The Shining second unit opening helicopter sequence. Also the civil war opening to the film “Love” by angels and airwaves. Although not sure if that’s classed as B roll?
My experience on getting B-rolls for my upcoming short film. 1. Most important things are climate, time and place you are shooting for B-roll, if you are shooting eshtablishment shot for a restaurant in morning and if the scene is evening, it will not match. Same goes with climate, if your next scene is cloudy or rainy and if you have a scene transition shot that is sunny, it will not match. Keep entire theme of your story in mind while shooting it, you can tell a story even with B-rolls and not just for scene transitions or cutaways. Best example is Manchester By sea, how they use climate and the landscape to communicate protagonist's emotions. 2. Have B-Roll Stocks with you if you are a filmmaker, go out and shoot something when you have free time and store it in your archieves, you never know which footage can be used to enhance the story, the magic happens in editing. 3. Collaborate with your fellow filmmakers and share footages with them, I remember listening to Blade runner audio commentary by Ridley scott where he says he borrowed footages for it from Stanley kubrick which was shot for 2001. 4. Keep an open mind, I was very stubborn and denied in the beginning when my DP suggested a stock footage for a shot, I said, what's the purpose of saying it my film if someone's footage is there in my film. Later in the post, the one we shot was not that good and that stock footage suggested made perfect sense and I then I realised that there is nothing wrong using stock footages, end of the day, it is your film and your story. Martin scorsese had a local filmmaker shoot the wig commercial in goodfellas, a war scene in Inglorius basterds was not shot by QT, If pure filmmakers like them did it then I can do it as well. 5. Don't stick to high FPS all the time, know your story and plan it accordingly. Have a rough cut of the entire film in your mind if possible, it is the best way to get a best B-roll, if not entire movie, atleast scenes that are before and after in the story. 6. Shots used for Montage also come under B-roll category depending on the montage. It is the toughest B-roll to shoot, try to capture many angles, FPS and lens possible, you never know what works in editing. More footages you have, better the final product. 7. One more important thing is timing. For example, If a character sees from left to right in a specific speed, your B-roll ahould be in same speed. If you do a quick pan, and if the character looks slowly then the cutaway is unusable, if you try to slow the footage in post, it will look ugly. so while shooting character cutaway, plan the speed and angle from character point of view. 8. If you are shooting a scene in a specific area, try to get a few shots around that place as a back up if you have time. You can use them to create an ambience for the scene. Not neccesarily major, even small things like insects moving in desert in Breaking Bad or tap water dripping etc. You may not have that in mind while storyboarding or may not have planned to have it but again like I said before, you never know what works in editing. 9. B-rolls was my least priority before the shoot but since I am editing now, I came to know how much important it is and how much of a quality it can bring to your project and enhances your storytelling. It is as important as shooting major sequence and so don't take it for granted, don't trust your DP or assistants blindly to shoot your B-rolls. I just told my DP to shoot a couple and went on concentrating on other things on set and I regret now in post. You should know the look and feel of every frame of your project and so be behind the camera for every frame you shoot for your project. 10. Last but not least, It may sound cliched in filmmaking world but the best way to learn anything in filmmaking is by making. Videos like these or any channels, courses and masterclasses for that matter, will help you with basics and get started but the real knowledge of filmmaking only comes by making films. Most of it is solving problems is real time and there is no theory to follow it, it only comes by experience. I Hope this is helpful, Best of luck guys. Edit: Guys, avoid stocks as much as possible. Once it is graded, it is more likely to stand out and look wierd. Try to go and reshoot if you didn't get anything properly, make sure it is properly planned before shoot and try to avoid reshoot as much as possible.
Thanks for using my footage and not even giving credit to my channel...(and all the other content creators that are seen in this)..Oh, you're a company with a commercial intention I see..good to know.

Amen on the over use. I like much of Daniel Schiffer but he's guilty of beating "B roll" to death for shots that are absolutely not B roll. Instead they are some of the best scenes in the final product.
We're in the middle of filming for our short film and our director casually mentioned the word "B-roll" I didn't know what it was so I asked someone from the prod team. I want to understand our director more to help out and this video helped a lot thank you!
At the beginning of the first few seconds i was like why is he explaining in a complicated manner, but after watching the whole video i changed my perception that we need give ourselves time to understand the things. your explanation makes me understood the total concept of b-roll. Thank you bro!

OK! There's hope! I'm ready to heave my breakfast from the amount of "B roll" and "cinematic" connotations out now that distort what they mean. Like still photographers are getting sick of hearing about "bokeh." Sure, I'm old enough to be that guy that yells "and get off my lawn!" except I live in a big, sky lit loft away from the city. No lawn. I had this discussion with a few other guys that have been there, done that. Entertainment, news and commercial (product/machinery/vehicle) film and video. The consensus was we remembered B roll was something you assigned to a junior hand to give them time with the camera. Sometimes there only was one camera. You'd be handed the minimum of essential gear and possibly a list of things the producer/director would like to have so if the project called for 15 minutes, you could assemble a good looking 15 min. You would do this on down periods when the bigger fish were taking a break or having a meeting. In other words, show me what you can get but don't be all day at it; we need you back here at 3 p.m. I see UA-cams now of staged scenes rehearsed over and over to get the angles right and only then bring on the main talent to be on camera doing repetitious moves for 5 takes needing a $#it ton of gear, and it's called B roll. SMH.
Pretty much my B-Rolls are for construction in architecture. I've recently used them in architecture but for the rendering process: like you can record the screen of how it is made BUT, it only takes a couple of seconds to someone that doesn't understands or know about at (like me) to get bored or distracted. So instead, I switch to B-Roll and corner around the guy in the pc or maybe a zoom in the physical materials in which they create your work (paper sheets, pencils or pens, markers. Sketches, floor plans and so on). Those aspects have helped me a lot. I still have a lot to learn about them but, THIS gave me a cristal clear guideline on how to make my process correctly. I was doing the filming, sort of right but this video changed the way I'll do stuff from now on. I'll use order as my main guide. Like for real, it doesn't matter how much I study if I build something from the last to the first... or was it? What I tried to do is take the main focus like construction as in "right now!" but it takes time: when they are setting the machines, the equipment, gathering the personel... that's when my B-Roll spidersense kicked in "What if meanwhile, I shoot regular film shots like a tool or the static structure?". But, with this guides now I'll know when to film, not randomly going for the hardcore stuff. Unless I have limited amount of time, which is pretty much always lol. What I'm trying to say, is that if you are in a rush you might get desperate at first glance. You might get anxiety attacks kicking in, frustration for low quality shots and emotions overwhelming you but... that changes once you understand, that with a few rules of filming followed to the foot: you'll achieve great results. You wanna learn patience? It took me months to get a film done, MONTHS in production and post prod just about what... weeks?! Crazy right? More common that what you would expect. Things are so random even if you have the scripts, the materials, the equipment, the crew, permits and more. 1.- So beware of your emotions, they are your ally and foe. 2.- Follow the filming and photography rules to the foot. 3.- Have an order. 4.- Film as best as you can. 5.- Have backup batteries, memory cards, phones or cameras, microphones, everything lol. 6.- For God's sake, use SAFETY EQUIPMENT. In any place you can get injured, you have to be wary of that. 7.- Have fun and learn, otherwise you'll become a bitter person like me. Thanks.
I think it's important to emphasize that a cinematic look has nothing to do with using a gimbal or shooting slow mo. They surely are important tools to be creative with and they really can create a cinematic look... if they work to a purpose. The way you approached it made it seem like the camera movement or the stabilization will tell the stories themselves. And to be honest I found those tree shots terrible, not telling any stories, not cinematic at all.
agree. thats why i kinda of fed up and disgusted when everybody shoot a fkn Travel VLOG and upload it to UA-cam and claims it it was a CINEMATIC Video. lool.
@@mrsnoo86 whats a cinematic video...... I wanna start shooting and such videos are the only source that i can access to learn cinematography. Are you saying that B-Rolls in travel vlogs aren't good or accurate?
LOVE that jacket! As a Chinese I don't see this being wore anywhere even on other Chinese people. People should start wearing them, it's guaranteed they'd look extremely good on anyone!
My two favorite B-Roll/Insert shots are in Taxi Driver. 1- The slow zoom into the fizzing water representing Travis's mental state. 2- While Travis is on a public phone, in a dingy building speaking to Betsy in a failed romantic attempt, the camera slowly tracks away to an empty hallway as he continues in vain off-camera. It's a nice foreshadowing of the future and his sense of emptiness. Classic Scorsese. And if you listen to the commentary by Scorsese, he claims the hallway shot was the first idea in his head about the film and dictated the whole style. Yes... a B-Roll/Insert shot.
"B-roll" was a news term, also known as "coverage," which became a non-fiction film/video term. There is no "B-roll" in cinema. What you're talking about are inserts, cutaways, POV shots, subjective camera, or establishing shots.
Corect but it is used now as B_Roll too. I mean today it is not wrong but true it is cut aways pov and any other shots which are not the main action for the story to be told.
i'm a noob (that's why I'm here) but when comparing those two shots, no mention of the difference in music used or color grading and how they affect the mood? THe first shot to the root could be a lot less ominous if you had used the pleasant music and graded it warmer.
1:16 The "Mit out Sound" legend Some of the early directors in Hollywood, whose first language was German, had trouble with the sound with. So instead of saying, " we are recording this scene "without sound" the words came out "We are recording this scene mitout sound. Because this word corruption, MOS means "without sound"
It's really very helpful! Thank you! Am a beginner to this realm of videography and editing and really wanna pursue it down! But I am quite disheartened to see people not giving much attention to these works. I mean, it's really a very difficult job to capture those moments and put them in a really fancy way. But people take that for granted and do not recognize the efforts behind it. One would be seeing like 1M likes in some worthless videos which might involve a hot chick waving throughout the video and nothing else! Leaving all that behind, really good work man! I have been following a lot of videographers on UA-cam! All of you are wonderful!

gimbals make it cinematic? these a storytelling tools and every movie uses different techniques from handheld to steadicam, so consider changing up the verbage
2:25 - ''This B-Roll shot is used intentionally to visually symbolize how her consciousness is as intangible as that dust'' - How do you know that? How do you know that that's exactly what the director wanted to say? Seriously, where do I ''learn'' stuff like this? I often see similar interpretations of films by various people and I always think to myself ''Wow, how come I didn't catch that?'' Not for nothing I somethimes think they talk out of their asses and that they have no idea if that's true or not, so all of the intepretations are subjective to a point. But seriously when you say it like that in the video, I think every person out there when they saw it, they instantly got it and understood it and that I'm the only guy who thought it's just a random shot. Of course it's not a random shot, since every shot has a story to tell and convey something, director chose it for a reason, but how come you know that what you think is the reason - is the reason? There are thousands of those ''film analysis'' channels on youtube like ''Every Frame A Painting'' and such, and when I watch it, I feel like I'm learning something, but at the same time I can't be certain of the authenticity of what they are saying.
@@TVCStudios I have had business partners and customers like that. Copywriting - I make a draft on my own for a marketing pitch; they come in to sit beside me and edit. After ten tries it's only getting worse and further away from what we need, frustrating the both of us (especially me). Then after three hours I kid you not, she says "That's it! That's great!" It's the draft I made in the first place on my own. After three hours of crap she didn't recognize it as the one she said was no good
Cinema is art. Art is subjective. Most of the interpretations might not be true, but what is true? Director can't possibly say: "I didn't think about that, you are wrong" There is no such thing as right or wrong, only over-analyzing and long shots.
Like you said these analysis videos are mostly talking out of their ass. It's subjective interpretations but they pitch it like it's the absolute truth. You can come up with your own interpretation of that scene. For example if somebody claim that falling dust is symbol for protagonist emotional breakdown there is no way to verify director actually intended that. Watch scene breakdown of Shazam movie on the channel 'Ponysmasher'. It's a channel run by David F Sandberg , the director of the movie Shazam. He talks about this subjective interpretation of scenes in his videos.
01:33 I really like that idea for a dolly. Now I just need someone to push me around on my office chair. Also, I'm brand new to filmmaking - how are you getting that high off the ground around 06:20? A crane?

Leaving all that behind, really good work man! I have been following a lot of videographers on UA-cam! All of you are wonderful!

The best explanation about B roll ever !!! I know war a B roll is ... but now I realised y exactly we use them ..!
I found you looking for the definition of B-Roll. Facinating stuff! I never gave it much thought being just a casual viewer. This education will stay with me and always remind me of your lesson. Thanks sensei
B-Roll
A-Roll: 메인 스토리나 주제와 관련이 있는 씬
B-Roll: 스토리의 간격을 좁히기 위한 삽입 화면
B-Roll이 A-Roll의 실수나, 점프컷을 숨기고 비주얼적으로 스토리를 설명하고 비주얼 모티프로 스토리를 발전시킬 수 있음
M.O.S: 소리가 없는 것
1. Plan It
2. Work Smart Not Hard
3. Maximize Your Time
ex. Depth f 1.4: 배경의 모든 것들이 번지면서 아름다운 배경을 만들 수 있음
Slow Motion 60-120 FPS
Thanks for breaking down B-Roll so well. But I'm much in favor of C-Roll though!
My favorite B-Roll shots? everything in Twin Peaks S3 and Eraserhead : D
It updates my knowledge of how make better videos. This will goes to my vault of ideas.
All videos are a real gem for filming ❤
Nice vid, thanks

Very interesting point made when you said both shots were done within a minute of each other. tHanks for the video
almost popoular youtubers are in this video 😍
Probably the best video I scroll through ....
I think there will be alot of b roll shots in each movie right from character titles to conclusion.
Wau, 4 years passed already... Anyways, thanks for sharing this video, this was exactly what i wanting to know and even more.
Great Video!!
gimbals make it cinematic? these a storytelling tools and every movie uses different techniques from handheld to steadicam, so consider changing up the verbage

Love you Studiobinder 😀🕺🏽🎥🏖🇦🇺
Honestly i have been searching for this. Now I know it's called B Roll. Thanks
wow that's great explanation. I liked your examples. Beautifully filmed.
Thanks Studio Binder
Lu Maw you’re welcome!
I always thought B-Roll meant barrell roll effect until i got curious and searched it up. Boy was I so wrong!
Do a B(arrell) Roll!!
2:25 - ''This B-Roll shot is used intentionally to visually symbolize how her consciousness is as intangible as that dust'' - How do you know that? How do you know that that's exactly what the director wanted to say? Seriously, where do I ''learn'' stuff like this? I often see similar interpretations of films by various people and I always think to myself ''Wow, how come I didn't catch that?'' Not for nothing I somethimes think they talk out of their asses and that they have no idea if that's true or not, so all of the intepretations are subjective to a point. But seriously when you say it like that in the video, I think every person out there when they saw it, they instantly got it and understood it and that I'm the only guy who thought it's just a random shot. Of course it's not a random shot, since every shot has a story to tell and convey something, director chose it for a reason, but how come you know that what you think is the reason - is the reason? There are thousands of those ''film analysis'' channels on youtube like ''Every Frame A Painting'' and such, and when I watch it, I feel like I'm learning something, but at the same time I can't be certain of the authenticity of what they are saying.
@@TVCStudios I have had business partners and customers like that. Copywriting - I make a draft on my own for a marketing pitch; they come in to sit beside me and edit. After ten tries it's only getting worse and further away from what we need, frustrating the both of us (especially me). Then after three hours I kid you not, she says "That's it! That's great!"
It's the draft I made in the first place on my own. After three hours of crap she didn't recognize it as the one she said was no good
Cinema is art. Art is subjective. Most of the interpretations might not be true, but what is true? Director can't possibly say: "I didn't think about that, you are wrong" There is no such thing as right or wrong, only over-analyzing and long shots.
Like you said these analysis videos are mostly talking out of their ass. It's subjective interpretations but they pitch it like it's the absolute truth. You can come up with your own interpretation of that scene. For example if somebody claim that falling dust is symbol for protagonist emotional breakdown there is no way to verify director actually intended that. Watch scene breakdown of Shazam movie on the channel 'Ponysmasher'. It's a channel run by David F Sandberg , the director of the movie Shazam. He talks about this subjective interpretation of scenes in his videos.
Very informative. Free film school over here!
Great host! Love the video as well.
Colleen Crimmins Rosen thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
So, Terrence Malick's movies are eternal B- Roles?😂

I think 'Punch-Drunk Love' has awesome B-Roll.
01:33 I really like that idea for a dolly. Now I just need someone to push me around on my office chair.
Also, I'm brand new to filmmaking - how are you getting that high off the ground around 06:20? A crane?
Thanks for very useful episode 🙏

Thanks for your time and video. Could not ask for more finding out what B-Roll means.

I would really like a video about on lighting or filter cause I know that that makes a big difference and I would like to know more about

THANK YOU!
But what should be considered b roll in the script, what should be main photography?
I really liked your video. It explained a lot. Thanks.
So to catch a sun flare there is always a wide angle lens necessary?
A lens flare can be produced with any lens. But in that particular shot, a wide angle lens was used.
Hope that answers your question!
😊✌🏻
@@StudioBinder thank you
pascquallo it’s definitely much easier to flare with a wide lens, but like StudioBinder says- it can happen with any focal length
@@StudioBinder thank you
@@elliotcrosen thank you!
