexzarfatifilms]

@cherrytv3 😂 never said I found the holy grail however this is a basic understanding of shots that everyone needs to know and how to use them in your film. While maybe this isn’t helpful to you there are people that benefit from this…. Or maybe not either way it was free info brother 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@cherrytv3]

@@Alexzarfatifilms That's what I'm saying too... If we wanted free info we could just google it. As you are a professional filmmaker, we want some nuanced information from people like you. KZbin filmmaking space has become like just 'Jingling keys in front of a baby' lately. Please don't make the bare minimum generalized content in order to shove a sponsorship somewhere in between... Or I'm just stupid to expect anything more from you not realising that that's what everyone's aiming to do nowadays.
