Film Terminology Every Filmmaker Should Know | Set Etiquette

[@MrGone60]

Good heavens the colors!! Man I wish I could get my skin tones to look this good.

[@BrittneyJanae]

I’m glad you liked the colors! 🥹🥹 first time shooting a KZbin video on a Pyxis.

[@MrGone60]

@ Your images always look great, but there was something so silky smooth about this particular video and now I know why.

[@BrittneyJanae]

@@MrGone60could be the Pyxis. Usually I use my fx3. And it’s more sharp sensor wise than blackmagic. Blackmagic has a softer look to the point where I had to take off the diffusion. With Sony I have to add diffusion to soften it! This was already soft so I didn’t need diffusion. One of the reasons I like blackmagic

[@MrGone60]

@@BrittneyJanae I enjoy the softened look form the Pyxis. The fx30 I currently use, I often have to use diffusion to soften as well. But I need to up my grading, there’s just something about silkiness of your image that I hope to some day be able to do.

[@BrittneyJanae]

@ Watch my video on how I light my KZbin videos. It may help!

[@ticaltp3]

Thanks for this! Some of these I've never heard of but will try to implement them when i start filmmaking

[@gregelgie]

Many thanks. Great terms to know as a person just starting out.

[@BrittneyJanae]

I’m glad you found it helpful! 🤩

[@davidsamuels4246]

Thank you! Looking forward to the edition that speaks to camera movements ie."screen right" etc.

[@BrittneyJanae]

I think studio binder and etc have those but I’ll check and if they don’t I’ll def make it. I only make videos based on my experience so if I can remember them I’ll def make it

[@silencewiththedots3455]

[@DucatiKozak]

Good vid and fun to know any regional/national differences. For reference, I'm in Toronto working. I work both above and below the line. I'm a union actor & I crew on production, non-union shoots. Weirdly, I've never heard of "New Deal" here. Also no one here uses "martini" but we know it from seeing your BTS. Everything else is common here. I want to add to the important "eyeliner" for everyone entering the industry,, and I can always tell the new crew members that are enamoured to watch an actor's performance. Get yourself behind a monitor to watch. Sure you're not going to displace your director or producers in video village, but best to either watch on a monitor (If I'm watching a performance, I like to peak into the AC''s monitor) OR DON'T WATCH at all! You don't know where an actor will be looking. Just locking eyes with crew, as an actor, is unnatural for what the actor is trying to do. So if you can't be far away and well hidden, or find a monitor, you should look at your phone or your shoes. Seriously,, it's the most professional thing to do.

[@BrittneyJanae]

Thanks for the info! So interesting to see the regional differences

[@ChillinThisWay]

Super helpful

[@BrittneyJanae]

Glad to hear!

[@jamitred8618]

thnx Brittney

[@IamRandyJ]

Any advice for inspiring filmmakers? In particular, a great place to start. Perhaps a course/video you recommend that starts at the very beginning of making films. Keep producing great content and elevating 💯🖤

[@BrittneyJanae]

I made a video talking about how to start. But essentially just start with your friends. Researching what shots are, and coverage. That’s the biggest part about making a film. Telling story via coverage. Learning about composition. I can make a video

[@aDifferentEye_Chris]

Thank you! 🙏🏾💯💪🏾

[@BrittneyJanae]

No problem!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@breveganlyfe]

Could tell the IQ is different as soon I played the video lol . Can't wait for your review of the Pyxis.

[@Garytyronejohnson]

Awesome!

[@jadefinchscene5644]

excellent idea for a video. wonder where you got it from....winky face. great video.

[@BrittneyJanae]

Well actually it’s been a thought for a while but after my last video I was like let me do it cause a lot of yall wanted to see it!

[@markmcfield]

I like “I gotta go say what up to Sheila.” if I need to 10-2. Shoutsout Justin Jemerson

[@BrittneyJanae]

Lmboooooo!!! Where did he get that!

[@lemecandnoah]

I think I’m ready to communicate with my one man band

[@decarlismadison369]

You are amazing

[@BrittneyJanae]

🥹🥹 thank you so much!

[@decarlismadison369]

@ you’re welcome keep up the great work

[@JanWilliamsBailey]

The only one that was different in this is about the lighting term. I learnt in film school that when We turn on a bright light or turning off a like we say Sparking, And for the No sound I got told we Just gonna N-S this take. But these ones are gonna be really useful once I start having my own bigger projects.

[@BrittneyJanae]

Oh amazing where are you located? It’s so interesting to see how different it is in different places!! It’s good to know so if I ever was to work someone else other then the US I’m not saying things and they are looking at me like huh haha.

[@JanWilliamsBailey]

@ I’m here in the UK, but generally I think you would be fine if you ever got a film job here.

[@helicopter_traffic]

hell yea let’s gooo

[@BrittneyJanae]

💪🏾💪🏾 ayeee

[@benugdsen75]

Great video and content as always. 10-1 must be an american term. In Sweden we are very candid. If you need to do #1 or #2.. you just say it. 😂

[@BrittneyJanae]

Haha that’s what’s up! I love the realness

[@KG-theknickerbockerkid]

Are there dress codes on set? Or specific things people should avoid wearing?

[@BrittneyJanae]

There are kinda dress codes for sure! I may make a video on it lol. But usually all black, or army green. There’s certain things everyone has for cold nights that you will see consistently on sets and etc. but usually all black

[@VernardNuncioFields]

I remember when I was running audio and the actor had a 10-1 and they went with a hot mic. So yeah 😅

[@BrittneyJanae]

Lol oh wow! I’m always nervous and take mine off lmbo

[@EDLEEPHOTO]

10-1 and 10-2. 🤣

[@michaelfrymus]

Martini shot on an 8-12hour day? Damn. I don't think you've been on an actual film set. Days are more like 12-16hours. I rarely if ever work less than 12hrs a day. Unless its a rigging/pre-prep day

[@BrittneyJanae]

So becasue I said 8-12 hour you're telling me I haven't been on a film set even though I have numerous videos showing me being on film sets LOL? It's illegal to work a 16hr day anything over 12 hours isn't actual right in the US. Even once I did a 13hr but that's frowned upon because there has been issues with that in the industry.

[@susiesanchez9537]

No its not illegal to work more than12 hours in America lol who told you that? Google it. They can work you 24 hours if they want they just have to pay you over time and give you 8 hours off after your shift. Nurses work 16s regularly

[@michaelfrymus]

@@BrittneyJanae I see you've worked on sets, but I was speaking about the Hollywood films. Either way, it was sarcasm. But then again, is not illegal to work more than 12hrs. Where you getting this? My film days are always a 14hr days. I've gone up to 16hr days, getting triple over time

[@graphstyle]

@@michaelfrymus DP here. Some productions are actually 8-10 hours. Yeah there are 12-14, even 16 but usually on low-budget, non-union shoots. And usually budget dictates if we go overtime and if production can afford it.

[@michaelfrymus]

@@graphstyleNo. I work union shoots. I work on big budget films & tv shows.
