The Over The Shoulder Shot in Film (and How to Shoot a Dialogue Scene)

[@olegtriers8882]

The narrator of these vids is superb

[@RespecttheScreenplay]

Love his voice!

[@StudioBinder]

@@RespecttheScreenplay We think so too!

[@The_Reviewist]

He reminds me of the narrator from the video game, The Stanley Parable.

[@ajax4887]

Ugh I hated it

[@AdventuresThings]

Graeme Strachan yes thats who I was thinking of.

[@RASFilmsMedia]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard it explained like this! Beautiful breakdown! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 We aspiring film makers & creatives appreciate you more than you know!

[@StudioBinder]

Glad you enjoyed it! What should we cover in a future video?

[@ridhimsihag7608]

how to create a shot list@@StudioBinder

[@chrisklugh]

I love your channel. I'm a student to filming and it always blows my mind the level of detail that goes into movies that most normal people probably miss. Yet, they did not miss it at all, they were engaged with it. Without these details, the movie wont have that cinematic impact that we are accustomed to enjoy.

[@StudioBinder]

Thank you, Chris! Filmmaking is such a beautiful process and learning how to nail all of the details is the icing on the cake!

[@ajitkhad]

I'm shooting for my short film starting today. It would be a week long 6-12 hour shift per day. This one's a life saver. Thanks a lot Studiobinder.

[@johnjohnson3709]

I’m not a film maker and probably never will be but by watching Studio Binder I will see movies I watch in a different way. The education I’m getting is fantastic!! Thank you so much!

[@chrislee343]

Again, very cool video and great analysis! Love the "Black Hole Sun" cover at the end!

[@luizantoniosouza2767]

It's the soundtrack of Westworld. Great series.

[@FelipeRosenvald]

Just beautiful!

[@VezyTube]

I actually shoot good videos just by imagination but still my senior told me to learn commercial mumbo jumbo of film making.. i am so glad i found this channel ❤️

[@PranavShinde]

I feel the internet is Short of OTS explanation videos, which is one of the majority of shots used in a film. This video was great, make more videos about OTS, like OTS with 2 or more people, within a group, with relation to objects, etc. That would be really helpful. Cheers!

[@zakariaabed3593]

One of the best channel in filmmaking stuff and tutos.thnks a lot bro for your work dor teaching us new things!

[@13TeK11]

this is one of my fav videos on the internet..PERIOD

[@plevalnatebya]

Wonderful explanation as called “8” plan. So simple and so deep meaning of this trick. I’m very grateful to you giving me a good lessons of moviemaking. Of course it is an ABC, but for it some institutes wasting half part of semester. Here within 6,5 minutes I’ve gotten all I wanted about this subject! Bravo!

[@pamelalepdung2867]

The narrator is so good, I enjoyed every bit of it. Very simple yet informative video. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@PhilippChromy]

Very well analyzed! Good example!

[@StudioBinder]

Glad you enjoyed it! What was the biggest takeaway for you?

[@PhilippChromy]

@@StudioBinder I never looked at a OTS - Shot so closely. I love these shot - analysis, because therefore I can learn how to play with the viewers subconscious. Your videos are also very well structured and overseeable! Am I allowed to ask, what sources of research you use for these types of videos?

[@StudioBinder]

@@PhilippChromy Our team does a lot of research and analysis on the filmmakers. Another great OTS shot is from The Social Network (when Zuckerberg breaks up with his girlfriend). It's a masterclass in filmmaking.

[@PhilippChromy]

@@StudioBinder Thanks for the info! 👍🏼

[@abeeeshen3852]

Always coming back to these videos for reference. I appreciate y'all!

[@mrparker4411]

Studiobinder is God Gifted For Every Upcoming Outside Filmmakers.... Thank you share for this valuable knowledge, keep making more 💖🙏

[@newedenfilms]

[@StudioBinder]

Thanks, Matt. Spread the word!

[@theusorelha]

Despite I already know the subject the video are talking about I always learn something new with the short videos from this chanel!

[@marvelfoxmorty5057]

Another day another great episode

[@StudioBinder]

Glad we made your Monday even better!

[@germanevision]

At last someone goes beyond the rule of third and three point lighting in filmmaking. Thank you.

[@TheRonellCross]

This voice over is the business. I could listen to this narrator talk about anything. haha!

[@RespecttheScreenplay]

I love this page!!!!

[@StudioBinder]

Thanks for the sub -- what should we cover in a future video?

[@sannansaleh_]

this channel is the first time i’ve actually clicked the bell icon on a video

[@OutfittersOfArt]

The opening shot of Godfather. The camera dolly back as Corleone gets less and less interested in Bonasera's story, and stops as Bonasera has completely lost Corleone's respect.

[@paulgreengod]

Bonaserasara

[@ejlealbornoz]

He aprendido muchísimo con sus vídeos y lecciones Studio Binder. Gracias !!!

[@thebusinessfirm9862]

Magnificent voiceover. Great video. Thanks mate.

[@samsonaghaye-dudu2953]

This is fantastic explanation of OTS

[@MrTabot]

Am just about commencing my short film soon this is a superb heads-up. Thanks

[@ahmedswidan1358]

Who are the two people who dislike such a wonderful video?

[@MMerajHossain]

I've just had goosebumps watching this.

[@StudioBinder]

Good goosebumps, we hope!😁

[@theatifaks]

Love the video. Great work.

[@themeditationproject1141]

This was soooooo helpful. Thanks guys

[@123ehdrmfl]

Pure goldmine of inspirations. Thanks.

[@moes_film]

Blackhole Sun on piano. Lovely.

[@babatundeagunloye3721]

This is so helpful. Now I am learning the how of film making. I will be able to explain my shot decisions now Excellent.

[@maxinetv2276]

This was sooooo insightful!

[@blackbird8837]

The Westworld scene blew my mind when I watched the episode back then. What a masterpiece. And man... A.H. is the most suitable actor for this role.

[@StudioBinder]

Right!?!?! I was glued to the screen!

[@Syndrome2012]

I feel like a lot of this is getting the coverage, and the the editor working his magic too!

[@stephenfoster5064]

This was really really helpful and I wish that I took my time with my 1st movie

[@darsh_kannada_cinema]

Thank you studio binder!! It helps lott for tommrow filmmakers OTS🧡

[@srilankarelaxation5889]

Thank you very much! This really helped me a lot for my new short film

[@jeffvirkus]

Very insightful, succinct, and to the point with a marvelous example from great TV. Subscribed and look forward to more great lessons.

[@MyJeanf]

Excellent explanation of the OTS

[@rosendude]

Thank you! This is the first "why" video I've gotten as opposed to the cliche, do whatever you want cuz it's film

[@StudioBinder]

Glad to hear we offered a fresh perspective!

[@dsoprano13]

That conversation was great filmmaking for many other reasons. It was masterful acting by Anthony Hopkins.

[@willcrespo24]

Super cool!!

[@morphinternal]

awesome case study...plz do more of case study examples....

[@montrealfilmguy]

Mind blown. I know quite a lot about filmmaking but this i did not. Absolutely fascinating

[@TheJoStephan]

Honestly i sometimes watch these videos just to listen to this Narrator’s voice. So silky smooth and captivating!

[@theampedlife]

This was great thanks, really informative and enjoyable.

[@vamsibhargavreddy]

Thank you very much for the video! So understandable and easy. Teach us, rookies more of these basic techniques!😍

[@ankitdarwhekar2258]

very very helpful, thanks buddy....keep it up

[@damepieper2163]

This is crazy, would have never known. Thanks for the info

[@bluebaconjake405]

Great vid as always

[@StudioBinder]

Glad you enjoyed it, what was the biggest takeaway for you?

[@bluebaconjake405]

StudioBinder honestly... its such a good video i cant decide :D but i really like the part when you explain how OTS can connect characters. It’s so obvious but never realized how much it affects the conversation

[@a.p.productioninstitutepal5604]

Very good explain

[@Charlot1914]

Really cool!!

[@jasmineyonin1753]

Thank you!

[@AtharvSharmaji69]

Great video

[@adershddon]

Really useful tips 💯

[@StudioBinder]

Glad you enjoyed it! What was the biggest takeaway for you?

[@adershddon]

StudioBinder that dolly zoom in really conveys that feel to me... Gonna use that in my next project ❤️😊

[@onuohaudochukwu6180]

I have learnt something new.

[@kamishimoproductions5096]

This is really nice.

[@filodoxiafilm7253]

Question: must two cameras be used for a smooth OTS, and how are they angled so that they are not visible in each others frames? I appreciate it. Great Video, StudioBinder!

[@Rupakmallick1991]

Is it possible for you to give us some more examples such as this.

[@sunnyveerpratapsingh1102]

The narrator 👍🏻🙏 and studio binder my film school

[@therockgaming2161]

This voice is cool for my movie promotion.

[@joshdiditt]

Great info.

[@davidgray2805]

Very good!

[@nanisampath9998]

Thabkq....so much for your explaining

[@StudioBinder]

Definitely, what was the biggest takeaway for you?

[@kirankatta7788]

Best example of ots uses in the film of inglorious blasters by Tarantino

[@life360tamizh8]

Thank you sir so use full...

[@tigereyesfilms]

This was such a good analysis! During the scene when Ford is delivering a line, it cuts to Theresa and Ford is still speaking and then back to Ford I want to know how that’s filmed, did they do a dolly of Ford all the way as he says the line or do they keep the mic over Ford and switch the camera to a shot of Theresa? It would be really cool if you guys did an analysis of costumes and how the colors of the costumes impact the characters!

[@upanddown7822]

whar kind of music did you use? i want to learn!

[@ReeceHalford]

What was the lens they used for this scene?

[@renatozanardo9648]

Fine! I'd like to watch tutorials about eyeline and how to film them

[@fredessienjr9620]

What happens when reflections are involved , for instance two people in window. Thanks 🙌

[@nandanrainbow]

What lens they used to shoot this over the shoulder shots?

[@-joedal-]

I know the song from the piano melody at the end but cant get my mind back on the Band and the title. Please Help! +Marvelous analyses of ots shots. Jonathan Nolan is the writer here not the Director I guess. Did he master the screenplay too?

[@jakfearon2945]

Soundgarden: Black Hole Sun

[@StudioBinder]

@@jakfearon2945 It's the jam!

[@gfxfilms2012]

Beautiful

[@jaygirish3192]

The conversation between Joker and Batman in the interrogation room from The Dark Knight Rises is my favourite OTS scene #StudioBinder

[@andreyandonov]

I think it was MS not MCU from the example scene:) However, your videos are superb!

[@mahesh-ve2bp]

👏👏👏👏 super

[@rachmadaditya6424]

i hope u have a subtitle bro, so i can understand it well😊

[@gotmatatadiaries7910]

If I may so ask when making an OTS shot is it mandatory to havepre than one camera

[@bailliebraund498]

What is the film that is used at 0:43 ?

[@manuellumbantobing2631]

What is the title of the score in 1:00?

[@Mrim86]

Loving videos like this, but I always wonder how much is academic vs. truly subconscious & practical. Deacons often restrics himself to wide lenses, making it a necessity to place the camera between subjects when shooting a CU or MCU. Cleans shots are also safer and better for editors, possibly allowing for better moments of comedy. But nevertheless, a great theory and definitely worth exploring!

[@saravanakumar3887]

Thank you...

[@ivikas_roy]

My favorite ots shot would be from Heat. The famous restaurant scene

[@anuvindat8419]

1:13 music?

[@Evapors]

film student here in North Carolina. Thanks. #FULLSAIL

[@j1d2o3t]

What's the name of the soundtrack playing in the first 44 seconds of this video?

[@knowtheself77]

Good 👍

[@StudioBinder]

Glad you enjoyed today's video!

[@andrzejcottonee7553]

Which episode is this?

[@samuelbillman8663]

What if I have a sideways view with the two characters completely in frame? Would that still work?
