[@00KV]

Always your video is the best Greetings from Iraq 🇮🇶 🎉🎉🎉

[@Leprutz]

Wasn't this called basic shots 101 in film schools or so?

[@Rays_Bad_Decisions]

Thank you Sober Bert Kreischer😂😂

[@DaBadNewz]

2x Establishing shots (0:57) 2x Wide shots (1:21) 2x Medium shots (1:38) 2x Close up shots (1:52) 1x Unique perspective (2:07) Thanks for this video, great info! Gonna be interesting incorporating this into the car audio content I create

[@AFuller2020]

thankyou, this channel has become very wordy.

[@CaptainReynolds-flyinspace]

Thanks) We have not many time now days))

[@cre8tivity06]

I’ve been shooting TV News and other content for almost 30 years now and I shoot to edit meaning as an Editor I know the shots I will need to edit a sequence. There are a lot of camera ops that don’t edit and I you can tell when you look at their work. Once you start editing and editing on a regular basis, you will know what shots you will need. The unique perspective is one I am always using in my work in some way or fashion.

[@memcrew1]

Funny how editing makes you more efficient in your shooting.

[@johntnguyen1976]

As Michael Bay likes to say..."shoot for the edit". Brings him in on budget pretty much every time.

[@GFODT562]

Good stuff brotha

[@ShowLocalTV]

Shoot for the edit... Editing is like cooking... You got to know what you want to put at what time... So you need to get all the ingredients you need to cook the best...

[@jonathandempsey1172]

Solid advice. A phrase my dad taught me that applies across many areas of life…. “It’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.”

[@adventurewithbernie]

Boom! 👌

[@cashmoney5618]

That couldn't have been said any better 👍

[@Leprutz]

Not bad. Not bad.

[@gracerx]

What's really nice about this/these that you can watch something and start calling it out. I was watching a scene from Equalizer 3 and started calling out to myself: Establishing, wide, medium, close up, unique, medium, medium, close up, wide. It really helps cement the concepts. Thanks for sharing!

[@IndependenceOverland]

I need to hammer this into my brain. Some days on my trips I’m really good about it, other days I fall off. Hoping to do better this year with this kind of stuff!

[@DB_Roams]

You do a pretty spectacular job in my opinion. Looking forward to the new build 💪

[@JevenDovey]

It’s a good set of shots to default to when you don’t feel inspired or you’re feeling rushed. Takes a weight off my shoulders when I need it. Also looking forward to the new build… my truck went into the shop yesterday and my new build is in progress. I see a collab/trip in the future 👀

[@IndependenceOverland]

@@DB_Roams Thanks man, I really appreciate that it means a lot man! 🙏

[@IndependenceOverland]

Yes sir! Realistically my truck wont be here until May at the earliest, they hybrids are taking a while. It will be fully ready for some adventure films by summers end though! Lets do it! @@JevenDovey

[@Imdeepakmp]

Thank you Jeven for educating us.. your videos are so much of a learning for somebody who liked film making but ended up being something else in life.

[@DanJammess]

Jeven this is genuinley one of the best videos about filmmaking I have ever seen. Just brilliant

[@fcoker73]

Love this rule!!! A great way to have in your workflow. Ive seen videos that explain the different view of taken shots but the way you explain it makes A LOT MORE SENSE!! THANKS MAN!!!

[@JevenDovey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wildzenventures]

I always appreciate your how to videos. Easy and clear to understand and helpful. Thank you! Cheers

[@Martindhoang]

Thank you Jeven! So much value here. I always knew it's important to film an establishing, wide, medium, close-up shot. But this makes it easier to understand and follow!

[@calebramey]

This has been the most useful video about filmmaking I have ever watched. Thank you.

[@RexTyrano]

Your videos have been so incredibly helpful for my videography journey and I can’t thank you enough I’ve been subscribed ever since your first upload and I haven’t regretted it one bit

[@rodrigo-do-carmo]

This is great! Thank you for making it simple for us, keep up the awesome work

[@TwoWheelsLangley]

This was one of the more helpful videos I have watched so far from multiple creators.

[@pdivakar6847]

Thank you so much for this valuable information sir ❤

[@lindacreighton4439]

Fantastic information and great explanation! Thank you 👍🏻

[@lavinchi6709]

Thank you🎉great tutorial

[@TheCreateOutdoors]

Thanks for this Jeven! I'm going to be doing more outdoor adventure content this year and this will help me a lot!

[@thejaideeparora]

Love this Jeven! Something to remember when we feel clueless or just blank about which shots to take. I also liked the outro and the way you asked for subscribe without breaking the flow of the video. Very smart!!

[@iolanisjourney4828]

Thank you for this, very helpful!

[@tooflessmusic]

This is soooo helpful. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@mejiavincee]

Thank you for the simple breakdown

[@EliMandarin]

Thank you so much Jeven! I loveeeeee your idea of 9 shots! That’s brilliant!❤

[@toddgravenphoto]

I have an idea for a short film(my first one) and feel like I'm going to start shooting soon. This 9 shot rule has my juices flowing. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Awesome, thank you 💪👊

[@exposedpaths]

This was good advice! It's too easy to forget capturing enough footage when hiking solo, maybe in difficult conditions or when I'm dead tired (which is usually how I end up on my hikes 😂) I end up with footage with interesting or cinematic subjects but not enough footage to give context. Making a mental checklist like this makes it a sort of automation. I'm going to try it on my next hike...

[@MotoMission.]

I’m always learning from you on how to make my channel better. Truly thankful

[@motionwingsmedia]

Another awesome video! Thank you!

[@iSpike]

Absolutely fantastic Jeven the man that keeps on giving you’re very good at this and it’s great to watch you grow over the past four years I’ve been following you. I’d like to add that your studio is looking really good. Keep them coming mate. Cheers from Western Australia.

[@kevz_c]

Great pieces of advice here. Thanks you!

[@MH-ir7ep]

Much appreciated. Very creative and insightful suggestions. Thank you.

[@sandraking856]

Jeven, another masterpiece from you explained concisely and brilliantly! I am a huge fan of your work and your commitment to teaching your viewers, keep it up! Thank you. 😀

[@mat-ventures]

Thanks Jeven for the tips!

[@FieldGuidetoDIY]

Incredibly helpful video. I’ve been looking for this very information and BAM! here it is. My mind is rushing on how to use this rule in my DIY videos to make them more interesting. Thank you!

[@cashtraveler]

Thank you, these 9 shot rule are very helpful. Really help me to put all the video to become a proper story

[@Vinogoy]

2x Establishing shots ( 0:57 ) - showing the scene where you're at. 2x Wide shots ( 1:21 ) - wide shot showing the subject from head to toe and what the subject does. 2x Medium shots ( 1:38 ) - showing whatever the subject is doing; a little bit tighter than a wide shot. 2x Close up shots ( 1:52 ) - showcasing "something" to fill the frame. 1x Unique perspective shot ( 2:07 ) Thanks for this idea! I will incorporate these techniques to my narrative video story telling ❤

[@eddieftw]

Thank you so much. It was a great lesson for me as a beginner.

[@finderskeepersmetaldetecting]

I have needed a video like this all year

[@janieisbored]

Great tips here, definitely going to use these whenever I go somewhere and don’t know what to shoot. Thanks!

[@Shipspotting_Vietnam]

Great, Man! Thanks for sharing!

[@MikeBabsBC]

Dude, been doing video for years and this is a game changer for me! Thank you so much for this! I knew it was a good idea subscribing to your channel!

[@DrunkPhotography]

This is good, I’ve been learning a lot here. I was doing this without knowing. Bigger to smaller shots is what I’ve been doing in a conical format to end up drilled in or unique. Glad to see I was on the right path!

[@PratimaShri]

Thank you this is super helpful and I need to remember this while shooting anything

[@enigmawstudios4130]

Genius method!

[@ManishPt-IN]

Very useful..Thankyou

[@chorei1663]

Thanks for laying out this formula. I make travel videos/vlogs of my family trips as a hobby and it's always a bit disappointing when I find that I don't have a good amount of shots to set the scene. Sometimes I only have 2-3 shots that aren't long enough to make a nice musical sequence or even no shots. Just left with one linear boring sequence of events. That works if I'm just doing a simple log of the day, but the creative in me is wanting to have some fun editing and making cool videos. I just didn't know what else I needed so this will be very helpful.

[@bringthewonder]

Helpful vid, tnx much

[@lavinchi6709]

Thank you👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@GabrielNg]

Quality 🔥

[@tododooddod1429]

[@rgarlinyc]

Very helpful - thanks for explaining things so well too! Its the 9-Shot rule for me from now on.

[@brianb6603]

Excellent as usual!!!

[@dcmibiz]

Great advice. Really cool.

[@whiskyandsynths]

Thanks Jeven! Back after a while away and looking forward to getting into more videography!!!

[@storybabble]

Nice. Thanks.

[@_kevinwm]

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great tips Jeven, thanks for sharing.

[@JevenDovey]

My pleasure!

[@Bekahandjoel]

Thanks so much for this!! Such a simple succinct way to think about catching all the shots.

[@JevenDovey]

My pleasure!

[@adventuresofjandk]

Great stuff

[@challengedollar2880]

first time here, good stuff Jeven.

[@heypressgo5403]

I guess I could practice just doing nine shots a day for 30 days and stitching them to learn the habit. Very cool idea

[@photorectoby]

Rocking the Ombraz sunglasses. Nice. Best sunglasses on Earth and for the Earth!

[@delmarandolph4741]

I love this video!!! Thank you, I really like your content. It is amazing!!!😍💚🧡💜

[@JevenDovey]

Thank you so much!!

[@ChristopherCanada]

Fantastic advice 🔥

[@JevenDovey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Dave_and_Mylenes_Travels]

These types of videos are awesome. I just looked up your original version of this video. Keep up this type of content!🎉

[@JevenDovey]

Glad you like them!

[@Mpumzar]

Totally subscribing here. I want to improve my skills and today il be taking some shorts

[@michaelpoczynek]

Thanks, Jeven. Sent here from a video that Jake Sloan made. Cheers!

[@barryobrien1890]

Great workflow tips.. For longer videos, do you just add another 9 shots

[@sandeepmates]

great

[@1mAmedia]

Congrats on hitting 1m subs!!!!!!!!!

[@adventurewithbernie]

I like it!

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Great video thanks. as a solo shooter for hiking videos and vanlife I get stuck and its tiring especially when nobody watches your hard work, but you have inspired me ty. Do you do 9 shots for every part of your films? 9.. driving to location.. 9 getting out of van and setting up.. 9 talking about where you are.. 9 on the trail?

[@BrettGilmour]

Good video on planning shots using a system. Next can you talk about composition and that chair and weird tube light destroying your shot?

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Well done thanks for breaking this down. Do you have a video going over how to creat pattern interruption clips / shots 🤔 I've seen a South Korean film called Carter. They have a number of especially something like punching through a vehicle to see the inside. I hope that makes sense 😕 😊

[@Uncardo]

dude never fails

[@nobis64]

Jeven, Awesome content as usual! You must be videoing or editing 18 hours a day, 7 days a week! I don't know how you do it!

[@johangagelmans]

Does this formula work for a business video also?

[@JustinBradleyPhotographer]

Hey I'm famous @1:30 🤣 I never get tired of seeing myself popping up in any of your videos.

[@gooddayswithmohanbilaye]

Good👍

[@WebworxAgency]

Does this rule apply to real estate videos too? I often get overwhelmed at shoots when trying to figure out what angles to cover. Having a systematic approach like this would help

[@AJDonnelly]

Very informative! Quick question, is angle, perspective and shot size all the same thing? I notice you and other creators seem to use these three words interchangeable, so I'm wondering if professionally, they do all mean basically the same thing?

[@AirbnbAutomated]

Value hit hard and fast on this video.

[@AirbnbAutomated]

How’s the retention after the 3:00 mark with being so front loaded in value?

[@JevenDovey]

It drops but doesn’t matter. Overall the video is performing higher than usual and continues to get boosted by the algorithm which shows retention isn’t everything.

[@MikeOxolong]

anyone know the font at the start?

[@travelswithted673]

Thank you, is the final video on here please? I was wondering how you would connect the different b-roll in to your a-roll. Thank you Jeven

[@JevenDovey]

Yes here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iITRhmuKr6-AmJosi=f1FEWqMrXp1LGuXZ

[@scottwithers7026]

You're one of the few people focussing on these concepts and in such a helpful clear way. Thanks a lot!

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

9 Shot Rule, great tip! Appreciate all the examples as well. For the straight down hiking shots (which I also need for my hiking videos), did you attach the camera to a Peak Design Capture Clip and record? Or did you just hold the camera out a bit away from you?

[@JevenDovey]

I just hold the camera for that top down shot

[@TimDurkan]

love your work JD, this one included. Off topic, but can you tell me if you used the AI or some other enhanced audio effect on your voice over? I've tried it myself on a few shorts (using Adobe PP) and am noticing it more in other's work...thanks in advance.

[@JevenDovey]

I use Auphonic for my VO
