Film Directing Tutorial - How to Shoot Effective Scene Coverage

[@culturehyena]

“To overshoot is to, in my opinion, not have a point of view” 🔥🔥🔥

[@roartollefsen656]

Some of the best videos I have seen on this subject. No nonsense. Straight to the point. I will keep watching these

[@daveminion6209]

David Fincher, the MASTER of coverage and blocking.

[@downervideopodcast5259]

"to overshoot is to not have a point of view" wow I really like that

[@archmageguidla]

Thanks for including female directors. I hadn’t realized how rare it was in KZbin instructional videos until just this moment - and it is both a breath of fresh air and really motivating for me.

[@FilmSkills]

You’re welcome! Mary Lou and Bethany are not only extremely accomplished directors, but wonderful human beings.

[@atlbike]

I really like the script shot markup approach. Simple & fast.

[@BuckBrothersProjects]

Thank you so much for releasing this video. This is one area of filmmaking I wanted to know more about. Not very many people go into detail and give you tips on how to do this.

[@creativeorstrange]

This is a fantastic video.

[@randotom7631]

Agreed

[@KedarRai]

Nice video. Thank you so much sir. I am from Nepal 🇳🇵

[@gnz-art]

Great video, just a quick question. Between cuts and repositioning of the camera, do you use the audio from the master shot throughout all the other scenes or you use the audio recorded in each of all the other scenes?

[@FilmPunk]

Personally I use the audio per take to edit with and then swap out audio if for some reason one shot is better audio. But with a good sound mixer they should be identical

[@chillwithchicken]

All your videos are super helpful, thank you so much!

[@santhoshreddy1992]

This video gave me much more clarity on film making .. 😀😀

[@FilmSkills]

I'm happy it helped!

[@Chromedbustop]

6:39 you can even take that little snippet of him taking a sip and use it for a tutorial on blooper reels! :)

[@FilmSkills]

Or maybe, that was a key plot point in the story ;)

[@nabillaouar9775]

Thank you for sharing these tips !

[@romeovkuki]

This is the videos I'm looking for

[@haiwood5994]

You help me so far in your entire tutorials, thanks very much .

[@joshdiditt]

In short films I always get lost in the edit when the scene ends. Can you make a video on how to plan for transitions into the next scene?

[@FilmSkills]

Actually, we discuss all of that in the paid course at either the FilmSkills Directing Master Course or FilmSkills Unlimited.

[@Ilovethepatriarchy]

L and J cuts help

[@OkeechobeeFlorida]

This is very high quality!

[@dbj1852]

Amazing way better than film school!

[@erichimo1118]

Excellent quality video. Nice job. Very educational.

[@carl.1up]

Excellent excellent tips! Thanks!!

[@hippopictures]

One of the best lessons I've seen. Curious, with 4k resolution becoming more common in filming, can't we just zoom in on post and not lose resolution since we're exporting in HD? Thank you for posting!

[@FilmSkills]

You certainly can, and that's a good option, but remember that there's a big difference between digitally zooming into an image in post and optically pushing in using the lens - optically is always better because the depth of field will be more believable.

[@vairamania9210]

Sir is very useful thank more directing tips vedio want

[@zampiangel3871]

These videos are better than some Costly Film Schools.

[@laurenceminter6019]

This is so goood, thank you for the amazing content 🙌🏾

[@KT_Thereal]

I Enjoy this Film Making a lot.... that's Where my Dream is!!❤️❤️🤞🏽

[@Jayskitso]

Great video I filmed a whole movie just off the tips from this video ❤

[@omm1886]

thanks for teaching us

[@KFC-013]

thanks for sharing great information. ❤❤❤❤

[@DeanReynoldsMusic]

OMG This is soooooo greatttt!

[@braekhaven]

So when you made 3 shots into six, did you just crop? Or did you change lenses for the closer ups? Or same lens and move up?

[@FilmSkills]

I changed lenses. Its ideal to either change lenses or move the camera, but only crop if you absolutely have to- it never looks as good changing lenses.

[@AllanGildea]

Thank you Jason, very helpful.

[@FilmSkills]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Nkhosi_Betting]

[@jayvantvetal3909]

I am Indian . Very good video sir

[@Dex-jc8pj]

Incredible, what did you shoot with?

[@FilmQi]

thanks for the video! I really like it

[@michaeleasler5249]

Great video! I'm still unsure of what is meant by "sizes" with respect to camera positions.

[@RemoWilliamsDrums]

I believe what they are meaning by sizes is you get a close up, a medium close up and a wide shot with each camera position, so different sizes of the frame / the subject within the frame so a close up is a smaller size compared to an MCU ( medium close up) compared to a wide size frame.

[@Moonmantv1]

You guys rock 🙏🏽

[@electricdreamer]

Why would anyone downvote this video?

[@santhoshreddy1992]

Great lesson

[@ClaudioDesideriFilms]

Great stuff, thanks!

[@NBK88_IL_IND]

Awesome video. Great lesson for beginners.

[@SatyamMishra-pc9tf]

I am interested in direction, could anyone give me a fair idea about course

[@aliuyusuf9557]

Does this mean that the characters would have to repeat their conversation if am using a single camera and would like to get a master shot, over the shoulder shot and the reverse over the shoulder shot? To be clear, does this mean the conversation would have to be repeated thrice?

[@FilmSkills]

You need to shoot as many takes as you need to capture the right performance. Assuming your actors are well-rehearsed, you can shoot each camera set-up in 3-4 takes, assuming the focus is sharp, the boom pole doesn’t dip into frame, the camera move is correct, etc. That’s why hiring experienced film crews and actors is so important. It saves you time and money in the long run.

[@JoseChemmassery]

Thank you 😊

[@shemarcoley2915]

Great content

[@sanyaolumichael6229]

Please how do you achieve a reverse shot with a camera or editing because I'm new into this and I want to get better. I'm still using a phone for now

[@mahendravarma8026]

If entire shot is recorded from each person's perspective, that means the same shot is recorded twice once from each side? Please clarify ..if so, how can you maintain same emotion for multiple takes?

[@ganivdk9937]

That why "editing cuts" Plays crucial role

[@cannotthinkofoneatth]

in movies, do they plan these shots at the time of the shooting or is it all planned to the minutest details at the time of scripting the movie

[@satish8889]

amazing,,, thank you

[@velpulayamini1807]

how to create a storyboard when u cant draw? is there anyway i can make that ? without a storyboard artist?

[@LouisLuzuka]

Fire 🔥

[@yugrajpujari4257]

Is Your cource available in hindi

[@Bhavvani_Briijes]

very useful vedio

[@AmazingKevinWClark]

Another way this story could go just by simply changing the editing and coverage is by over lapping the male character's audio a bit with the women applying make up reinforces the idea that she's more focused on the make-up than him. We can think of the camera being a Pov shot in this manner where we're not looking at the man despite hearing him, we are focused on the make-up. You could even go in for a close up on the make-up to give more attention to this idea. Maybe the mirror is at a slight angle to show more of the room suggesting that the character is even more vein because they are looking to see if people are watching her like the man claimed. Keep it on a close up with the man still talking until he reaches a critical point where she snaps the case close and finally he has her full attention and the camera gets to have him in the shot again. Symbolizing that it's a two way conversation. There are so many means of visually telling a story.

[@FilmSkills]

That’s exactly right. And when you shoot proper coverage on set, you’ll then have the option to play around with different ways of telling the story in the editing room. I like to say that we make three movies - the first is in our minds when we write the screenplay. The second is what the movie becomes with real actors and locations, and the third movie is the story we ultimately end up with in the editing room.

[@rupomsreelkolkata]

Make about script pitching .Love from India

[@toestud3791]

unrelated, but anyone know how i should edit in order to get this crispy kind of ASMR dialogue sound quality at 6:12? haha

[@editor8617]

Can I take class with you ?

[@Timlandas]

Wow 🙏

[@gonyabincineproduction3642]

🧡

[@storywala88]

❤

[@Dumezulu]

Great vid. But it's the type of topic that is ripe to include info on cutting on action.

[@FilmSkills]

Except this is a video on shooting coverage on set. Cutting on motion applies when editing, which we cover in the editing videos.

[@jesseno-limits9660]

coool

[@achikcinedeepversion.in.]
