I obviously learned all these in uni but somehow forgotten until now because I hate uni lol. Well thanks to this video which helped me reminded concise information about the camera angles. Dude if the uni taught like this video and spent the rest of time working in the field instead, I'd learn a lot more. Well I guess having hateful professors also contributed on me not learning much from the uni.
That shot at 1:45 is the most perfectly composed and still shot I have ever seen, the symmetry of the location mixed with the colours and the clarity is just so beautiful, the fact the guy almost completely contrasts all the colours makes this way way more professional looking, I've never seen a camera shot as well done in actual movies, never looked anything like this before and I'm feeling like "where have you been all my life?"

Literally one of the only channels on UA-cam teaching helpful, real world filmmaking techniques instead of just "fancy b-roll." Got so much out of this video!
Good exercise- Tomorrow on our shoot I am going to checklist these just to force myself to use the ones I shy away from. Recently I realized my experience shooting News has narrowed the shots I use by habit.
I just realised looking back in my videos that I was using these different camera angles and shots correctly in my best videos without knowing but when I put these angles in perspective I can see why those videos are better than others.. I will make sure I make a checklist everytime I shoot from now on
Im a teacher in digital marketing and this video is great. Going to use these in my classes and go by them one-by-one as an introduction to film technique.
And again : thank you guys. Not only is it perfectly clear but it also reminds us to not overcomplicate things and to stay humble. After all, shooting a movie is not about us, it's about the story.
Such a generous video in the amount of information given and in such a short time. No pointless waffling. Thanks. I will be shooting my first short movie in a couple of weeks when I get my Canon 90D and this has been the most useful video I've seen on the subject.
Great information here. I've been making videos for over 10 years now and never realised the how and why of shots. Learned a lot from this video. Thank you so very much. Have a great day 😀
Well, it is pretty much how I went from not making any money making videos to making over 50k this last year with even bigger goals this year! I highly, highly recommend it!
This is what I call an informative video. Not just telling you the camera angles but also giving visual definitions, examples, why they are important/what they convey, when to use or not use them, etc. Thanks guys!!
You guys are awesome. And i liked the "shoe on the drain" shot - the focus was on water and it actually did convey loneliness quite a lot! It was a great shot.
Excellent video breaking down the different camera angles to use in your films. Really loved the 180 degree rule as well as the 30 degree rule if you are using two cameras for an interview etc... Thank you, Parker!

Hey there! Just wanted to say a huge thanks for your awesome film making tips. I'm pretty new to UA-cam and started out focusing just on my message. But after getting into editing and buying my first camera, I've realized there's so much more to learn. Your channel has been a lifesaver - it's like a fun crash course in film making! Really appreciate all the help you're giving to us newbies. Keep rocking! 🎥✨
So basicly, the whole world seems be at a Dutch angle right now. (Like theres something not right about it). I've watched this video like 5 times because I feel it is an incredibly valuable Lesson. This time I actually used my Notes app and took Pictures of all the different examples so I can refer quickly when ever I'm practicing.
Your video answers some of the questions to "if I was able to look inside and outside my bodies what,why, and when would I need to". I am currently working on a project that has to do with personal entertainment and how thinking to control live in a magical space is accomplished without being wierd or brain dead and this video gave me some clues to what angles mean, I would hate to be a total tune job, slob, or dummy and not get the mood, attitude, and atmospheric representation of a play segment.
Wow, thanks a lot! Those camera angles look amazing. I think to make a great video, you need to picture the whole scene in your mind first and then film it accordingly. If you can't think of how it should be, then it becomes a whole bunch of unnecessary cut angles. Definitely learned something new today! 30 and 180 degree angles are handy to know.
Thank you! Me and a group of kids in my animation class are working on a 15-minute thriller short film as an assignment for school and I’ve decided to do all the research I can to make the very best short film. We’re all researching different aspects of good films/tv shows and this one seems important to me. Thanks again!
@@amiros_2001 It was…interesting. We all had to agree on an idea, and one of my groupmates absolutely refused to do anything other than an SCP Foundation short film. SCP Foundation is a creepypasta-esque creative writing platform. None of us knew anything about it and we offered to do a spy-type thing, but they said it had to be SCP. It was frustrating and the teacher wouldn’t help. The person didn’t even help us that much with anything. I’d say they wrote a moderate amount of the draft for the script, but they didn’t help with the editing of the script or the animation. We had 5 characters and 5 people and one of the other classmates made 2 character models. I did a lot of concept art for the characters and designed one of the simpler-looking ones, but the hair was a nightmare to animate. I worked on a lot of the actual animation with the moving of the models and stuff, but mad props to the one classmate who designed the two characters. Overall, it turned out pretty good! I found a couple good SCP stories, although I’m harboring resentment over the situation. We also left the one group member out of the credits and explained to the teacher what happened. I don’t know if the teacher did anything or not, but at least our classmates know.
@@anayaweick7964 wow didn't expect great detail but that's awesome, first experiences are always learning experiences so it's great that you came out with something good. Ik what its like to have groupmates like that, i once did 80% of a project and got the same credit as the rest cuz the teacher said we had to figure stuff out between ourselves but i'm never working with them again.
8:07 You can also break this rule if you’re trying to add uneasiness to the scene. That’s what Christopher Nolan did with Batman the dark Knight. When Batman was interrogating the Joker.
good spot, i also realised that the camera switched from being on the left side of batman to show joke on left, and then on the right to show joker on the right. i guess this adds to the uneasiness and and confusion.... which i only noticed now
fsxdom The camera angles only work as well as the music. Christopher Nolan wanted to add unfamiliarity to the scene, so he added unfamiliar camera angles to throw people off.
Richard Linklater threw that 180° over board in a conversation and made an amzing scene in Code 46. Daren Aaronofsky played it well by skipping that same rule, almost unnoticeable in Requiem for a Dream. It is true... know the rules, but rules are meant to be bent.
Super informative as always. (I don't know if someone already mentioned this in the comment section). Just wanted to add that during 6:03 I believe the spelling is incorrect since it is missing the letter "e" in between for the word Loneliness.
Hi I am a beginner to this is 4th video what I saw on UA-cam about video making. You guys are doing great work. Thank You for your efforts to teach us about videography.
This was so great! I didn't know about the 30 degree rule. The only part that was weird was the clip that you cut from eyelash close up to some green pine needles ...it looked like extreme green eyelashes growing...haha. But honestly this was super helpful! Thanks😃
I would like to see some video about: how to prepare a simple checklist for this... It's easy to understand the angles and types of shots, but it's hard to put that on a checklist... How to ask the people to understand what this checklist means...
Well there cant be a simple checklist, if anything, this video was the checklist. You have make a list of what information and what emotiin you want (not) to convey with every beat of your scene and then find the shot or sequence of shots that is accomploshing that best.
I think you only learn thst from a) practice (shooting sth and then see in the efit if the shots work together like you had in your mind) and b) looking at lots of examples that impress you or are like the project you plan to do and analyse them. A great resource for that is the channel Studio Binder, and Every frame a painting.

The example of wideshots to convey loneliness immediately looks like a Better Call Saul scene. Love how those shots works so well in the series.
Great information here. I've been making videos for over 10 years now and never realised the how and why of shots. Learned a lot from this video. Thank you so very much. Have a great day 😀

It's easy to understand the angles and types of shots, but it's hard to put that on a checklist... How to ask the people to understand what this checklist means...
Joao Neto Yes I agree ! Would help my films too !
Find a shot list template and, if applicable, do a lined script ahead of time to pre-plan the shot list.
Storyboards help a lot, best next thing is a shot list.
Well there cant be a simple checklist, if anything, this video was the checklist. You have make a list of what information and what emotiin you want (not) to convey with every beat of your scene and then find the shot or sequence of shots that is accomploshing that best.
I think you only learn thst from a) practice (shooting sth and then see in the efit if the shots work together like you had in your mind) and b) looking at lots of examples that impress you or are like the project you plan to do and analyse them. A great resource for that is the channel Studio Binder, and Every frame a painting.
