Frame up on close ups, and filming on shadow side of subject something always tried to stay away from by adding light. Yc 💪

The tip about filming the shadows was really good. Haven't heard that one before but it could not be more accurate

@alexandrelima3697 3 года назад

The "frame for tge wide shot first" really helped

@roykim5559 3 года назад

Filming on the shadow side is one way of saying “far side key”. It’s a common cinematography technique that filmmakers use to create contrast, emotion and depth. They put the key light on the far side of shooting to have a 2-1 or 3-1 lighting ratio. 2 stops on the far side and 1 stop on the fill.

@dkkeyz8815 3 года назад

YC you are one of my RU-vid teachers! Will be 100%. 1) hold the shot. 2) frame for your wide 3) separation 4) don’t shoot to the bright side. (Guilty haha true story) 5) come on, white walls? You need something to look at. These are all things I need to try harder to remember when planning and filming. Thank you!

I can’t believe how I used to film sitting up against the wall, and thought it actually looked good. Thanks for the tips, that shadow side tip is a game-changer

@mondobytes 3 года назад

Hold your shot has saved me a ton, I can't tell you how many times I've used clips after "cut" was called and it's after where sometimes the magic happens. Great tips too, I don't shoot music videos but filming wide first was a good one I'll have to remember if I ever do.

All the tips are great because they came from a place of understanding what we can use relative to what you've been through. Keep doing your thing and much love in 2021 and beyond!

@MattAitia 3 года назад

These tips are soo underrated. Whenever I'm holding a shot I make sure to count to 10 in my head. If possible I also try to do a location scout to find the best times of day and make sure the walls aren't white 😉. Happy new year!

@YCImaging 3 года назад

Happy new year! 🎊

@MoniJohnson 3 года назад

That tip about framing for wide shots first is the one. I hadn't even thought of that but it would greatly improve my workflow. I agree about separation of your subject 100% too. Funny, I had an artist say once that he didn't feel a video was professional unless everything was in focus (no shallow depth of field at all) and lit the same way. I was like, "Dude, I ain't interested in shooting your videos then".

@diversedad7954 3 года назад

Filming on the shadowed side is for sure the best tip. Exactly why us pros back light 99% of our stuff or if it's front lit we shoot on the shadowed side also called shooting the "short light".

I didn't know about the " Film on the side of the Shadow " tip until 3 months ago, and men It's a game changer for real, Shoot and interview or just a talking head in the bright and then shadow side , compare them, and then you're goin to realize the HUGE difference !

@usmanmajid7837 3 года назад

Dope video man, really practical tips! I literally was editing a video earlier and realised the final shot was just 2-3 seconds short of being PERFECT! Gotta stop being trigger-happy and let the shot run a bit longer for sure. And the shadow side tip! I recently learned this while composing the B-cam for my talking head shots. I didn't realise how much difference it makes to have the B-cam shooting from the shadow side to create a lot more depth in the shadows and to 'shape the face'. Keep it up man, loving the videos 🙌

@byrdmagic 3 года назад

Shoot on shadow side makes sense. Never thought about it as a video rule. While doing photography I do always put the sun on the subjects back.

also, grabbing your wide helps capture the location at a certain moment with natural light. you can compensate the changes with close ups and adding light. but you cant fake the wide shots light.

2 of them stand out for me: Filming on the shadow side When I started doing this it really helped me to understand that lighting isn't just about exposure. It's about contrast. That difference between light and shadow. And knowing how much control we can have over it. Holding shots I like that you brought up this being important especially in documentary-style shooting. One of my first jobs was as an assistant editor on a reality TV show. Watching back footage, this was one of the most important things I learned. Holding shots to let the action happen in front of the camera.

My favorite tip was filming on the Shadow side. Even with the experience that I have, I've caught myself in moments of filming on the brightest side of the shot. Catching that depth can be HELLA crucial to the shot! The White wall cinema tip was interesting as well. I never heard of this, but I will try filming with more colors now. Thanks for this vid.

Film in the shadow area and film the wide shots first and after the detail shots with the same lighting setup are top tips for anyone starting now. Ah,the white walls... Easy solution for me if I can't avoid them is 2 X Neewer 660 RGB Tiel and magenta cast on the wall. Overused yes but still better than a white wall. Excellent informations inside this video apart from the sponsorship (which pay the bills is understandable)
