Happy New Year Fam!
Happy new year D!
You should do a decade goals and what you would you expect in filmmaking industry.
Happy New Year Darius! Keep inspiring!
Happy New Year.
Happy new year
06:20 I didn't realize how much i needed D's classic "Fff...........FFOOOO!!!!" until now...
No favorite comp. My favorite part is that each one made me feel something different. And I am very happy about that. I might be starting to understand how framing makes the audience feel, maybe...
That's where it starts :) thank you for commenting HP.
oh yeah, even the slightest 10% change in angle, distance, or focal length can drastically change the shot!
But the big thing was that I could see it. Being new at this that was great.
I really liked the classic & central framing, especially when you her knees added to the depth by providing foreground in the composition. Bru your vids are🔥. Thanks for the knowledge 👊
YES! Definitely agree!
I felt the same!
The E.C.U. shot of her eyes engaged me the most. Thank you for sharing Darius!
Could you possibly make a video on thinking of ideas for videos and short films? I have plenty, but they're always big and out of my reach. If I try thinking smaller, though, I struggle; I just can't think of anything interesting that I could do with the limits I have. Its always amazed me how you make shorts like Working With Will, Slapboxer, The Boss, and all your other shorts- they're all so unique. I think a video like this would help me and many others who suffer similar problems. Love you man, love your videos, and thank you for the help you've given me so far :)
Central framing is a winner for me. Like how we see on her eyes as the dart side to side in contemplation.
Huge fan of short sided shots. The handheld shot over the notebook was very nice as well. Felt a little more with that shot than any of the others -- a nice raw shot for a nice raw moment.
I liked the look of version 1 and version 5 because it doesn't feel so lonely because you see in those shots the character's face, body, book and couch without being overwhelmed. It is a warm and comforting feeling while still protraying the feeling of her being alone in her thoughts.
Darious I started watching you January of last year because I wanted to make ads for my business. Now the business is no more but I found a passion I never knew I had. I bought the Panasonic Lumix G7, box lights and some wireless microphones. Always ready and willing to learn more from you. I even did a interview with a Black Panther doll. Keep it coming and thank you.
Great teacher. Thanks! ....oh, the Classic Closeup is the winner.
Man u the best, u teach better then all my teacher back in high school. God bless u
Love your channel, man - you always give such great info and you move it along really well. My personal favorite of the 4 is short sighting, just because of the angst, the discomfort, and the tough road ahead that it conveys. Like you said, it can only be used sparingly, but it's usually really effective when done well. Great stuff, dude!
Idk how to repay you, I'm so grateful for you , boi!
This video is literally why I love this art form. Great video, keep up the good content!
I love all the shots..
I really like the first shot and the last shot the best
I personally love short sighting because I usually interpret it as a way to force me to consider what's going through the back of their mind.
I love tension, and seeing the actor framed in a way that presents the fork in the road gives me chills.
Great video man! Happy new year!
Happy New Year!
Your picks were my favourite
Super simple video, yet super helpful information! Great video as always!
Darious, you're my favorite filmmaker! I learn so much from your videos! I just wanted to say it!!
«no rules, just tools» !!!!
Hi D. Hope you are doing good. I found your video tutorials very comprehensive and easy to understand. Could you please help us showing more videos on how to take various shots like the one you made on Close - ups. It would be of great help for self learners like me.
Happy new year. Thank you for all your quality content in the past decade
Still having fun with the anamorphics? 😉Another informative, entertaining, and engaging video. Thanks for an awesome year of learning and SEE YA NEXT YEAR FOOL! 🙏🏽❤️🎊
Really nice! Like it very much! Thanks. Greets from Germany 😉
Love it! D4 You Rule!
I like ‘em all but #4 is my fav.
I enjoyed the classic, profile, and wide shot in these examples. The profile is the oddball but I enjoyed it because it felt a little awkward and uncomfortable as if that was the tone of her letter.
Another Great Video!!! Thanks Darious! With the tips you have helped me out alot starting over and not just vlogging my trips on youtube but actually spending the time to setup the shots.
My favorite was the one with no close ups. It feels like I can process the situation without it being jumpy or drawing attention to multiple cuts, and I just like the style of it.
F***ing love your Videos!! hapy new year!
Dope topic. Thanks champ!
Happy New Year Darious. Much love to you, your family and your beautiful mother. Many blessings up. And Happy New Year D4D Fam. Looking forward to learning and growing with you in the New Year. All the best.
Classic, center, shortsighting. Probably in this order. But I wouldn't do 2 closeups. And obviously depending on the story. Classic seems the less relevant, it could be done just to make the shot a bit more interesting. The eye-only center feels the most powerful. If it's a pretty emotional moment, I'd use that. Short sight is the most unique one, but it's the hardest to use well. Love Mr Robot because how well they limit space to create uncomfortable situations. But I'm a total noob didn't shoot anything (yet 🙂). Great video (as always)!
Great video bro
You're dope dude. Once again this was informative.
I liked the 3rd one
A film I would highly recommend for ideas on composition and framing would be Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. Aside from the main characters being film lovers - which is immediately resonant for people here - they had a fairly small window to make the film (18 days I think) and to keep things fresh they shot almost every scene in a different way. Nearly every example you could think of gets used in some way in the film. Some scenes are shot entirely in one take, others in a more conventional sense but from angles you'd never think of. Its a truly inspiring film for filmmakers and simply a great film. I couldn't recommend it enough.
Interesting I would have done all of this scene from the central shot closeup where you can only see her eyes and the paper because from what I could guess what she is writing about is important so having it right in front of the camera signifies it's importance and only having her eyes as the other thing in the frame show how she is focused on it. I also think it just looks cooler than the other closeups.
🐐🐐🐐🔥🔥🔥
Lucky Luke! Happy New Year Brutha.
@@D4Darious Happy New Year!!!
Great Video
Probably says a lot of me as a filmmaker, but I really liked the classic close up 😂I also enjoyed the sequence without the close up, like you said, sometimes wides are the right choice.
I really liked shot 1 and shot 4
not to be basic or simple-minded or anything but I really preferred version 4 of the close-up, the handheld aspect made it feel really personal and fit the tone of the scene; I don't think the other close-ups worked as well and I don't think that letting the wide play out was what the scene needed, although Darious did make me chuckle ever so slightly with the surprise
Tbh I liked the 4th one where it was central framed. It just hit different you know😂
Even better than your normal quality
I am not shooting feeling yet but excellent information for my UA-cam videos. And as always I love the way you explain step-by-step. Happy new years pham and I Wish you all the best
Thanks for this well thought video to start 2020. Very helpful and inspirational. Hope to see more D4D videos this year, as you always instruct and inspire. Many thanks. Happy New Year. :D
Great video. Really thinking about this now.
Strangely, I think my favourite was the second shot. The second and third both felt almost like I was a character in the scene as they were so close to the opening shot, and in profile. But the third felt like she was being intimidated in some way, because she looked trapped by the edge of frame. The second showed body language and someone who was less intimidated and more secretive and withdrawn. Felt a lot more character defining and less plot defining to me, which in a short experiment, or an opening is a lot better for capturing an audiences attention.
In summary, when I said thinking I meant bleathering.
Great video! thank you and Happy New Year!
classic & central it is for me here
Happy new year😀🎉🎉
🎊🎉🙏
That one is amazing💕😍
Thank you Tedly. Glad you found it useful.
@@D4Darious I always look through your videos just to get some way to make my own video
What I'm trying to say it your videos help me a lot
Short sighting can be used really good in horror, when you don't know what the protagonist is facing.
We need more Darious 2020
Hey man I’ve been watching you for over a year now. When I realized I wanted to make movies the first thing I did was look it up on UA-cam and I watched your videos. I’ve learned more from you than anybody else. So I come to you with this question. I’m in college looking to transfer to a film school next year. All the colleges I’ve heard about seem almost impossible to get into. Do you know of any colleges that have great film program but aren’t impossible and won’t cost me a kidney to get into?
Happy New Year ! And daaamn what's that kinda cheap technic you found to got anamorphic flares ?
I'm using an anamorphic lens ;)
@@D4Darious oh lord, hope you have fun with it... I'm using a piece of nylon string in front of my lens and I'm already feel like J.J Ab. Budget restriction here.
You have a realy good chanel
I hope you get more subs
I love this guy, hahahaha, really.
happy new year bro
Central. It's very original, with the page in the half bottom
Good stuff, I appreciate the insight man.
Joseph Garcia what’s up my dude
Thank you for commenting JJ.
Loved it, seriously.
Btw, the sponsor link is wrong. It's linked to your kit.co page
Thank you Brutha. Fixed it.
@@D4DariousGreat, now I'll check this sub value xD
We're you using an animprphoc lense? The long shot has those typical blue lense flares across the screen. I know this is a stylistic choice but don't like how this is slowly becoming more common. Having constant lighting blasting across shots and talents faces is incredibly distracting. Fantastic video though. Really like your classic composition.
I can hear little bit of hiss, SM7B super quiet mic, you need more amplification. Cloudlifter or fethead will help. I personally prefer fethead - it's slightly cheaper. Also you moving a lot, so may be overhead boom will works better.
"A little goes a long way" - tell that to Handmaid's Tale lol
Another master class! Thank you for showing real world examples and sharing real world advice, like "experience is the best teacher", so get off UA-cam and go shoot! Keep up the great content into 2020 and beeeeeyooooond
Every frame a painting has a great video on how Bong Joon Ho uses telephoto profile close up shots in Mother. Check it out.
Visually, w/o knowing the story, I love #1 and like #5. 2-4 are too distracting (not her best side, zit-shots). Cheers & Happy New Year, D4.
Missing that zoom h1n
I love Unsound that lady did a really good job that film hit me on a personal level and my mental health issue's
Happy new year!
Same to you Otab!
I laugh so hard on the fool part... your teeth was like a rabbit lol
Sooo you got a GH4 first person to say it but why didn't you stick to the g7 and why not a gh5
zarrar ahmed malik2007 he switched ? He prolly wanted the extra features like being able to use a monitor
What are your thoughts on Christopher Nolan’s Tenet trailer ?
I like that saying, "There are no rules, just tools." I had this same debate with someone on Facebook who said a steady shot is crucial to film making. I disagreed.
o darious brett here
There’s a real lack of nostril closeups in film. 😉
Great video man. Thank you.
her eyes are very powerful in these scenes...they say alot...it has to be 2nd or 3rd ...But i would go with 3.. eyes and that empty space behind her...which says..nothing else to write anymore..focuses on her emptiness
Aint no close up! ... Foooh! LoL
I think a properly placed wide gives the big picture feeling or a feeling of completion and that holds so much emotion and weight
How to shoot close up - first close up awkwardly composed - closed
central
No answer ......
No rules Fam |,,/
1:51 - Doesn't work due for me....a distracting..... 'artifacts' near her mouth.
But she is lovely.
.... Yeah....
Dude your face saying "fool" is epic lol
Happy new year!
Same to you Fam.
Great info, thanks D Britt! Liking that classic closeup and the central framing can be good when used sparingly.
Thanks for commenting CJ! You can't go wrong with the classic.
Can you tell the focal length? I liked close up 1 and 3.
Short sighting makes me feel so uncomfortable, like I used to while watching Mr Robot
sometimes, wide-angle closeups are used to great effect! often used to show something being off or distorted or it's a 90's music video
LOVE IT! Can we collaborate on your next film?I am willing to come to Arizona or wherever you are now just for the opportunity.
Great video! The central framing seemed the most visually interesting to me, and made me feel an emotional connection. Looking forward to seeing more of your work in 2020. Happy New Year!
Yo Darious Brit here
Wait did I get the name correctly?
I prefer Version 4, especially for the shakyness, it feels more like I'm there near her thoughts.
I liked version 4 for the first close up over the paper, but then when cutting back the second time using version 5. Thx for the video. Great insights!
4th comment!!!! 10th like!!!!!! Yay I love ending the year like this!! Happy 2020 people!!!
