Excelent tutorial. For a mma training video, to a shot list, what shot types do you indicate? Thanks

[@film.academy]

Great question👍🏻 I’d suggest wide shots to show the entire action/ move demonstration, and then close ups to show specific details. Hope that’s helpful.

[@PatrickMastersProductions]

[@film.academy]

Awesome!

[@stealthven2352]

This is a very informative video but I think that close-ups for be kept for special moments otherwise you could fall victim to the law of diminishing returns

Those are great cameras👍🏻 and yes, CUs are often the key to good storytelling. And they’re super helpful in the editing!

[@noobprivar]

I want to learn more I subscribed

[@film.academy]

Thanks for the sub! What areas of filmmaking are you most interested in??

[@dourent]

I Subscribed! I am a student at Full Sail University , I feel Like I have to keep practicing my composition to stay within my shot list.

[@dourent]

I would be also interesting to see composition in visual design. Or maybe how to do a shot list or even creating a Pre-line shot plan with your script reference film scripts. I enjoyed this video edited very well.

[@film.academy]

Thanks for supporting my channel! Great comments. Visual design, photographs, and paintings are all wonderful inspiration for your filmmaking. Before making a shot list, I recommend the director and cinematographer get together and share with each other visual references that inspire them and the film they are planning to make. Pick a painter whose composition or color palette you like, or maybe it’s a photographer or designer, or most likely it’s scenes from another film that you love and want to be inspiration for your film.

[@dnmanimation7302]

Very nice and informative video. One question: Do you add your thoughts for camera movements in the description to the right side of the shot list?

[@film.academy]

Yes, though keep them short in the actual shot list. Maybe 5 or 6 words. Don’t write a paragraph;) The shot list is a document you share with other crews members (cinematographer, 1st AD, Producer), and you want it to be a guide for them as well, but they don’t need all of the details you may have in your head. As the Director, you’ll have your own notebook or maybe the script, with detailed notes about each shot and each scene. Hope this is helpful;)

WHOLE VIDEO IS STOLEN FROM STUDIO BINDER!

[@film.academy]

I’ve never read or subscribed to Studio Binder..and I’ve been teaching filmmaking for more than 20 years…and making films for more than 30 years. There are some fundamental rules and techniques to filmmaking which I’m sure are covered by people who understand how to and have made films. I’m assuming the people who created Studio Binder understand and have made films. Is that the case?
