I know I talked a lot when someone time stamps my video 🤣 thanks for the help!
This is awesome and immense help when I am coming back to this vid for specific parts. I know this must have taken quite a bit of effort thanks!
Thank you so, so much for this. I needed to take notes, and I don’t think I could have done it without you!
Thank you so much❤
That you SO much. This, combined with the stellar video, is so helpful💕
I won't lie, at first I was like..."hmmm 8 minutes tho" but this was really informative. Thank you.
Haha! Thanks a lot :)
This is really cool thanks
Thank you :)
Did you make any films. I’m thinking of doing a horror for fun. Just locally. But then it’s maybe a bit cold. Time for a new coat. Just wondering how many people used this and if they uploaded anything to UA-cam.
@@julieteaston5829 I make movies
this is the most informative video and that is also in just 8 minute...subscribed!!!!
haha, thanks a lot! I'm glad it was useful :)
I'm not even a film student. I just want to watch movies from one's perspective or at least close to one. It feels like I'm missing a lot when I'm absolutely clueless. Thank you for this video!
That's awesome! No problem :)
What’s crazy is that you’ve literally went over everything in 8 minutes, what took my college 4 years to go over 🤦🏿♀️
Haha! I tried to condense everything I learned at college into one video 😀
I agree, well made
What is your major?? Like what is it called?
It's called Creative Media Production but it's not a major. This is before university :)
omg im in my second year and literally just thought about this!
Camera Techniques
Extreme wide shot (establishing shot)
Used at the start of a scene to show the geometry so the audience understands where
everything is
Wide shot
Wide and clear view of everything that’s going on
Mid shot
More up close and personal (from the waist to the head of the subject)
Medium close up
Used to draw the viewer's attention to something
Close up
Used to point out something or someone that's important (usually a face)
Extreme close up
Used to convey emotions (usually eyes)
High angle
Used to make the subject feel small, vulnerable and powerless
Low angle (hero angle)
Used to make the subject feel large and powerful
Over the shoulder
Used when people are talking
180° rule (if you switch persons it should be on the same side)
Lens compression
When you zoom in you compress the space
Pan shot
Used to reveal things that weren’t previously in frame (camera turns in the same spot)
Tilt shot
Pan shot but vertical :)
Crab shot
When you follow someone while walking (horizontally)
Tracking shot
Moving backward or forward tracking a subject
Focus pull
Changing the focal point to decide what the audience looks at.
Editing
Jump cut
Quick / abrupt cut ( usually used in horror movies )
Match on action
Continuing a movement from the same positions in different shots
Slow paced editing
Low amount of shots, creating a calm feeling
Fast speed editing
High amount of shots, creating a fast paced and intense feeling
Colour grading
Manipulate colours to look a certain way or give a certain feel
Transitions
Makes the transitions between shots smoother
Sound
Shotgun mics
Only pick-up sound from the front [ Good quality ]
Condenser mics
Used for voice overs, music recording, etc, you have to be close to it [ Great quality ]
Lavalier mics
Usually used in interviews because they're small [ Average quality ]
Lighting
High Key lighting
A lot of light hitting the subject
Three-point lighting
( 3 lights in the scene )
Key light
Brightest light on subject
Fill light
Less bright light filling in the rest of the subject
Edge / Rim light
Separates subject from background
Low Key lighting
A lot of contrast in the scene because of less lighting
Reflector
Bounces light
Gels
Different gels can be used to make the light softer, coloured, etc
Wow! Thanks for taking the time to break it all down :')
@@AlfieVaughan I was doing it anyways so I
thought, might as well share ahah :)
Thank you
Was gonna write it down from the video but this has made it much easier, thanks.
You're the GOAT for this, thank you.
Learned more in this 8 min video than I did for a semester of my college film class 😂👏🏻
It's amazing how many people have said that! I tried to condense my 2 years of college into it as well. Glad you liked it! :)
$$$$$$ college scam.
This seems fun. If I ever went on the path to become a director, I would use these tips. Right now, I am planning to be a screenwriter.
How is your screenwriting going sir
Ooh yes, please give an update!
I’m getting into acting, we could help each other if you need an actor!
@@acrixedits I’m going into screenwriting/directing, I’d love to have an actor for the future!
keep it going bro 💪📝
Amazing how much you managed to pack into 8 minutes. Great work! Learned a bunch :)
Thanks man, I appreciate it! :)
3 years of my media studies in just 8 mins! Thanks mate :) Very useful
That was the idea! Thanks a lot :)
This was a great synopsis for the basics - the best I've found yet
Also to anyone new, the rule of thirds works every goddamn time, nobody exactly know why but it does, don't question it haha
Thanks! :)
In simple words - this video is Great!
Thank you!! :)
Now this is what I called "the real accurate video" its really 8 mins OwO
No clickbait here! 😉
powerful video you got here man
Thank you! :)
watch in 0.75 speed, he talks pretty fast
Taco Fox hahahaha XD that's not a bad idea!
Hahahahaha I just did
I'm watching at 2x speed
Alfie Vaughan nah, personally, I like it when people talk fast and therefore don‘t waste the viewers time.
Keep it up!
Genius
very helpful, camera angles were particularly interesting
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
Dang.....quick and to the point. Clear examples and easy comprehension. I'm with Alfie
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Extraordinary! So useful and straight to the point. Loved it. Thank you very much
Thanks! :)
Huge help. Quick overview and straight to the point while still being very informal.
Best taught video! Straight to the point with a basic example but yet in depth. Good job. I wish so many other tutorials were like this
Thanks :) I have a few others on lighting and sound!
So awesome. Thank you. Short and sweet, straight to the point. Covered everything in a short period.
Glad you liked it :)
If I had a dollar everytime someone say "Oh you vlog?" when I say I'm going to take filmMaking
Haha, that's a new one! 😂 I've never had that luckily, they wouldn't get a polite response!
Thanks! Maybe I have not watched a lot of videos but this video is the only video I have watched that systematically talks about camera angles and lighting and so on!
Thanks man, going from photography to starting film making so condensed videos like this really help.
No problem! :)
I’ve just started getting my head around premier pro ! Glad I stuck with it” playing about with software is fun ! And this video has a lot of great info, tips and advice 👍🏼
Glad you like it!
Learned a lot, thanks man! 😊
I'm glad! You're welcome :)
The most straight to the point vlog. 🤝🏻
The edge lighting is really cool
This could literally totally change the lives of young filmmakers all over the globe. So many people waste time in a classroom instead of going out and doing. This video sums up what many people would get out of their 4 year film education. Props bro, keep crushing it, take care of yourself.
Thank you very much! You too!
This was worth every minute. I hope you get more videos about each detail like sound or lighting. Anyways, you got a new suscriber
balamstudios thanks! :)
fantastic video! Thank you so much for providing such an excellent overview!!
No problem, thanks a lot!
This is a phenomenal video. Very well done Alfie, thank you.
Thanks a lot!
Really informative. Thanks man :)
It would be awesome if you create a series with more such tips but anyway thank you so much
Thanks a lot! Ok, I'll have a think :)
Nicely done!
Thanks! :)
i dont wanna be a film maker, i want to be an animator. but this gave SO much information since animating and storyboarding has so much filmmaking attributes:))) thank you!! this help me a lot
Great job demonstrating basic lighting techniques. Thanks!
Thank you!
Loved this video. Very informative. Can you please explain what the prople involved in filmmaking exactly do, like directors, cinematographers and their role. That would be very helpful.
Thanks a lot! That's a cool idea. I'll see what I can do :)
Thank you and wow. The comprehensive introduction to film making. Subscribed 🙌🏾❤️
Abhishek Bhovad thanks! :)
Thanks for an updated version of the first one. This really helped helped me out.
No worries mate :D
This actualy help me learn more about film making, thank you for this insighful video only 8 minute.
Ok, So I Am a beginner at UA-cam. This helped a lot! Thank you!
Glad it was useful :)
Thanks 😊
overall great informational video mate! that george lucas reference was very funny haha
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :)
This is awesome, many thanks for posting.
This is pretty much everything you learn about filmmaking in University (a bit less in depth of course). I'm on my second year studying Film and Television and this was a great refresher! Thank you!
Haha yes I tried to condense most of the stuff I learned in college into one video :) glad you liked it!
Great video! Made me realise I really need to work on my lighting more for indoor shots especially. What do u recommend for a relatively cheap starting out lighting equipment?
Thank you! Yeah lighting is something that came later for me as well. You can get the big softbox lights I have pretty cheaply but they're better for even lighting. If it's for cinematic stuff like short films those small LED panels I was using are £25 each (the bigger one is about £110) LEDs are really good and easy to control. If you google some cheap LED panel film lights you'll find loads of options. You can't really go wrong but read the reviews and see what people say :)
cool, I'll check those out, thanks :)
A great video buddy. I really want to know how you made that focus pull shot. at 2.25
Thanks! And there's a tutorial for it on my channel called "After Effects Time Freeze Tutorial" :)
Here's the link :) ua-cam.com/video/koLhPOV5hGI/v-deo.html
Alfie Vaughan cool
Menampalli Raghu you're an Indian and Telugu guy right...
Thank you, I'm a highschool student and I'm trying to figure out if I'm really fit for this career and after watching this I feel like I am. Love you for this.
Thanks!
You made this so straightforward and clear
That's the aim!
Thank you so much Alfie!Although, I really got confused with the side by side image example of lens compression. Foe some reason, despite repeating the part a lot of times, I couldn't understand how the zoom out/zoom in made the distance vary.
But seriously! Thanks a lot! Helped me learn a lot in very less time!
Cheers bruv!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! If you google some other examples it might make more sense. It's not so much that the distance or difference in size of the characters changes. It's more about how the background and the foreground are brought together and seem closer than the wide angle version. Hopefully you'll find something that helps :)
Good
Thanks
Watching this now I’ve been graduated high school and don’t really know what to do for a career but I really want to get into making films, this inspires me to go to film school!
A good, brief intro to some of the basic components of film.
Thanks!
Well. I had a great teacher through my one year highschool mediaproduction class. This just overruled that class in 8 minutes, holy cow. Subscribed!
hahaha! Thanks a lot. In your teacher's defence, I also had a very good media teacher and I just condensed all the main points from my whole 2 years into this video. It's not that the teachers are bad, this is just a more effective delivery method :)
Alfie Vaughan Absolutely! I could not agree more on subject of delivery. He naturally had to be transparent with the methods and unfortunately dumb the infront-of-class teachings down for the vast majority of my classmates that had picked the class for "watching cinemas and chilling". Anywho, the content is dearly appreciated!
I had the same experience. I'm glad you like the video!
Thank you Alfie! I’ve wanted to do film for a career and this helped a lot! One question though, when editing should I use a computer or will my tablet work? And how much over all would all this cost? Thank you.
No problem! You're better off on a computer with proper editing software but you can get apps for editing videos on tablets if that's all you have. What are you asking the cost of? Making a film or the editing setup?
That was a good question thank you for asking
The approximately cost of the gadget used in total
Tablets can range from really cheap, maybe $40, to thousands if they have a screen. Depends which you get!
@@AlfieVaughan I mean other gadgets like cameras,sound device and the as well.what could be the estimated amount
Great video! Very informative for such a short time. Thank you!
Thanks!
Friend, thank you for your content! This video is just a great starting point, nothing superfluous! You're trying very hard and it shows, keep going!
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it 😁
My biggest flaw is the budget. Movies are ridiculously expensive that would drain you.
You can film and edit a feature length video on your phone these days! (Not that I'd necessarily recommend it...) The point is, you can make a movie on any budget. I've never spent any money making any of my videos other than the occasional prop or piece of gear. It's all just creativity!
@@AlfieVaughan Do you reccomend filmschool for beginners?
It can help to meet people and make good connections. But I think all the technical stuff you can learn online for free. So it has pros and cons. Personally I didn't go and I'm in a better position career-wise now than my friends who did
Thank you so much. Please keep doing more videos like this. You’re awesome
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
Great informative video. Now I know what I don't know and can further my education in each topic. Thank you.
Glad you liked the video!
