Another tip for the “leading room” thing: if you want to make an uneasy feeling like something is following or about to attack your subject, you can give them a bunch of follow room/ space behind them🤘🏻

That's where the creativity comes in!
Notes for myself
1. Rule of thirds. Center thirds are reserved for authoritative figures. For landscapes/horizons, place subject on either horizontal line.
2. Balance. Characters and objects add weight to the image. Balance the other half of your frame without your subject with a background object like a lamp.
3. Depth. *aperture*. Separate subject from background/foreground.
4. Leading lines. Have lines built into the environment like handrails or wall designs or wood planks to guide the eye.
5. Symmetry. Can be fused with leading lines.
6. Dominant Subject. Audience needs to know what the main subject is. Fill dead space with nondistracting stuff (combine with leading lines/depth).
7. Head room/Leading room. Head room is space between top of frame and top of subject's head (in an interview, eyes are about 2/3rds up). Leading room is the space between their eyes and the frame wall that's in the direction they're looking at (also about 2/3rds of space). You want more room in front of subject instead of behind. Many scenes are shot so that subject's eyes are at the top left/right cross of the rule of thirds. (11:22). If subject is moving, camera should move with them.
8. Break the rules for story reasons. Give more head room to make subject feel insignificant. No looking room to feel awkward. Show char development by implementing rules later.
TYSM for the video!!

Thanks for the timestamp
Thanks for that
Thanks man

I love that you mention that rules can be broken. But with the condition that one knows the rules first.
His main point was - Break the rules not just because you know the rules but break them when you really have a strong reason to break them.
"'It's artistic!' No, it's not, it's distracting'" - I'm totally stealing that! LMAO
Excellent you've just made not listening for two years of film classes worth it in just under 16 minutes. FANTASTIC WORK HAHAH

Didn't expect to see BrodieTV commenting on a filmmaking video haha. Love you man and can't wait to see more videos from you!
sheeshhh wtfff brodie doin here!! post a video u bech
Best education is hands on! And this video was a strong #2!
Why would you bother?
I know this might seem obvious but i realised that when the video cuts to him talking the part has all the tips used. He puts himself in the center to show authority, then he balances the frame by adding a plant and a laptop, in the background the lines in the wood guides the viewers to him and the camera focuses on him by lowering the aperture. Speaking of backgrounds he also distances himself from the background. He also leaves some space but not too big of a space on top of his head like he suggested. He also placed himself to align with the corner achieving symmetry while also not leaving vacant too much space
I'm a teacher but now, I realized I am still a student. Keep making videos for us. Thank you.
I’m not a film director, but that was very interesting and informative.
Beautiful
Amazing
😅
Maybe its time to start filming
I wasn't a filmmaker before I saw this. Now I'm ready for hollywood😅
Absolutely incredible! I'm not a filmmaker, but I'm trying to write a novel about an amateur filmmaker.
I can finally write dialogues about them geeking on cinema. Thank you.
The amount of knowledge in these videos are astonishing I can’t believe you guys are giving this to us free of charge I can’t wait to put it into motion! I can only imagine what’s included in the actual class!
You were paid
Guy who paid $800 one day before it became $97: Hey...!
Imagine being one of those guys who bought it before this video came out. Ouch..
@@horizoniki It's worth it? Despite the price
@@Funkenstein768 of course it is!
Guess who? Noone.
😂😂😂
This is the best and more comprehensive explanation of cinematic frame composition I've even watched. Thank you so much!
I must say I appreciate very much your use of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty at the end. The compositions in that film were so forceful i felt it in my soul when i watched it. It was the perfect match of shot composition and soundtrack choice that made that film so atmospheric i felt like I was experiencing it long with him.
This makes so much more sense than all other explanations of the rule of 3rds i've seen.
They always talk about "put subjects inside the boxes", but that never "felt" right.
What you guys are talking about here, putting subjects on the LINES or intersections, makes much more sense.
I love that you used The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It's one of my favorite films ever and I hate that it got panned so hard by critics. Such a beautifully composed film.
right! my media teacher showed me this movie, so it must mean something.. 💀
Best video I've watched on youtube about cinematography. The examples helped SO much. My first time actually understanding the rule of thirds and how to/not to use it.
THIS is what we need rather than just showing cinematic scenes. THANK YOU for logically breaking down hollywood scenes!
The best composition breakdown I've ever seen.
I love this video because he explains why we shouldn’t do this and then he shows examples and it makes sense to me.
Visual learner here lol
Excactly like me, this kind of explaining things is awesome...
It's really sad that many videos trying to teach these things are failing to demostrate visual things even though the content is distributed via video service.
I think the tip around 7:50 is the most important. If you're not sure if the composition is great, try moving the camera around 10 cm to any direction and see what happens to the background and foreground of your composition. It's claimed that Ansel Adams said that moving the camera one inch makes all the difference.
Also remember to check that posts and handrails do not appear as if growing out of the human subject's ear, unless that's the feeling you're actually looking for.
This is not only Cinamatic , also aesthetic 🎨
I loved rule 4 and 8. So much value in one video!
I appreciate how you review all prior steps before moving onto another one. It puts it all together nicely in my brain
This video alone has lead me to purchase your course. It has so much information that I never even thought about looking into. I had heard about rule of thirds but never knew how to put it into practice. This is amazing.
This is great, thank you! God bless you and your team.
It's funny how when I watch this, an ad comes up about the filming course that you were talking about.
yup
Use Adblock!!!!
Justice and crew, just wanted to express an immense amount of gratitude I have for you guys channel. I’ve learned so much in such a short amount of time it’s truly incredible. Thank you and I hope this blesses you !!
Best tutorial among the sea of average joe tutorials... very honest, very clear and to the point, very informative and educative.
The " break the rule" example was so perfect ❤🙌 really helpled alot . Great video
My notes from this video. Feel free to copy.
The purpose of composition is to direct our audience’s attention to where we want them to look in the most visually pleasing way.
1. Rule of Thirds:
1. Our eyes are drawn to the intersecting points of the ROT grid.
2. Place horizon lines etc on the lines.
3. The Center of the frame is for subjects of authority. Conveys power, authority, makes it obvious who to pay attention to.
2. Balance:
1. The audience will feel if one side is much heavier than the other.
2. Balance out the scene by having something on the other side from the subject.
3. Depth:
1. Use a lower aperture to separate the subject from the background
2. Bring subject as far away from the background as possible
3. You can also place something in the foreground. This also enhances movement.
4. Leading Lines:
1. Point lines to your subject to bring attention to them/it.
2. Can show the audience where their eyes and/or the character needs to go
5. Symmetry:
1. Prefer to frame a shot symmetrically.
2. Look around to find symmetry. This can be achieved by just moving the camera a bit.
6. Dominant Subject:
1. Make sure your frame has a prominent subject so your audience knows exactly what to look at.
2. Fill the Frame. Unnecessary empty space is distracting.
3. Make sure the frame is not filled with distractions. Bright light or movement can be distracting.
7. Head Room / Leading Room:
1. The subject’s eyes should be about 2/3 from the bottom.
2. Position the subject 1/3 from one side and have them look into the other side (looking into the empty space)
3. If a subject is moving, have more room in front of them.
8. Break the Rules:
1. Each rule communicates something. So break the rules only to communicate something specific. Have a REASON for breaking them.
2. For example, break rule 7 to convey awkwardness
🥰
I always said to my photography students that in order to break the rules you need to know and understand them first. I see i'm not the only one!! I am retired now from photography, but i am learning video and this series of videos is amazing!
Wow, this was so helpful to me starting out. May God bless you guys!
thanks for putting this together, nice breakdown
Seeing all those scenes with your narration has blown my mind. I’m fairly new to cinematography and seeing the leading lines makes so much sense. Even the symmetry of the guy with the building in the background - They just look right.
I need to rewatch the kings speech now.
I’ve seen so many of these videos but never one that is so concise and visual. You sold me on your course
You did a great job with the space of 16mins, thanks alot.
How is all this free 😱 Thank you so much!! Perfect breakdown of every step!
How easily you made all of us understood!
Unbelievable!
Thanks a lot.
It is always refreshing to find a channel that delivers good content without the over-hype. I have been involved in film making for a long time and these tips are not only sound, but perfectly pitched to anyone wishing to learn the magic art. Good luck to you guys
Perfectly explained the basics of composition. Thank GOD you told everybody to break the rules! Thats very, very important. But to break the rules for a reason!
Wow!! A lot to learn but made simple. Thanks for clear and concise information. Thank you for creating.
Hello Sir!. I'm a local Photographer/film maker here from Philippines, and thank you so much for this video, it so very helpful and useful. I've learn a lot in just 15:42 min..Wow amazing. God bless. now I really want to start making more videos to my UA-cam channel..Thank You Sir
Brother you are good teacher I just recently signed up with 14 day film ….listing to you and watching your demonstration is awesome.I feel like i just learned
Brilliant. Everybody talks about the cinematic effect, but few people explain what it really means and how to achieve it. This stuff all makes sense. Subscription earned, sir. Thank you.
Those are some great leading lines in the cedar panels pointing towards you.
Your lessons, and delivery methods are just what I need. A couple of years ago I wrote and published my first novel. One of the very first reactions included someone telling me they can see this story on film. I thought the idea was crazy. So I wrote a script, entered it in two competitions, received favorable reviews. Both competitions gave it a "B" to a "B-plus" grade. All I know about cameras is in my cell phone. Yesterday, in a pawn shop, I found what became my first video camera; a Panasonic 4k dvx200. It looks brand new. Spotless, and with a big bag of camera stuff! I not sure what some of that stuff is for. Only after paying $1800 bucks for it, which is a hell of a lot of saved up money for me, did I discover what these things really cost. Even the wife felt much better. Needless to say, I'm on my way to who knows where. Now I also have a cinematographer with differences between us. That's okay because I am going to extract every bit of info out of him until he quits. He told me one day that I don't know what I'm doing. I replied that I do, but I just don't know if what I'm doing is right. Someone else said I can't make a film. I said, "There is only one way to find out." He's not a good teacher, but you are, and I'm grateful. In a few years you may find
Soothing The Savage Beat. Thanks again for what you do.
Good luck on your path
You just changed people's lifes with your master piece filmmaking generous teaching.
Thank you so, much.
This was extremely helpful for me because I’m diving into cinematography, and it just explained these methods thoroughly to really have that type of impact
1. POSICIÓN: Poner el protagonista del plano en alguno de los 4 puntos resaltados en 2:11, porque esos son los puntos en los que más nos fijamos. Si quieres darle poder o autoridad al protagonista ponerlo en el medio 2:25. Si el prota mira a la cámara ponerlo en el medio, si no en uno de los lados. Las cámaras vienen con estas plantillas normalmente.
2. BALANCE: Buscar un equilibrio de información entre la mitad izquierda y derecha de la pantalla, no saturar una parte y dejar vacía la otra (3:40), equilibrarlo como en 3:57, no importa la altura, solo equilibrar por lados.
3. PROFUNDIDAD: Dejar un poco borroso el fondo para dar profundidad y no distraer al público (4:45). También grabarte lo más lejos posible del fondo, como en 5:25
4. LINEAS GUÍA: Sacar líneas, pues le dan la atención al prota y hacen más cinemático el plano, con objetos cotidianos (escaleras, vías, vallas, bancos...) (6:10). A veces también sirven para dirigir la mirada hacia un lugar en la toma.
5. SIMETRÍA: Tratar de encontrar simetría en el plano, ya que transmite una sensación de placer al público.
6. SUJETO DOMINANTE (S. D.): Todo lo visto antes sirve a este propósito, el público tiene que saber automáticamente cual es el prota, no como en 8:25. Para esto, no hay que poner información adicional, solo poner en pantalla lo importante, para que no pase como en 9:02. Llenar la pantalla pero sin distracciones del S.D, como en 9:30, donde el S.D. está mal posicionado, sin nada brillante ni en movimiento en las esquinas que nos desvíe del S. D. (9:35).
7. HEADROOM: Es el espacio del corte del plano de arriba a el fin de la cabeza. En entrevistas, pones sus ojos en 2/3 de la pantalla (10:15), y 2/3 libres hacia el lado que miran o están posicionados (10:59). Si el S. D. se mueve moverse con él respetando esto (11:40).
8. ROMPER LAS REGLAS: Siempre sea de forma pensada y creativa, como en 12:49, donde el S.D. está mal posicionado a propósito para generar una sensación de incomodidad y tensión.
Such a helpful video, you really cleared up some of the things my photography teacher used to tell me. Especially regarding breaking the rules.
I want to thank you so much for making such an educational and effortful video like this! It have brought me so much information I needed and I hope everyone watching this will find it useful too!
I've watched many of your videos and this one several times. I loved Walter Mitty. Not all the actors were A level, but the movie hit home as one of hope and finding their true selves. Thanks for using these clips.
This video motivates me to learn more, good job thanks for giving us a piece of the pie 🥧.
1. Rule of third
2. Balance
3.Depth
4. leading line
6. Symmetry
7. Headroom/leading room
8. Break rule for creativity
Hey, I learned something from you today and it changed the way I look at photos. I noticed that there's leading lines in your background in the wood behind you. Before learning this, I thought to myself, he has the absolute coolest background. Now I know why it was so appealing to me. You're a great teacher! Thank you!
Wow! I can't take my eyes off from the video and my ears from listening to what you say! Thank you so much! 👍😁
Love this, very inspiring and helpful to us self-learners 😎
I was complete blind. Omg. Thank you so much. For this video. 🙏
A lot of people say "break the rules", but they never give any clarification or reason to do so! Thanks for being so clear and descriptive!
i did 6 years in the military and then spent 4 years doing a really hard psychology degree, only to realize i still love filmmaking and all the processes involved more than anything. i was starting to feel behind the curve and thinking i need film school still but all these comments saying that most of what they learned in film school is online is so encouraging
Wow, this is extremely helpful. Thanks!
I watced this when I was just starting on video editing and every points you mentioned had no value to me.
But now that I've had 100+ projects and some edits requires me to play with camera placement and movement. I just rewatched this and everything you've mentioned made sense and has deep value. Thanks a lot, I'll be experimenting and will try to observe more of these things when I edit.
All these points definitely make sense. I am just starting on video editing also but as a painting artist who creates fantasy landscapes from my imagination I know that composition makes or breaks any visual art. I found that the golden ratio is even superior to the rule of thirds and there are some more compositional rules that might apply to film also. Still, if there´s a reason, breaking the rules is king. Loved that point in the video. Best wishes for you on your journey!
@@malo-magic-blue do you have advice for somebody wanting to dip their toes but has zero knowledge? I mean I don't even know what camera, what software to use etc
@@miao7002 Yes, just start with the equipment you have right now, maybe your phone for filming and a pre-installed editing software on your computer. If there is none, download one or two free versions you find. Start with one minute clips of simple action, but always try to tell and sell your STORY! It does not matter if the plot is about sparrows at a bird-feeder or a child unwrapping their Birthday present. There is always an introduction, a tension and a (happy) end. Try to use free music for enhancing the mood of your scene. You will get a feel for it. After some practicing, when you think the free versions are limiting your creativity, then buy an upgrade to the program you like best. Do you want to create videos for UA-cam? The first videos I uploaded are actually slide shows, cut to the rhythm of music. That works good to show my paintings. I also edited music videos, always kept them short so far. Most important: Experiment and learn, make many little clips before you start a masterpiece. Best wishes!
This was perfect!
Ive been playing around with filming cinematic scenes in various video games lately and while I was aware of the rule of thirds, I didnt exactly understand why it works the way it does. I can immediately understand why some of my shots look great, and others look extremely off.
Some of the best I have seen on the subject. Informative, simple. Great stuff.
Great content as always!! ❤️
Great breakdown 👍🏻
yup
Hello Phúc Béo
🎉🎉🎉
1000s of videos covering this - this one is of the best
Absolutely great set of classic advices! Thank you
Love it you guys. ❤️
NO WAY ,.. Love your name !!!!
Great! Thank you! Most of them I knew, but it's always good to refresh and I like your way to present an information!
Absolutely brilliant. Very in-depth and very helpful indeed. Thank you
I can't express how glad I am this exists
I've been struggling on how to tell a story in a cinematic video/travel video and visual storytelling, hope you make a video of this
If I can make a recommandation : editing can be a big part of the storyline... Watch the train/transport sequence from Hot Fuzz by Edgar Wright to get an exaggerated way of how editing will count as much as composition
A pleasure to watch this channel,every video teach me something ,thank you for hard work to explain and simplify things to be easy to understand .
Amazing videos for this film course. Thank you for keeping us alive with these beautiful skills you have shared.
Excellent video! I will be taking your offer and buy your courses. Last year I've made a 30-minute short film with friends. We shot for six days and did so many things in a completely broken way. A great learning experience.
You mind letting me know how those courses were for you? Was it worth its price? Is it well organized? Etc.
They are mostly worth it. Seeing as to the "limited time offer" is still offered nearly a year later (I bought at a time where the offer was already available for multiple months so I actually believed it would soon be unavailable) I feel kind of cheated though.
There definitely is no denying that there is a lot of content, and that most of it is well structured and though out. I've stumbled across a few careless mistakes though; mostly on the website where there are typos in the title or description of every second video. They recently switched to a new site design which makes it a lot harder to navigate to the lecture you want to in my opinion. Don't tell anyone but I've resorted to just download all the videos as the website has become too much of a point of frustration for me.
One hugely subjective thing is the amount of Christian content sprinkled within the videos. I am a cristian, yet I feel repulsed by the amount of Christianity being shoved into my face at times. Again, this is HUGELY subjective! To be fair, these videos are one out of twenty (if you don't count the course that's literally titled "How to make a Christian movie" (paraphrased)) and they are relatively easy to skip.
My gut feeling says: Don't buy this for the price of 100€ - I feel more swindled and frustrated by Tomorrow's Filmmaker than I have positive feelings for it. My brain on the other hand, ignoring my feelings can mostly recommend TF. If you enjoy the episodes available on UA-cam, remember that these are cherry-picked and mostly comprised of multiple lectures. There's a lot more filler content in the actual courses, which doesn't have to be a bad thing though; a slower pace might make learning easier for some and it's not like it's tedious amounts of it. Having not looked at TF for six months, I was pleasantly surprised to see a full three or four new courses, each multiple hours in length and generally of higher quality than what was offered eight months ago. While my gut feeling might have been accurate back then, I don't think it actually is anymore. If they continue to add content like they seem to be doing this is a great deal. There's just a lot of little inconveniences and hiccups along the way that clearly state: This is not the "super-professional video course" as which it is marketed as.
Edit: I probably learned just as much, if not more, through free resources such as StudioBinder (on UA-cam and StudioBinder.com ), NoFilmSchool.com , JerryJenkins.com , FilmPuls.info (German), DramaQueen.info (German). There were really enjoyable moments with both free videos from, for instance, StudioBinder and Tomorrow's Filmmaker where I sat down with our director and second writer and learned by simply watching and discussing these videos. Tomorrow's Filmmaker definitely is a great resource but you can get all the information for free if you are willing to search for it. It's the typical dilemma of "will free resources cost me more money in terms of time in the end, so is the payed option actually better perhaps?".
@@DesertCookie Thank you very much, this is the very detailed response/answer I truly appreciate!
I myself always ponder if these programs are worth it if I can also do my own research and gain a relatively same amount of knowledge. I was always nervous, wondering if I was missing something that these programs provided that I couldn't find on youtube/the internet for free.
But, as both my own experience and your response has relatively concluded, it seems that it can be preferable for one to do their own research (of course it takes all that extra effort to find and take notes. But I feel that makes me more dedicated than I would have been if I paid for a slower, more organized program).
Oh what a wonderful age of plentiful information and knowledge; the internet is an amazing thing.
I've recently gotten interested into film making as a way to present the many stories I've thought of (me being a single individual, and hopefully working with a small team in the far or not so far future). I used to think that it would be impossible, but now I see that the more I learn through these videos, the easier it is for me to see a more beautiful picture of my story than ever before.
I'm interested in the idea of multi-media story telling, not only to touch bases with a huge number of audience and spread the passion for my stories, but to experience the whole package of telling stories through films, books, comics, even games perhaps.
It's my passion that speaks like this. Will I actually create my stories in these forms? Only hard work and determination will let me know!
Again, thank you for your answer, I truly appreciate it and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!😊
Super Super Super, Thank you so much for your help and support 😍 Solly Teacher Calicut 🤗
Really enjoyed the specific reference to The Kings Speech and the example of how they broke the rules in this. Thanks man!
It is incredibly rare to find a film making video that I can watch and be like, damn, that actually helped.
1:03 I like how the price was higher than the content before lol
Breaking the rule that point was very interesting and educational for me 😊
Wow!
Those 16 minutes were just awesome.
Amazing peace of information with a wonderful explanation.
Thank you for sharing.
Everytime I watch a video of yours I get compliments that I do not look like I'm a beginner . Signing u for classes with my buddy for sure. Thanks for the content and keep it up!!
Do you get a certified or completed course certificate? I'm experienced was just wondering.
This could still be improved by having a.chapter list in a pinned comment or the description.
The 8 main point titles were hard to see because they were competing unnecessarily with the title of the video.
Thank you for this, I've learned a lot just watching this
I've always followed these rules, but it's crazy to learn their terms and professional implications!
0:45 look at the bar graph🤔
The question that is stuck in my head is: "Why in the world have you lowered the price to $97"? Or did it ever cost $800, you just state that to make your $97 "offer" seem like a bargain?
Fantastic video! Thank you very much. I've been in photography for a few years now, and I'm looking to make my way into videography. Videos like this give me the confidence to try!
Thank you. I needed this. My filmmaking refresher.
Can you provide a link to the article that shows"it's scientifically proven" that our eyes are drawn to the rule of thirds?
This rule was set way back in 1797, I don't remember who said that
But the rule of thirds is true
@@ronaldbenz_ it's not scientifically proven though like was said in the video. Come on man!
@@thomza Yes, but somehow the rule is still being taught and you'll see it in many movies, there's one reason for it, because it works!
Maybe there was a later scientific study, but this thing was discovered way back as I said
Thank you not fulfill this video, extremely good Brother.
Excellent video. All the essentials covered in 15 minutes!
loved this video, i watched similar ones before but this is the best one i understood very clearly. greatly appreciated.
I take exception to the "depth" section. DO NOT HEAVILY BLOW OUT BACKGROUNDS UNLESS IT SERVES A CLEAR PURPOSE. Way too many movies today have what I call the "full-frame look;" that is, they have extremely shallow depth of field and they have it FAR too often. It looks like garbage. When you focus on one person's facial expression or words and want to emphasize them _like it's visual italics_ then it's appropriate, but far too many movies discard the background in favor of "ooh look at me iTs sO fILmIc wOooW!!!" and it seriously detracts from the shot. If this offends you because you have a Canon 50mm f/1.8 and you're mad that I'm ripping on the thing you think is so cool about it (I've been there, bro) then consider this: if every shot is shallow in your film, that shallowness loses all value and meaning. I want to see the audience in a back shot of a person alone on stage. I want to see the snow-covered mountains in the distance when the teens are playing a song on the building roof. I want to see the giant record collection wall of the jazz enthusiast as he swings his hands to the beat while he listens. What you're calling "depth" is really a lack of depth.

You defined COMPOSITION but not CINEMATIC... Which is one of the most overused buzzwords in the creative language right now. If we can't define it, we can't replicate it, or teach others to do it.
From what I have understood is that there is no such static way of making any footage cinematic its these small things that we do in the video that makes it cinematic. Maybe I am wrong or I am seeing or getting things in wrong way but this is what I have noticed in most of that cases. You can tweak things in the footage that you have shot using these tips and make it cinematic. Please correct me if I am going wrong anywhere because even I am trying to learn. Hopefully you will be able to see this comment and guide me on something new which I may be able to add up to my knowledge in the line of improvement
