The Cinematography of Better Call Saul

CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR SEASONS 1-6 OF BETTER CALL SAUL
With the final season coming to an end in a few months, I made this video to highlight the incredible cinematography of this show. Better Call Saul is, in my opinion, the best shot TV show of all time, with its cinematography even surpassing that of its predecessor. I tried to show the variety of different types of shots that are used throughout the show and how they deepen the story. Enjoy!
I do not own the footage or music, only the editing is mine.

the music and video synched perfectly for 3:29, great

[@williamdavis8076]

Thanks for noticing!

[@someguy8951]

Don't forget 2:49 too

[@jamesmmcgill]

Hi, I'm Saul Goodman and legally speaking, I really love this. It's all good man!

[@williamdavis8076]

Thank you!

[@jaredsilvers2782]

Great work. Truly some of the best camera and photography work in the history of film, period.

[@williamdavis8076]

I agree, BCS is my favorite show, cinematography-wise.

[@licccio2133]

2:49 If you watched Breaking Bad, you'll know.

[@anthonysgt]

I hope you make a part 2!!! There will be a lot of cool shots by the time season 6 ends.

[@williamdavis8076]

I may do that!

[@retronimo]

Came in expecting some sort of video essay and thinking "Damn that's a good intro" and didn't realize that was the whole video. 10/10 edit my dude.

[@williamdavis8076]

Thank you so much!

[@brunodominguez151]

This was amazing, you should make a part 2 once the series end!!!

[@williamdavis8076]

Thank you so much, I may!

[@kujojotarostandoceanman2641]

I hope more movies and series now days will have the same amazing shot like these

[@jerefernandez4019]

I miss this show every single day... Thank you very much for this!

[@williamdavis8076]

Thank you for watching!

Great edit man! I love this show so much and you highlighted some of its most incredible shots.

[@williamdavis8076]

Thank you!

[@NEO-DINSU]

This is honestly really cool

[@williamdavis8076]

Thank you!

Zero Emmy nominations for cinematography...

[@williamdavis8076]

Outrageous!

What a sick joke!

Great video, Great song, and Amazing Show.

[@nemigomur]

Awesome video, watched it 3 times already

[@williamdavis8076]

Thank you, that’s great to hear!

[@warbeatler618]

Good video. It was pretty nice to see a montage of the best shots in Better Call Saul.

[@williamdavis8076]

Thank you!

[@siddharthkhattar1297]

This is probably one of the best KZbin videos I've seen ever. Discovered this vid today and have already watched it 4 times.

[@williamdavis8076]

Thank you so much!

[@danieltessier8036]

Thank you so much for this fine video & especially the name of the band & song of the opening theme.As a musician ,I always wondered if that was just a bumper clip for the intro or the beginning of a real song.Yes,the cinematography is the best in movies or tv shows bar none. These folks are real artists!!

[@williamdavis8076]

Thank you, and I agree!

[@zoeraye]

this compilation really emphasizes the importance of lighting! this show is beautiful in so many aspects, but excels in making shots that are unique and film noir-esque all because of how they are lit and framed. great compilation, great content, and i hope you enjoyed the ending.

[@williamdavis8076]

I agree! In particular, the shots of Jimmy and Kim smoking are straight out of a noir.

[@williamspencer7211]

Wow! Thank you for this.

[@williamdavis8076]

Thank you for watching!

[@himizaziousssecondwip3045]

Simply outstanding, every scene tells a story

[@williamdavis8076]

Thank you very much!

[@spearshake4771]

Its a fucking travesty that this show hasn't won ONE emmy award for cinematography.

[@williamdavis8076]

I know!

[@satanclaus1693]

Only keeps getting better too. Point and Shoot despite being pretty self-contained was so creative with its shots

[@williamdavis8076]

I agree, I especially love the overhead shot of Jimmy lying next to Howard’s dead body.

[@Mythical.History]

@@williamdavis8076 Live Howard reaction to that information: 💀

Just incredibly done

GOAT 🐐 series

Hope they use this setting in the finale

[@pavan3216]

❤️

[@gamemaster2311]

I'm of the firm belief that this show is the greatest piece of television in the history of the medium at this point. That being said, the shot at 1:29 is incredibly stupid looking and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

[@williamdavis8076]

It is an odd shot.

[@isaiahromero9861]

It's a weird, but incredibly bold and creative shot with a lot of meaning. But yea it does look pretty dumb lol, I respect this show for taking so many creative risks though

[@WEBPMAFIAONYOUTUBE]

Better Call Saul is pretty similar to a lot of Tarantinos work when kt comes to direction

[@jakepayne2985]

It should be a criminal charge, a state statute, for this show never getting respect at the award shows. I don’t follow the awards, but I do know they’ve been snubbed. Why is that?

[@williamdavis8076]

Perhaps its status as a prequel/spinoff has hindered it in that regard, but I’m not sure.

[@jakepayne2985]

@@williamdavis8076 Could be. But you’d think word would’ve gotten around amongst players in the biz that this shit needs to be recognized!!

[@juancavalcanti9613]

1:00 abbey road?

[@williamdavis8076]

I think that is indeed what it is paying homage to!

[@MoistHabibi]

And it wasn’t fucking nominated by the emmys smh robbery!

[@williamdavis8076]

Outrageous!

[@chromiiayt3044]

What a sick joke!

[@Hekai]

Too sad this one is in 720p max

[@toonami1338]

who cares? it's high enough quality too get the point across, if you want to watch it in higher definition go buy or stream the show

[@Hekai]

@@toonami1338 some dark shots look more like Nokia 3d Saul than the serie come on, the compression really doesn't do favor to the show on these ones

[@williamdavis8076]

Yeah sorry about that, I got the footage by screen recording on Netflix and Prime Video so some of the quality got lost in translation.

[@meeeeewe]

sure, Better Call Saul's cinematics were fine, but Morbius' were the true peak
