A breakdown of my recent short film "DARKSIDE".
In this video, I'll take you behind the scenes of my recent short film. I’ll breakdown the cinematography and lighting for this short film and show you the process of how I made a short film with no budget and made it look like an A24 quality short film.
If you’re wondering how to make a no budget short film then I’ve got a few tips in this video just for you. But there is also a lot of information about cinematic lighting and behind the scenes cinematography here.
I made this as a cinematic short film tutorial and to help you improve your cinematic filmmaking. If that is something you’re into this behind the scenes short film breakdown is just the thing for you! I hope you enjoy it!
As you might notice this short film was inspired by the JOKER, which has to be one of my favorite films when it comes to cinematography.

this might be a dumb question.. but when you shoot a scene like 5:50, I'm guessing you light the actual scene brightly and then in post, u make it darker right? in other words if u want your scene to look dark, you don't shoot it dark right? if that's the case, how do you know your lights are "bright enough" ?

@SightseeingStan 2 ай бұрын

Yes, especially when shooting log, you actually shoot brighter than you might think. I use things like the waveforms and false color on my monitor to check exposure.

Thanks Stan. That was a helpful insight into multiple aspects of film making. I'm a long term photographer trying to get up to speed with video production. I liked and subscribed - this makes me realise I still have lots to learn. You may downplay your colour grading capabilities but although I recently bought a Studio license for DaVinvi I still have lots to learn. As a photographer perhaps I understand composition, framing and lighting most, but really need to get out, practicing, shooting, editing.

So from the looks of it the scene at 6:45 was really lit up but you made it look moody in post? Bring down exposure, etc?

@SightseeingStan 8 ай бұрын

You are correct. When shooting SLog 3, it's best not to expose to dark but then make it dark in post

@joshrathbun1 8 ай бұрын

@@SightseeingStan I use a canon R6 with clog3 and a smallhd 7 touch and still underexpose my image. I know I still have things to learn about lighting but man every time I shoot my video i feel its too bright but then i get into post and its completely underexposed... so frustrating

@SightseeingStan 8 ай бұрын

@@joshrathbun1 just keep in mind that any Log profile looks "brighter" but when converted or graded it will be darker. That's why should shoot brighter then "correct" exposure. Just keep an eye on your histogram or scopes and expose brighter than what you would but without anything clipping.

Great vid. One request. Links to the lights, or just their names listed here? You use many. It would be great to figure out which were which. Thanks.

@12:26 i actually think it looks better without the edge light. The contrast on his face is really good. Maybe flagging it and having it just touch the chair would make a really yummy sandwich.

Could have definitely also been an option!
