I have watched Studiobinder videos and others, and this is the best example of shot types and explanations I have seen. Even the difference of lens in an EST shot and long. Well done. Subscribed.
I love how you narrate this video :). I am two days in of writing a shot list for my short film, and this video has helped me immensely; thank you so much! Subscribed!
I subscribed because of the simplicity of your presentation. It is a cool presentation like that but loaded with points for indie filmmakers to benefit. I will appreciate if you work on shots/scenes CONTINUITY options in filmmaking and REASONS or EFFECTS for each option.
This is a very informative video but I think that close-ups for be kept for special moments otherwise you could fall victim to the law of diminishing returns
Great question👍🏻 I’d suggest wide shots to show the entire action/ move demonstration, and then close ups to show specific details. Hope that’s helpful.
Great to hear! Thanks for supporting my channel. LMK if there are any other topics you’d like me to cover in new videos. I’m always looking for fresh ideas:)
Thank you for the kind words and for supporting my channel. Please let me know if there are other topics you’d like me to cover. I’m always looking for good ideas:)
I would be also interesting to see composition in visual design. Or maybe how to do a shot list or even creating a Pre-line shot plan with your script reference film scripts. I enjoyed this video edited very well.
Thanks for supporting my channel! Great comments. Visual design, photographs, and paintings are all wonderful inspiration for your filmmaking. Before making a shot list, I recommend the director and cinematographer get together and share with each other visual references that inspire them and the film they are planning to make. Pick a painter whose composition or color palette you like, or maybe it’s a photographer or designer, or most likely it’s scenes from another film that you love and want to be inspiration for your film.
Yes, though keep them short in the actual shot list. Maybe 5 or 6 words. Don’t write a paragraph;) The shot list is a document you share with other crews members (cinematographer, 1st AD, Producer), and you want it to be a guide for them as well, but they don’t need all of the details you may have in your head. As the Director, you’ll have your own notebook or maybe the script, with detailed notes about each shot and each scene. Hope this is helpful;)
Thank you. Great question. A shot list is a tool filmmakers use on set to make sure they shoot all the footage they think they need for the editing room. A storyboard is like a comic strip version of your movie. It includes the shots and how they might be editing together. The shot list is your list of ingredients, and the storyboard is what the finish dish will look like…okay it’s not a perfect analogy, but hopefully you get the gist😁
I subscribed… but I have a question… with the seemingly infinite ways to shoot a scene how do you decide what to shoot? If you watch Tony Scott’s film he has multiple different angles in just a few seconds of film. I can’t even imagine how to plan something like that
Thx for supporting my channel and for your great question:) Figuring out where to place your camera to shoot a scene is the essence of directing. You’re right there are a thousand spots to place the camera. Begin with the script and what you think the scene is about. Then decide on what essential information you want to convey and the tone/mood you are trying to create. Work from the basics of coverage, and then build from there. And if you’re lucky enough to have Tony Scott’s budget, then shoot it from tons of different angles and then decide in the editing room. Every director has their own style and technique. Your job as a filmmaker is to figure out what style is your own;)
Thanks for your comment. I’m developing a comprehensive online course of how to produce your first feature film, and right now I’m offering 1-on-1 coaching.
Storyboards are great tools to visualize and communicate with your cinematographer and editor. A shot list is more functional as an on-set tool, especially for the 1st AD and rest of the crew. Also, a storyboard may have the same shot on it multiple times, same as a comic strip. While shot list is more economical and a better guide for shooting.
Great video but do not suggest to anyone to have as many close ups as possible. This is bad advice because overusing or abusing close-ups is a crutch for poor blocking and staging. Directors would rather learn to block and stage actors AND THEN integrate close-ups into that.
Thanks for watching my video and for your perspective. It is very important, as you mention, for directors to learn blocking. That said, shooting enough close-ups does not preclude or limit that. From my experience, many beginning filmmakers focus too much on shooting wide shots and then run out of time on set to get enough close-ups. Having a shot list that includes a variety of shots is my main point, and close-ups are an important element to capture. At the end of the day, you find your film in the editing room. Your #1 goal on set is your shoot enough great footage to make a great movie.
I’ve never read or subscribed to Studio Binder..and I’ve been teaching filmmaking for more than 20 years…and making films for more than 30 years. There are some fundamental rules and techniques to filmmaking which I’m sure are covered by people who understand how to and have made films. I’m assuming the people who created Studio Binder understand and have made films. Is that the case?

Very nice and informative video. One question: Do you add your thoughts for camera movements in the description to the right side of the shot list?
Yes, though keep them short in the actual shot list. Maybe 5 or 6 words. Don’t write a paragraph;) The shot list is a document you share with other crews members (cinematographer, 1st AD, Producer), and you want it to be a guide for them as well, but they don’t need all of the details you may have in your head. As the Director, you’ll have your own notebook or maybe the script, with detailed notes about each shot and each scene. Hope this is helpful;)

What’s the difference between shot list and storyboard? Btw good video!
Thank you. Great question.
A shot list is a tool filmmakers use on set to make sure they shoot all the footage they think they need for the editing room.
A storyboard is like a comic strip version of your movie. It includes the shots and how they might be editing together.
The shot list is your list of ingredients, and the storyboard is what the finish dish will look like…okay it’s not a perfect analogy, but hopefully you get the gist😁

I've made couple short films on red komodo and sony fs5 mark ii. My only regret is not taking CU and ECU
Those are great cameras👍🏻 and yes, CUs are often the key to good storytelling. And they’re super helpful in the editing!

What to do with storyboard then
Storyboards are great tools to visualize and communicate with your cinematographer and editor. A shot list is more functional as an on-set tool, especially for the 1st AD and rest of the crew. Also, a storyboard may have the same shot on it multiple times, same as a comic strip. While shot list is more economical and a better guide for shooting.
