How to film a sequence

[@germanevision]

Wow! At last we get to see real film making tutorial on KZbin. I think there is only one more such video by film riot which talks about how to shoot a dialogue scene. All the other channels are only about the rule of third and key and back lights. Thanks so much. This single episode would take at least a week to understand.

[@Alex-B-Media]

Man your storytelling is so so fresh. Your use of your personal taste of music breaks the mold and just adds to the atmosphere. 100/10 have learnt something today

[@philipbloom]

Thank you 😊

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

One thing Philip does really well is to incorporate music effectively in his scenes

[@joshzaring]

My God man, the mood from the colors in the “coffee walk” made me want to see an entire film like this. Great work.

[@polaroidsky]

The 2010 film, The Trip, comes to mind.

[@SilverSmrfr]

Just want to say THANK YOU for your videos. The amount of work you put into every single one is insane.

[@Emgee78]

Im looking to start a vlog channel, nothing really serious, just a mundane here's-me-doing-boring-stuff kind of thing, and my man recommended this particular video after watching a few of my amateur video samples. I'm glad he did!

[@Indignepourdeux]

You sir are hands undoubtedly down the most educational video instructor out there. Thanks for your aamzing work, hope Sony is rewarding you well enough

[@RandomLifeProductions]

Simplicity in action... no complicated transitions priceless....

[@andrewtaylor5103]

I like the wide shot where it's hard to spot you. The car stopping to let you walk indicates where you are anyway and it lets my mind be interactive by having to find you. Plus it enhances the moody distant loneliness of the whole piece. So nice work from my point of view haha.

[@philipbloom]

Andrew Taylor - Video Producer everything is subjective of course!

[@MobileFilmmaking]

Watching the jump cuts you did for CNN was amazing. I'm a beginner but saw that composition was everything. I love the color grading on that as well.

[@jgvbadv]

Meeting you in person is on my bucket list, thanks for your insight from Croatia :)

[@co_si_dame]

I just had my mouth open for whole time how amazing this video is :O love it!!!!

[@chrisMsimon]

Philip, you are still truly one of the greats & the fact we once spoke regularly makes me very proud. Filmmakers are lucky to have your intuition to guide them. It's like some very early advice I got on my autobiographical idea for my movie from one Bryce Courtenay, when he was still an Ad Man. I'm about to get a trailer out, "CHRISOFIA - The Longest Suicide". I'll dropbox you an MP4 iPhone version for guidance. Big respect from Chris Simon.

[@TourayMediaGroup]

Really got me in the beginning. Great Video!

[@mdturnerinoz]

Awesome, Philip! Not only the didactics of the piece, but I so enjoy your wicked sense of humor. BTW I renewed my MZED for another year just because of YOUR teaching!

[@Rob_Kandels]

I love the explanation and I've been looking for videos that like this ! Great work !

[@davidminarro]

In my country (Spain) we call 'ellipsis' to the jump cuts, and they can be 'time ellipsis' (like in this episode), 'space ellipsis' or 'content ellipsis'.

The intro actually made me forget for a moment why I clicked on the video. Well done sir! I hope to one day be able to tell stories with my videos like you.

[@AJ-kv1po]

Halfway through your other Mzed course right now, superb 👌

[@danquixote6072]

I like the point at 11.10 when you talk about the viewer having to search for the subject. I have noticed how film makers use other people, extras to draw the viewers eye to the main character. The guy with the balloons in the opening scene of Coppola's The Conversation springs to mind. Another film, racking my brains to remember which used a jogger in a bright red running outfit to guide the viewers eye toward the subject.

[@paolofont1]

So cool! thanks for sharing. I just started with videos and found your channel a few months ago. Then realized you are the man behind the Wonder List, which was probably my favorite show. Really sad it was cancelled.

[@alexanderchua]

When people are saying that Philip Bloom is obnoxious but they don't realise that Philip Bloom educates and these pop KZbinrs are the real obnoxious ones with their abs, backflips, coffee-avocado gobbling, twisting transitions and vertigo-inducing shots.

[@SuperPandaren]

Are there people out there claiming Philip Bloom is obnoxious??

[@alexanderchua]

@@SuperPandaren Yes, there are a lot. Mostly, people who don't know the guy and does not understand his humour.

[@24sevencinema]

@@alexanderchua hes one of the best out there Ive been following him for years he even replied to a couple of comments on his posts from me it was totally cool he's a real dude facts

[@alexanderchua]

@@24sevencinema indeed. I met him in a camera show here in London and what you see is what you get with him. His filmmaking is beautiful and he does not rely on transitions and teal and orange grading. When people negatively criticising his style, I feel thay I have to defend the guy.

@@tomkraemer7077 he is and he is a guy that I would pick over any so called filmmakers that just stitch brolls and call them films.

[@clementeen]

Which gimbal are you using?

[@JorisMaas]

Very nice video! That must have been some tight editing with the walking of the Wonderlist promo video since the movements looks so naturally and fluent. It shows well that the editing is such a big part and the filming a relative small part of the whole feeling of a movie. The position of the lights is something I would like to see closer (I did experiment with my own Aputure LED lights but it's by far one of the hardest things to learn (lighting in video).

[@amphotography1746]

Well, I think trying to point too much things like you are actually taking the scarf with you and stuff like that makes sequences boring over time. I know you are trying to tell that continuity is very important though. I personally like to leave some space for imagination. If person is opening the door is it essential to show opening and closing the door? If it isn't truly essential for the whole story I would leave it out. I may have cut the scene pretty bit shorter. From confused crew reaction to just slamming the door closed. That would have created more tension. I think it is bit sluggish as there's not much variance in shots either. There was lots of possibilities to take close ups and details to build more those frustrated expressions and show the weather by going low to feet to see wet shoes instead of just taking that pretty easy shot just following with gimbal. I think those kind of things could bring depth to storytelling..

[@philipbloom]

AM Photography not quite sure why you wrote such a long comment? Things are subjective. I do not ever say in any part of the course this is the ONLY way to do things. It’s about options. Shoot enough to give you options.

[@philipbloom]

Plus the camera is a voyeur here. Hence no close ups. I say this. It’s a deliberate style choice. The episode shows all sorts of different ways of shooting sequences. This is just one example and used as talking points. This is obviously not the whole episode yet you seem to be making a comment as if that’s it... This is a free segment to give people a taster of the episode and the course.

[@amphotography1746]

@@philipbloom yeah, I didn't say that the way I may have shot it was the absolute right way either. Just shared my thoughts as i like to analyze things. Nice idea to do masterclass specifically for photographers. Keep going. 👌
