    It's so neat to actually get a window into the psychology of shots. I've found myself switching between these, instinctively, based off references from movies I've enjoyed, so, this was a really cool explanation of why some shots should be used over others.

      Look at Aputure (lighting/DP pov), Indy Mogul (lighting/camop/DP pov) and This Guy Edits (editing/story). You can have a combination of all aspects of film making from online learning. Something REQUIRED to tackle if you want to be a successful director (not my aim).
      I am trying to find more "camop" channel of this calibre that teaches the way to use the camera better. Studiobinder is kind of halfway there but they are more so about the story, directing aspect and conveying emotions.

    This channel is an Encyclopedia of applied knowledge on film making to simply appreciating the medium of Cinema.
    I believe, cinema being the latest form of Art, the language of cinema gives an artist the best circumstances expressing his creativity. It has the most potential for experimentation still left to explore. And to do that, this channel acts like a treasure trove for learning the basics of film making and looking at things from different perspective.
    I was reading Hitchcock/Truffaut, and from there I read about his use of long takes in the movie Rope. To further extend my knowledge I landed on this channel. Since then, I've been watching one after another video while taking notes.
    I do dream of making a film one day and I make films in my dreams....
    Thank you so much for enriching that dream.

    Establishing shot : Contextes toutes scènes, et transitions entre scènes. Crucial
    Master shot : Confirme géographie et contexte scène (les persos etc). Capture la scène dans son entièreté
    Wide shot (WS) : Loin de caméra pour représenter visuellement la relation dans l'environnement, (taille des persos etc)
    Full shot (FS) : Tete aux pieds, montrer un personnage dans toute sa gloire, montrer son état physique
    Medium full shot (FS)/Cowboy : Tete à bassin, montrer un personnage confiant, dominant ou dans une confrontation
    Medium shot (MS) : Neutre, (Tete à torso) montrer scènes sans trop perdre l'environnement
    Medium close-up shot (MCU) : Tete à haut du torse, réduire les distractions pour focus sur les persos et l'histoire
    Close-up shot (CU) : Eye level voir ce que les persos ressentent, empathie, drama, décisions
    Extreme close-up shot (ECU) : Emotions fortes notamment les yeux, ou pour isoler quelque chose de crucial dans l'histoire. Super important pour souligner l'importance de la scène et la plus dramatique/intime
