The last section of this video "Be Safe", is something not a lot of people talk about. I am so glad you mentioned this because this has been my biggest fear that usually stops me from exploring my options when am alone. I once tried a long shot with me walking away but I kept wanting to turn around and see my gear is still there. It was so much anxiety that I gave up on the shot and did not enjoy filming either. Its not good if you cant enjoy the filming process. urgh!!
Ya I was wondering the same Lol... I would turn around every 30sec to make sure my gear is still there... How then
When the camera fell so did my heart
yeah rip lens. 😢
Oh yeah
0:22 #1 Carry the right gear
1:24 #2 Plan your shot
1:52 #3 Lock off your focus
2:58 #4 Optimize framing and composition
3:53 #5 Consider sequence and continuity
4:51 #6 Use a variety of focal lengths
5:49 #7 Add movement in post
6:46 #8 Get more angles/perspectives
7:17 #9 Secure your gear
Thanks 🙏
"Movement in post," that's where I often forget how powerful that can be. I concentrate so much on continuity, I forget that creativity is just as important! Just a little bit of movement can step up the level of the whole video. Thank you for reminding me to always remind myself about that. Great tips as always, thank you Jeven!
I think I might watch this every time before I go film myself as a reminder. Great on the run cinematography advice.
That Manual Focus advice is gold.! I've been struggling with the autofocus I never get the proper look.
Yeah I also found manual focus to be the way to go for every shot where AF is not an absolute necessity. Few things makes a shot look as amateurish as AF going bananas :P
Great tips for us solo-filmers! Your tip on variety, changes in foreground, etc. is helpful. Thanks.
This is great, love the advice you give and its helped me loads. I do almost all of the filming for our vlogs, what I struggle with is getting the right shots as we normally filming whilst we have gone out for the day and dont want keep asking the family to redo shots.
The best film school on You Tube. Pure gold!
Really helpful video, thanks for sharing its defiantly something I need to work on and have just purchased a gimbal and a drone.
Jeven,
I wanted you to know how much I appreciate you and your page! I have loved videography since I was 16. But with life, sometimes we choose not to follow our passions. 😔 now that I’m 37... I’m getting back into it and of all the channels I’ve found and videos I’ve watched, yours is the best!! Thank you so much for creating your content and I look forward to leaning on your tips and tricks more going forward!!
I have been enjoying your tutorials Jeven. I am venturing into UA-cam as a medium and need all the tips and knowledge I can get. I hope to produce my first story/travel video next month while visiting Guanajuato MX next month. I have also been applying my new found skills filming my bees and their care. Thank you for all your hard work and keep producing.
I'm really enjoying your content Jeven! Learning a ton about story telling and I greatly appreciate it ;) All the best, Jay
This breakdown is so helpful. I have a Google sheet where I write down all shot types for different styles - with a gimbal, locked off, handheld and so on... but in this video you convey key principles which give a much more clear vision of things. You would think this stuff is obvious... but without consciously remembering that (and making it a habit through the repetition) there is no learning. So basically I love this kind of videos, very helpful.
I am so happy I found your Channel. It's not as easy as watch once and become a pro like you. I will take a while, so that's why I subscribed to this channel a while ago. Thank you for what you do, you help your audience to learn, and to become better. You are awesome, you are a tutor, a professor, and a leader of thousands of subscriber. Good job, young man!!! 😊🙏
This was excellent Jeven. I film myself skiing and mountain biking all the time and it’s challenging. You’ve given me lots of excellent ideas! :-)
I started watching you because of you dji mini 2 tutorial... I can't get enough of your content! I really appreciate that you out it all out there and help people like me who are just starting out.
Thanks, got some great tips here, especially about using the longer lenses.
These are solid tips Jeven, thanks for sharing! I need to plan out more shots in advance as I end up trying to get more shots and/or b-roll afterwards.
Best tutorial mate. Sensible, simple and easily understood, even for an Aussie. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Great tips! I'm glad you mentioned being safe - I was going to ask about ways to do this in a public place. I've never put my camera down and walked a short distance away without someone noticing. I swear I was 3 feet away from my camera when a guy walks up and shouts, "A camera!!" Most people aren't that obvious, but you can see their eyes widen, & they start to look around to see if anyone is near (I always am). So it makes a variety of shots and focal lengths next to impossible when you're alone.
Thanks Jeven, loved it. I'm planning to start another channel and getting to the point where I want to be in my own videos, telling a story. Your videos are helping lots.
Jeven - this is hands down one of the most valuable videos I’ve watched. Thank you!
For the first time I actually had someone help me film on my last videos. It opened up some interesting things that I never normally get to do. But I still got my best shots from the work I just did myself.
I wish I had found this video last year. The auto focus tip is a huge one that I learned the hard way. Manual focus on my shoots is still one of the biggest things I struggle with. As I am filming myself I often miss the mark a little and end up just slightly out of focus. It's so annoying. But auto focus is far worse and has caused me to spend hours of my life on reshoots.
Thank you for making this. It is really great.
Thank you, inspire me
Thanks for the tips. I’m okay with a camera taking stills but filmmaking is new to me but I’m excited to do my best to keep improving after each video!
Love this, I am getting use to different styles of recording and this totally gave me some new ideas. I love your B roll, it's insane how incredible it is. Awesome job
These are great tips that I'll be sure to implement and good idea to remind viewers to be mindful of their surroundings before setting their gear down. I think I will start playing more with manual settings versus auto focus, I've filmed a beautiful sunset but on playback I noticed it kept auto focusing on all the clouds 🌇 Good idea to check and do several clips.
Awesome video as always. Much appreciated my man.
I really like this type of video. I learn a lot, as a small creator and often film alone. Thanks for this and many other of your videos 😀👍👍
Really great video. Just what I needed. I’m about to try my first ‘on location’ video. It’s given me lots of things to think about. Thanks.
Great tips! I ALWAYS notice in certain movies when there’s something off between shots that shouldn’t have changed - could be the hair changes or hat placement etc. it truly takes attention to detail and awareness of all these things to get the good continuity between shots
You have such an honestly helpful UA-cam channel. I’m so grateful for the work you put into each thorough video!
Truly appreciate your videos Jeven. You always give the best advice. Great work! Thank you for all you do.
I truly appreciate ALL of these! thank you!
Another video I didn’t know I needed! Going to thoroughly enjoy this watch! 💯✔️🔥
Jeven you have become my favorite filming/ UA-cam teacher. Awesome video !
Thanks for this valuable 9 easy steps for better Solo B Roll because I work solo right now and have no collaborations till I master my tips and find my Gener. Keep educating us by sharing your practical knowledge.
Great tips! I had a go at filming myself during the first lockdown. I need to try these new tips!
thanks, Mr Jeven for sharing us this steps
Man what are you really doing here
@@BigGuure he's learning 😂
Great reminders. It's so much work to film yourself, but it is always worth it!
Great tips. Thanks Jeven. You’ve helped a great deal in my brief UA-cam journey 🤙🏼🔥
Great video with some solid tips, man. I'm starting to do more solo-shot narrative storytelling, and these will help a lot!
This is so addictive. Ive watch a lot of your videos. 👏👏👏👏
Great video Jeven. I need to add more angles when I shoot . These are great tips.
It takes more time but I always end up using them in the edit
You the MAN Aldryn 👊🏽
Would be cool to see some different angles & unique ground perspectives mixed in with all the drone shots. But as you know, your content is highly watchable already. Cheers.
(You the MAN too Jeven. Didn’t wanna leave you out 🤜🏽🤛🏽)
And remember the rule of the rude dinner guest in your edits. Arrive late and leave early 😊
Genuine tips! I'll apply this one when gear will be upgraded. Thanks!
Some great tips there! Thank you!
I definitly need to work on a lot of these & plan my shots more.. 👍🏾
The comment you made about locking focus is super helpful for me! Thank you!

This was sooo good. Thanks so much for this. I was always nervous shooting outside by myself and walking away from my camera. But I love that you talked about going to a remote location. So I'm going to do that now. Thanks for the tips

Great information. I use my GoPro for most of my shots in my trail-building videos. A rock, a tree branch (with the clip), the ground, a log, a stump, all become a tripod for me.
Great advises. I grab them all. Super THANKS! 👍👍
Lots of great advice in here. I plan to watch this periodically to remind myself. Thank you.
