Great video, thanks!

I see your content are all focused on one subject. can you do a lighting session on complete scene covering master shots, mid, close up with multiple subjects/people. that will be a real world scenario and very helpful. thanks a lot for sharing your valuable knowledge..

[@FilmSkills]

Actually, we do - we cover all of that in the paid courses at FilmSkills.com

very nice

[@brucemarshall1439]

Hi Jason, firstly thank you very much for these tutorials. In this one I get the depth of field and what you're doing with the focal lengths etc. I just wondered to create the 'over-the-shoulder' conversation are you using two cameras or do you film it twice, once from each side?

[@FilmSkills]

Only one camera. That’s why rehearsals are so important to ensure a consistent performance when you flip the camera.

[@brucemarshall1439]

@@FilmSkills Thank you, once again. This is obviously very time consuming too!

[@kristicifci5389]

More like this i rreally enjoy it next video how to focus pull on ur own

[@FilmSkills]

I talk about that in my free online filmmaking course. You can check it out at www.filmskills.com/free-training/

[@TheTwick]

Is “focus puller” still a job in cinema production? A good one was worth their weight in gold?

[@FilmSkills]

Absolutely it is - that thankless responsibility falls on the shoulders of the 1st Assistant Cameraperson on a larger set.

[@salvadorruiz684]

What are the actors' names?

[@syharold]

on your emotional (last scenes), why are you cutting their heads? is there a reason?

[@FilmSkills]

You frame for the Rule of Thirds, meaning you place the actor's eyes a third from the top of the screen. When you frame close-ups and extreme close-ups, you will naturally give the actors a "haircut."

[@syharold]

@@FilmSkills Thank you very much. I notice them do this alot in korean dramas.

[@yukselp]

Please someone explain to me, why the heck the camera makers don't put DOF calculator in their cameras? You have every info: lens angle, focusing distance, f-stop value, sensor specs... Why the heck don't you tell me what is my nearest and farthest focusing distances and a focal point suggestion on screen???

[@FilmSkills]

I agree! That would be amazing!

[@yukselp]

@@FilmSkills Thank you for your comment. I was going crazy thinking about this and wondering what am I possibly missing.

[@DGaryGrady]

Good question! One possible reason is that there's no sharp boundary between being (apparently) in focus and clearly out of focus. Depth of field is a little deeper for an image viewed on a cell phone versus on IMAX screen. Of course, manufacturers could use some arbitrary standard circle of confusion (the limiting disk that a point can blur into while still being seen by the viewer as a point) and this would at least serve as a rough guideline. That was the basis for the depth of field tables published in the ASC Handbook for example, and also printed on the barrels of some lenses.
