How Greta Gerwig Makes a Film

[@aidilfawzy1665]

I love that all her films that she directed are completely different from each other in terms of visuals & storyline and yet it all has a similar theme & message that can only be told in a way that only HER can do it. This just proves that she established herself as a filmmaker that will be adored, respected & studied as years pass by, and that's really amazing knowing that female filmmakers don't usually get the same treatment as the male ones does.

how lucky are we to be alive alongside greta

So true 🙌

[@mindexhibit]

an idol, an icon of our time. can't wait to see what she makes next. great video!!!

[@omarherasme6699]

That's a great video! And as for Greta, following her career for the past 10 years has been a great journey. Can't wait to see what she'll do in future films.

[@fromtheframe]

Thanks! Couldn't agree more.

[@edo27]

loved this video! it is so well done and i loved how you intertwined her interviews and thought processes along with your own thoughts re: Greta's way of working! thanks for making! it made me want to rewatch ladybird and watch little women and frances ha!

[@fromtheframe]

So glad you enjoyed the way the video was put together. Honestly, I found so many great sound bites while researching for this video, it was hard to narrow them down to what’s there. Thank you for the support!

[@karipola]

i loved so much your analysis about Greta's movies! I'm writing a comic book and your video found me right in the moment i'm stuck in a chapter, and watching it kind of helped me to see more clearly what I wanna say??? lol i don't know, guess we really learn from others perspective of things, your channel is already one of my favorite when the subject is cinema. Thank you for sharing your ideas and never stop making such great videos!

[@MB-io2lk]

A great introduction to Greta's directorial and screenwriting style and the work behind it ! ❤😊 Congrats 👍

[@fromtheframe]

Thank you so much!

[@rebeccapatterson649]

She’s a political hack - her victims are never seen. She abuses other women whom disagree with her selfish ways.

[@alfalej]

This is gold. Thanks

[@sawyerspecter]

Wonderful video. I've loved all your videos so far. They are all well thought-out and well presented videos that I can learn something from. I like your perspective. One of my favorite films are 20th Century Women and C'mon C'mon. I'd love to see your analysis on director Mike Mills and those films in particular because I never see people talking about him and I think he is one of the most under appreciated directors right now. Anyway, keep up the great work!

[@fromtheframe]

Thank you so much for the kind comment. Also, 20th Century Women is literally one of my favorite films! I feel like Lady Bird was a spiritual successor to that film - just from Gerwig's perspective. Mike Mills is definitely a director whose work I would be interested in exploring in the future.

[@sawyerspecter]

​@@fromtheframeI agree. Would be anticipating then!

[@RavikantRai21490]

I love your channel. Thank you for another amazing video essay. I've been thinking of doing something like this for film editing with several video ideas I had but never really got started.

[@fromtheframe]

Thanks! You should definitely start - that's the hardest part. I love seeing other people's perspectives and would love to see a channel on film editing.

[@cholocco2831]

Another fantastic video. Can’t wait to see more!

11:51 omg i need that 400 pages long version of little women script.....

[@fromtheframe]

I know, that would be amazing to read. There is an alleged “early draft” floating around the Internet; however, I can’t vouch for its legitimacy, and it's only 142 pages.

[@anneboyer6359]

Fantastic. I had a question too. All the effects from 11:34 to 11:52, how do you make all that? Where to learn that?

[@fromtheframe]

Thanks for watching! It's just a mixture of keyframing the position of objects on and off-screen, and for the text effects, some of that was done in Keynote using the "Trace" animation.

[@anneboyer6359]

@@fromtheframe thanks, what about the fancy background paper animation? Is that just some video you downloaded of the paper animation from another source?

[@fromtheframe]

Oh yeah, that was just the screenplay over a crumpled paper animation with a blend mode applied.

Ha and Lady Bird were so much better than Barbie I can't believe there's a real debate over Barbie's "lack of" nominations.

Greta Gerwig and Sarah Polley together - dream team!!!

[@mahmoudshaban9009]

great video

[@Valkyri3Z]

I just realized that whole point of Frances Ha was totally lost on me. I did not even notice the friendship between the two women.

[@thehostofmmm]

Might wanna redo the thumbnail. Misspelled "expectations"

[@fromtheframe]

Thank you so much. A little easter egg - there's also a minor one in the video. Of course I noticed that one, but not the glaring one in the thumbnail 🫣

[@itstonycia]

Interested

[@itsrob2321]

To be fair, writing is at first, improv… It comes out of the imagination to create the story. The difference is in writing it can be tweaked to create all the dimensions of unity within the story.

[@jayci1]

nice

[@BH-Movie-Reviews]

"I need the money..." she said,,,, well that just explained that hot mess Barbie movie.

[@BH-Movie-Reviews]

after watching Barbie,,, i doubt i will ever watch another one of her films

[@BH-Movie-Reviews]

after hearing "talk",,,, makes me wonder who is really writing her stuff..

[@akashsinghal4517]

If anybody has read the script of "The Little Women" written by Greta Gerwig, you'd find this movie is so badly directed. None of the actors have pulled their weight. There are such clear moments in the script that make a scene magical and the actors have paid no heed to it and just rushed through them. For eg the last train scene where Fredriech says "i have nothing to give to you, my hands are empty", Jo's character holds his hand and says "no they are not"-now look at what Saoirse Ronan has done in the scene. The only thing that the script maybe did not have was an inherent rhythm. The only element of structure that pops out is the back and forth in time. Was that what led to this rushing? I wish somebody who has read what Greta wrote would interview here about how she directed it.

[@justafidemyself]

She better enjoy this brief acclaim before imploding with snow white 😪
