This voice isn't bad at all but when you're attached, ummm, it just hits different. 🎙thanks guys!!

[@vishaybhatia]

My thoughts exactly 😂

[@JoeMwangi]

A juxtaposition.

[@heshamellaban]

I just took a moment to process the new voiceover guy , waiting for the old one to come back

[@monkeyattackedmyass5435]

Why on Earth would they choose to massively downgrade the voiceover? Easily one of the worst decisions this channel could possibly make. 🤦‍♂

[@ForgottenTasmania]

Pls tell me the other voiceover artist is ok

[@Casual_Henry]

In Titanic too Juxtaposition is used briefly. As ship starts to sink and there's chaos everywhere ( of people getting into lifeboats to save their own lives ), a group of violinists gather to play their music in passion without thinking about their lives. That scene shows chaos but also lets audience embrace that tone of loss and grief. Truly James is a wonderful director.

[@StudioBinder]

Yes! Great example

[@Whimsy3692]

I thought you were going to mention that scene where Jack and Rose are below deck and dancing and swinging around, and then the camera cuts immediately to Cal and his crew, being all stuffy and first-class.

[@ajasilikonreffkmimmon]

Even better! Those event are totally real from the actual incident!

[@hridaymehta4179]

One of the best KZbin channels out there to talk about film concepts through actual films. Legendary content.

[@CarletonTorpin]

14:03 - A literal “match” cut. Masterful.

[@StudioBinder]

[@sophiaisabelle027]

Juxtaposition looks like an intriguing topic to ponder. Somehow it adds more layers of depth to every single film or show you watch. Great video as always. Keep up the good work.

[@TheSAINTWARRIOR]

So happy to have seen Rocky IV's training montage in the video. Always said that Sly doesn't get nearly enough recognition as a writer/director. ♥️🎥

[@StudioBinder]

It was a great scene 💯

[@Maxarcc]

Like my old teacher used to say to students that got stuck during writing or editing: "Meaning arises from contrast. If you can't find the contrast, add a new element to your story. If the contrast is there, look for ways to sharpen the distinction even further."

[@fireboltgaming5134]

Love the videos! They really help me to develop my filmmaking skills!

[@StudioBinder]

[@maikhowthomaz6322]

What a wonderful video as always. Seriously, the people behind the content are amazing! I see the quality here and on instagram too. Congratulations really. I Love how rich it is, with examples, part of the scripts, awesome voice over, it becomes more than a youtube video, it becomes a video class for sure. You guys are doing such an amazing job! I use Studio Binder and the tool is also amazing. What a team, very very good. Thank you!

[@StudioBinder]

Appreciate the feedback!

Hi, your doing well ,each and every video is very essential.Can you discuss about slow motion in films and why some directors like to use it, and some directors doesn't use it on their films.

[@StudioBinder]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@michaelross3241]

Great vid idea, would 100% watch that!

[@ninoydayritvideoworks]

spike jonze is one of which i think of when slow motion in films is concerned. perhaps it is rooted from his early days as skateboard filmer.

[@zunaidparker]

I noticed that Lord of the Rings uses a lot of slow motion / frame stepping (stop motion) to highlight dramatic moments. It definitely feels "old fashioned" watching it back recently. Would be interesting to also talk about the history and prevalence of its usage.

[@balancius8381]

Love the new narrator😊

[@seaque.]

Former voice was iconic, but gotta admit this artist is great too. I got used to him very quickly. Amazing video as always. I did not know about this, appearently it's quite broad object and everywhere in the medium.

[@StudioBinder]

yup the applications are endless!

[@rayancedrichaddad1197]

Very Inspiring. Thank you StudioBinder.

[@StudioBinder]

Cheers!

[@cz941]

Another great example of Juxtaposition can be found in True Detective, season 1, in the scene when Rust and Marty found the kids: The viewer hears what they say to the internal investigators about the circumstances of their rescue, while sees, what really had happend there

[@KathyJeanActress]

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@StudioBinder]

Thanks for watching!

[@parisulki729]

I love the juxtaposition of old and new narrator's voice!

[@StudioBinder]

[@mecogee8565]

Quite educative juxtaposition can be used for various purposes majorly to contrast scenes or moods

@@fracture7 The VO is provided by Paul Gregory.

[@basileldho9846]

You can also consider juxtaposition of settings. Shane Black sets his movies in Christmas times so that he can contrast the happiness of the background with the dark comedy happening in the foreground

[@Yungbeck]

5:50 I think when juxtaposed they actually look increasingly different since they point out the minor differences of the business cards, more than them looking all the same

[@StudioBinder]

They do have discernable differences, but the comedy is in that it's all pointless

Would be great if you keep the movie titles in one single position, instead of having to keep searching. (Even better if it's on the top corners, as the timeline bar and subtitles are always in the way of reading. Just a suggestion.)

[@lloydlim]

Nice video on a key film technique. But…according to my recollection, the baptized baby at the end of “The Godfather” is not Michael’s daughter. He’s agreed to be the baby’s godfather.

[@StudioBinder]

Should've been more clear; by "Michael's child" we were referring to the baby being his godchild.

[@kenssemerand5125]

Great job as always!!🤗

[@StudioBinder]

​@@StudioBinder Then bring him back please. It's not the same without him.

[@automaticmattywhack1470]

*Minor Correction* it wasn't Michael's child being baptized in The Godfather. It was Connie and Carlo's child. Michael was asked to be the godfather thus solidifying his transformation into the GODFATHER.

[@StudioBinder]

Yup, should've been more specific and said godchild

The learning never ends

[@SviraSvi]

@@StudioBinder So true!

[@newbie4789]

In kill Bill, California mountain snake whistles a pleasant, moody and quite funky tune while getting ready to assassinate The bride. The scene immediately sets how much she cares for someone else's life and how comfortable she is in killing someone. Also, the Siren from kill Bill is also used time to time juxtaposed against the soundtrack that sets the mood of the scene... Indicating that the scene is about to explode coz the bride is there. Edit: I swear I wrote this comment before the juxtaposition in the editing part ... Didn't expect the movie to be mentioned afterwards

[@paulphoenix1973]

How do you secure the rights to use the movie scenes for these videos?

[@TheSwordfish009]

14:09 What's this movie with the chick with the shotgun??

[@alexpollock6932]

I like the new voice actor, but calling him the new voice actor make me sad since the old one really made the channel stand apart from every other film analysis channel. I’d love to see him come back if he is indeed gone.

[@bazookajoe99555]

Where is Paul Gregory (the original voice over for StudioBinder)?

[@bazookajoe99555]

BTW, I agree with @Mallagalla Bumbum who said what she did to @StudioBinder. Paul's voice was just iconic, but the new guy did a good job.

To quote Jeff goldblum's character from The Big chill "ever gone a week without a rationalization?" ... I think your statement is hyperbolic and with a bit of reflection, you would agree it is untrue.

[@archive6094]

I honestly think it took me until I was 18 to figure out what juxtaposition was.

[@StudioBinder]

Better late than never

[@ZiegeT01]

So, Juxtaposition is basically "Contrast", but in an expanded way. That's what i understood, but maybe i'm just wrong

[@StudioBinder]

Kind of, but similarities between two elements are part of juxtaposition too

[@ZiegeT01]

@@StudioBinder That's interesting, because in that one scene from American Psycho, when they're comparing cards, what we see is a *lack* of contrast, even when they have certain differences, they're basically th same thing. So, there is *NO* contrast :D I kinda get it now, thanks

[@Rapscallion2871]

I feel like you already made a video about this. Or is it just deja vu?

[@StudioBinder]

Nope, first time

[@loicmiermont8401]

The editorial juxtaposition that really impacted me recently is in the overlooked "The Devils" directed by Ken Russell (unrealesed director cut version). The sadly cut scene of the "rape" of Christ intercut with Grandier's communion is a shining example of powerful cinema, where the meaning of images beats a thousand words. People should be talking about this film a LOT more.

Sounds interesting!
